Ad-hoc Committee on financial recklessness in the Niger Delta Development Commission last week, the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio and the former acting Managing Director of NDDC, Dr Joy Nunieh have engaged in digging each other’s ‘dirty deals.’
“One of the issues raised against me was that I awarded contracts without them knowing about it. Am sure that is what they told you people yesterday. “When we first came to NDDC on the day of inauguration, we were going to the camp, he told me Madam MD, if you don’t do what I said, the same pen I used in signing your letter, that is the same pen I will use in removing you.
“So, he came and ask me to draft a letter on my letterhead implicating Senator Peter Nwaoboshi for collecting contracts in NDDC. I told him that I will not do that I am a lawyer and who alleges should prove. He said Senator Nwaoboshi is giving us trouble and beside, he didn’t recognize the IMC. I said I will not do that letter. He said I was ungrateful and I refuse to do that letter.
“They got the letter headed. Dr Cairo now did a letter which I want to tender at the Ad-hoc Committee before I came late, alleging that Senator Nwaoboshi had contracts and I said if I signed any document and is seen by Mr. President, he will believe and I refused to sign. “The NDDC before I came has overstretched for about N50 billion for hyacinths and so the National Assembly has written us that we should not pay for anything like that.
