Group Lauds Tinubu's Appointment Of Okang As NDDC Board Member

The Network, in statement by its national coordinator, Comrade Ushie Clement Omang, during a press conference in Abuja on Friday, said that by appointing Asu, President Tinubu has raised the bar and shown that competence is the parameter for public service.

“We want to formally thank President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for considering Mr. Asu Okang competent enough to represent Cross River State in the NDDC Board. We commend his open-mindedness to embrace and usher in vibrant patriots who had hitherto played at the sub-national levels into the national mainstream politics.

“We wish to also state categorically that, he has not infringed on any Established Act of the NDDC whatsoever, because this appointment is not only well deserving, but also falls in line with Mr. President’s penchant for talent discovery that has characterized his bold and giant strides in Lagos state and the nation at large. We vehemently affirm this particular appointment as a round peg in a round hole,” he stated.

Comrade Ushie described those who were protesting against the appointment as ignorant and parochial without basic fundamental knowledge of the NDDC Act and the thinking of President Tinubu. “May we humbly refer Cross Riverians of goodwill to Part 1, Section 2b of the Niger Delta Development Commission Establishment Act 2000, which provides that: one person who shall be an indigene of an oil producing area to represent each of the following member states, that is ABIA STATE, AKWA IBOM STATE, BAYELSA STATE, CROSS RIVER STATE, DELTA STATE, EDO STATE, IMO STATE, ONDO STATE and RIVERS STATE.
