This is all the imagination of this writer.
Omo-Agege and Ogboru will just be smiling at your lack of proper enlightenment.
They are both in the game, they play it the way they want it, you are just an onlooker who thinks he knows what is going on but know nothing.

That's the political lesson. That the number of years one has spent politicking does not guarantee fortune. It's all dependent on how one plays their games.

NDDC: Ondo oil producing communities threaten to sue FG, Buhari

NDDC: 4-point agenda for Prof Nelson Brambaifa
Bamigbola Gbolagunte, Akure

Oil producing communities in Ondo State have threatened to sue the Federal Government and President Muhammadu Buhari if an indigene of the communities is not appointed Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

The communities which are located in the oil-rich Ilaje Local Government Area, claimed that it was their turn to produce the managing director going by the rotational arrangement provided by the Act that established it in July 2000.

Addressing a press conference in Akure, yesterday, Secretary General of Egbe Omo Ilaje, the apex socio-cultural organisation of all the communities in Ilaje Local Government Area, Mr. Edamisan Ogunfeyijimi, said President Buhari would be contravening NDDC Act Cap 86 if he failed to appoint an indigene of the area as the next MD of NDDC.

He pointed out that Ondo was the only state that has not produced the managing director or executive director among the nine states that make up the Niger/Delta states despite its quantum of crude oil production.

“It must be emphasised that by the provisions of the act that established the NDDC, which make the offices of the managing director and executive directors of the commission rotational among member states in order of production, it is not intended that a state would hold any of the offices twice while others are yet to take respective turns nor does the law allows a situation where only a few state would rotate the offices amongst themselves to the exclusion of other member states.

“Thus, the current news making the round that the president has approved new appointments in the commission, such that the managing director would come from Delta State and the two executive directors come from Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa states would not only be a perpetuation of illegality, but also a continuous slap on the face of other member states.

“We, the people of the oil producing area of Ondo State wish to make it unequivocally clear that we shall not accept anything short of the position of the managing director of the commission, for which we are long due. In the same vein, the position of the chairman of the board of NDDC, having been held respectively by Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Bayelsa and Cross River states, the office ought to go to Delta State in the alphabetical order of the member states which the act recognises.

“We, therefore, believe that the proposed illegal appointments brazenly announced when the president was out of the country did not receive the blessing of the president. In the same manner, the Senate, which reserves the power of approval of the executive in this regards cannot be rightly called upon to act in violation of the laws made by it,” he said.

Justice Tsoho Moves To Compromise Lawsuits Challenging Composition Of NDDC Board, Transfers Cases To Abuja
By THEWILL_ - September 28, 2019

Justice John Tsoho
FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailCopy LinkWhatsAppShare
SAN FRANCISCO, September 28, (THEWILL) – The Acting Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho has been accused of bias, compromise and working with vested interests to ensure that all the lawsuits filed by Rights groups and NGOs at the federal High Courts in Delta, Edo and Rivers States challenging the composition of the Board and Management of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) recently announced by the Federal Government comes to naught.

The uproar which greeted the announcement followed the non-compliance with the provisions of the NNDC Act No. 6 of 2000 by President Muhammadu Buhari in the nomination of the leadership of the yet to be inaugurated Board. The Act clearly prescribes how the Chairman and Managing Director and Board should be appointed.

The watchdog group, Centre For Accountability and Good Governance

says it has uncovered a memo from the Acting Chief Justice’s office directing the Registrars of the courts in the states where the suits were filed to hands off the cases and transfer them to Abuja, where the group said they will be reassigned to a favourable judge in the federal capital, who will in turn dismiss the cases.

The statement said: “We have reliably gathered that the Registrars in the Federal High Court in the states where cases were filed to nullify the composition of the board and management of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) recently announced by the Federal Government have been directed by the Acting Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho to transfer the cases to Abuja.

“This is an unprecedented development as we have reliably gathered that the cases will be assigned to a compromised judge who is working for the cabal that influenced the illegal appointment. The plan is to have the cases thrown out of the court system.

“We, like several other groups are shocked that President Muhammadu Buhari could be misled to make the appointments into the NDDC in violation of the Law. Gladly, this has been brought to the attention of the President and we believe the delay in forwarding their names to the Senate for confirmation is because he is now aware of the grave error.

“We are however using this statement to alert the public of this shady plot by the Acting Chief Judge and the ugly cabal behind the appointment as we gathered they are hell bent on pressing on with their illegality.”
All the lawsuits are asking the courts to nullify the appointment because it is in conflict with the NDDC Act.

The president should take his time to investigate the porported appointment and those behind it before constituting the NDDC board with fresh people.

It is a thing of shame to identify yourself as an APC member in Delta State. All PDP members in the state are living happily and mocking APC members. What sort of party reward byestanders and ghost APC members to the detriment of committed party faithfuls who worked to deliver the party in the state.

Even the governors have seen that APC is going into extinction due to the activities of the cabal who reward people who didn't work for the party because of their personal selfish interest

There is APC but the party is dying due to the activities of the cabal. The Obituary of the party may finally take place if nothing is done to reward those who work hard for the party.

PDP will have no need to campaign in 2023 if Buhari fail to reward his fighters in Delta State. It will be 100/100 for PDP. APC members are very ready to rock the boat . We are not fools.
