Ondo stakeholders laud Buhari on NDDC board recomposition | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

This came as Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu attributed his prolonged absence from the state a few weeks ago as part of efforts to pressurise the federal government to rescind the appointments. Sequel to the confirmation of the Dr. Pius Odubu-led Board, stakeholders in the state had threatened that there would be no peace in the region unless their grievances were addressed.

“It is in line with the spirit and letters of the provisions of the Act establishing the NDDC that Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom states have produced the MD in line with quantum of production.“Therefore, the government and people of Ondo State have a firm belief that Mr. President, in recomposing the Board and Management of the NDDC, would consider the clause in the Act and do the needful by appointing an indigene of Ondo State as the next MD of the NDDC.

Executive Director of the Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice , David Ugolor, said the President’s assertion that the NDDC Board confirmed by the Senate would be recomposed smacks of disregard for the development of the region.He said: “As we speak, the common man in Niger Delta is dying and if the people begin to demand for their rights, people would label them as violent people.

“Why will the President rely on political appointees to carry out a forensic audit when you have NEITI that is statutorily obligated to do things like this is not allowed to? You now allow Senator Godswill Akpabio, your appointee as a minister. This is a huge set back for us as a country and it is not good for the credibility of this government. We need to speak out, so that Buhari will know that this is not good for this country. At the end, we don’t expect anything to come out this.
