A group under the aegis of South – South Mass Movement For Democracy And Development has urged President Muhammad Buhari, to inaugurate the already screened board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, so as to match the actions of Mr President with words as a global icon of integrity.
The group which said that the Nigerian people and the international community await the actions of the President explained that inaugurating the screened NDDC will marked a new beginning not only for the commission but the people of the Niger Delta region.
In a press release signed by : Duke America Okporua, President; Egbe, Michael Egbe, Secretary General; Dan Armor, Director of Public Communication and Hope Omoikhefe Ojeawere, Director of Youth Mobilization, the group congratulated Mr President on the receipt of the forensic audit and urged that report be implemented to the last level no matter whose horse is gored.
The press statement reads: “It is with a very high sense of responsibility and patriotism that we once again adumbrate on the vexed issue of the Niger Delta Development commission (NDDC).
“We congratulate Mr. President and the people of the Niger Delta for the receipts of the report of the forensic auditors which Mr. President commissioned to examine the activities of the commission since inception.
“From what we have heard so far from the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), the forensic audit is the nemesis of those wicked men and women who abused their privileged positions and appropriated our collective patrimony for themselves and their families and generations unborn. Such wanton wickedness must not go unpunished. Consequently, we wish to categorically state as follows: “Any body found culpable in the forensic audit report must be brought to book no matter how highly placed.
“All looted assets and funds of the commission must be recovered and channeled back to the commission to execute projects that will develop the Niger Delta region and lift our people out of poverty.
