PIB: Bayelsa senator attacks Dickson, militants vow fresh attacks - Punch Newspapers

24 July 2021

He warned that if Dickson was not cautioned, such comments could lead to civil unrest in the Niger Delta. The senator was reacting to Dickson’s allegation against the Minister of State , Chief Timipre Sylva, of changing the development funds in the PIB for host communities from five per cent to three per cent, saying it was a collective decision by the National Assembly.Dickson had alleged that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , proposed five per cent as development funds in the PIB but that it was changed by Sylva.

He said, “During the public hearing at various centres, host communities canvassed the same position. After a rigorous and painstaking process from plenary to conference committee, the National Assembly put the host community funds at three per cent. This was the decision of the National Assembly and not that of the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva.

Biobarakumo is here only defending Sylva and not adding any thing. Is he saying the 3% is justified?

This is just looting in a circle
