President Muhammadu Buhari has asked Senate to approve the appointment of his Special Adviser on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, as the substantive chairman of the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

Senate had, earlier, rejected her nomination as commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission in October 2020.

The presidential aide, however, maintained that she had resigned her membership of the party in 2019. Buhari’s letter, which was read at plenary by Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, yesterday, also named 15 others as members of the board.
