NDDC: Crises Looms In Niger Delta As Stakeholder Set For Massive Protest by dre11(m): 5:40pm On Jul 25, 2020
.........Against Akpabio, IMC



Ughelli – There are indications of imminent tension in Niger Delta as stakeholders from the region are set to stage a massive protest against Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, and Professor Kemebradikumo Pondei-led Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) over the misappropriation of funds belonging to the interventionist agency.

The stakeholders, under the platform of Niger Delta Development Initiative (NDDI), also called on critical stakeholders and well meaning individuals in the region to rise up against the Interim Management Committee set up by the presidency to oversee the affairs of the Niger Delta Development Commission ( NDDC).

They said the massive protest will be to call for the immediate sack of Godswill Akpabio, outrigh dissolution of the Interim Management Committee and demand for the reconstitution of Board of NDDC, warning that should their demands not met could leave to chaos and disruption of oil facilities across the region.

“we note with anger the percieved corruption allegedly displayed or committed by Senator Akpabio and other members of the IMC which catered away billions of naira met for the development of region inline with the core mandates of NDDC was the height of inhuman and wickedness”.

Representatives of the group, Comrade Famous Daunimegha, President and Prince Kakas Amgbare, spokesman, in a statement, also frowned and expressed displeasure at the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Sen Godswill Akpabio, the acting executive Director, Dr Cairo Ojugbo and cohorts for running the affairs of the interventionist agency as one man show.

The stakeholders urged them to have a rethink over their actions and understands that the establishment of NDDC was a birth rock and product of negotiations of the oil arms struggle for emancipation of the Niger Delta.

According to the statement, it is sad to note that Dr. Cairo Ojugbo who is from Agbo in Delta state which does not produce even a drop of oil dictating the actions, programs and policies of NDDC.

“They did not only stole the future of the people, but also stole education and made countless Niger Deltans illiterate, they stole healthcare and killed countless children as well as money meant for generating employment and made millions jobless”.

I don't know the kind of sanitizer that can decontaminate Nigeria from corruption because GEJ's own failed, and Buhari's own is just like perfume, cos it hasn't worked at all...Unfortunately once a protest begins, a counter protest is staged by paid agents of interested parties. Which way Naija?

Niger Delta people stealing Niger Delta money. If we talk too much, then go say na their Oyel money.

Anyway, the protest is a welcome. In fact, it is long overdue. I even expect the so called Niger Delta militant and avengers to speak up against the sons and daughters of the soil who are impoverishing the region.

What the South South politicians do is confuse their people with complex yet meaningless grammar and also remind them of the common lie that the problems ravaging the south stems and shoots from a faraway North. Whereas, they are the greedy ones keeping their people in poverty and LAZINESS

When will Yoruba stage a protest against Tinubu that appropriated half of lands in lekki to himself and cronies?

All I see them do everyday is talk about it in hush tones.

*For 19yrs NDDC can't boast of any project or development cuz 80% of contracts are awarded by NASS. Akpabio

*NDDC funds are used by NASS n political elite in the region to contest Election. Akpabio

*NDDC contracts is like lottery, political elite in the regions used it to award their party loyalist. Akpabio

*Over seventeen thousand abandoned project littered every wre across the regions, cuz NASS leaders in regions are the major contractors. Akpabio

What are we saying, what is this one saying?

You are still repeating the same error I was pointing out. I.e always looking for who to blame.

Senator Ogunlewe was on TV few days ago alledging that the presidency and Nass were a big liability to NDDC.
just like the person above. Always looking for means to channel the blame on a the regions you hate.
If someone from another region was used to head NDDC, you would wail and be quick to label them thieves....
Now, all these things are happening right under the nose of the home owners (SS), yet, you still try to push it on the North.
Okay then, what happened to the 69billion naira scam under Jonathan amongst all other major crisis that rocked NDDC back then?
I guess Jonathan is a Northerner too, same as Obasanjo angry

Despite all of Tinubu’s flaws, Lagos is still the best governed State in Nigeria. It is the economic capital of Nigeria and the destination of choice for all Nigerians from other states who want to break the ceiling of poverty.

So you see, there is no need to protest against a system that works. The kind of protest you’re calling for is needed more in the south east. Igbos need to demand for the liberation of poorly governed states like Enugu, Abia, Imo, and Anambra.

That the south east is the poverty capital of the south is no longer acceptable. That Igbos cannot make it until they move to the south west is no longer acceptable. Political leaders in the region must be compelled to learn leadership and administrative skills from Tinubu and other Yoruba leaders so that they can turn around the fortunes of the region.

Apart from Lagos jointly developed by people all over the world, which Yoruba state is viable? I'm sure you came to Lagos too to better your lot, why didn't settle down in your village?

SE poverty capital of the South? You are a myopic fellow that has not travelled out of his comfort zone.

If you know what could be achieved had Tinubu not pressed Lagos down by the neck. Lagos can be better. Always demand for the best at all times.

Mind you,Lagos was developed with the resources from Niger Delta oil money & if am not mistaken some south east states are part of NDDC .so south east have stake in Lagos project & thts why south west have no other option than to accept them as apart of Lagos project.
