“As it stands today, Senator Akpabio has bluntly ignored the cries and appeals of prominent Niger Deltans to free NDDC from his grip in the interest of the region but instead of doing the needful, he has from time to time embarked on frivolous meetings with groups and individuals in furtherance of his divide and rule tactics while annoyingly abandoning the demands of his people to allow NDDC function in line with the dictates of the Act establishing it.
“On this premise and for the umpteenth time, we join other well-meaning Niger Deltans to call on the Federal Government to make public the findings of the long concluded forensic audit of the commission and punish all those found wanting, to serve as a deterrent to those coming in the much expected new board.
“It has become worrisome because our people are gradually running out of patience with protests being held almost on weekly basis by both youths, men, and women and if not addressed, may truncate the existing peace and in such situation, Senator Akpabio will be held responsible.” The AYF-W further stressed that by his actions, Akpabio has invariably trashed the goodwill of the region that he formerly enjoyed and the anger of the people for betraying their trust.
The youth group thereby appealed to President Buhari to hearken to the voice of the people of the region and inaugurate a substantive board for the NDDC in the interest of development.
