A coalition of Niger Delta groups have called out the deputy president of the senate, Ovie Omo-Agege to stop the unnecessary harassment and petty media war he has commissioned and currently sponsoring against the Honourable Minister of Niger Delta Affairs.
In a press statement by the coalition coordinator Amb. Kendigha Justice in Bayelsa state, the coalition stated clearly that proper investigations have been carried out and those behind the current media attack and protests just to discredit the good works of the honourable minister of Niger Delta Affairs have been unmasked. Instead of facing the various humongous and bogus legislative responsibilities before him, he has chosen to lead a squad of pull him down syndrome. He is busy running from pillar to post with all sorts of pettiness and frivolous allegations to deride a man that is saddled with the responsibility of developing the Niger Delta region as initiated by Mr. President.
"He is therefore forewarned to call his commissioned acolytes and those he has contracted to carry out all sort of silly acts or meet stiff resistance from youths of the Niger Delta Region.
Recall that the president in a letter signed by himself in December, 2019 reinforced the supervisory power over the affairs of the commission to continue resting with the minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Sen. Godswill Akpabio who is obviously committed to delivering the president's vision and mission for the mass development of the Niger Delta Region.
You may also Recall that the President through the advice of the honourable minister of Niger Delta Affairs; HE Godswill Akpabio, around October 2019, approved and appointed an Interim Management Committee to oversee the forensic audit of the Niger Delta Development commission (NDDC) accounts. This forensic audit was also backed by the 9 Niger Delta governors who are statutory members of the commission's advisory committee.
Since the inauguration of the IMC by the honourable minister, he has been faced with series of unfounded allegations by those who feels threatened by the auditing to unravel their loots in the commission.
The IMC which have just handed over all requisite documents and verification reports few weeks back to the forensic auditors that was contracted by the federal government have not also been left out in the current media rascality.
Findings have also revealed that those that sponsored the failed and disbanded screened nominees of the NDDC are at the forefront of this new media onslaught and sponsored street protests. They have vowed to continue discrediting the IMC and the audit to look like a sham so that the president can heed to their greedy demand of swearing-in their disbanded nominees.
The coalition noted that as already been cleared by the Acting Executive Direct project of the Commission; Dr Cairo Ojuogbo, there is no element of truth in those flying documents of indictments against the Honourable Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, the IMC or it's members.
The coalition sends strong warning to senator Ovie Omo Agege and his bandwagons of greedy politicians in the Niger Delta region bent on milking the commission dried and to oil their 2023 selfish political ambitions with the resources for the development of the Niger Delta to stay off the progress being made at the commission.
"We also want to draw the attention of Mr. President; President Muhammadu Buhari, governors of the 9 Niger Delta states and the entire people of the Niger Delta to ignore the ongoing desperate activities of these actors. Furthermore, we are reminding Mr president that same Senator Ovie Omo-Agege he cautioned few months back from acting as the GCFR of the country has now changed modus-Operandi just to gain traction in his cruel demand."
We are appealing to Mr President to be weary of the antics of Omo-Agege who is leading this onslaught on his appointees and bringing his administration to standstill with the powers he equipped him with.
