The House of Representatives said on Tuesday it will not succumb to blackmail in its quest to unravel the corruption allegations rocking the Niger Delta Development Commission .
Ojougboh speaking on a Television programme, alleged that the House was delaying the passage of the commission’s 2020 budget and was bent on halting a forensic audit of the intervention agency. Kalu, in a statement, in Abuja said the House remained committed to exposing corruption, inefficiency or waste in all aspects of governance.

“Therefore, till date, the commission has refused to render an account of its 2019 budget expenditures.
