You're right.

Odubu's hometown speaks Benin (Bini, Edo).

Oshiomhole’s mother tongue (local language) is a different language entirely

NDDC board chairman is just a ceremonial position with limited financial reward. The position is actually reserved for little or non oil producing states in the Niger delta region.

The Managing Director of the NDDC is the real deal as he co-ordinates the direction of the NDDC during his time there. So I see no reason for listing the profile of someone who cannot effect anything in NDDC.

This thread is much ado about nothing in particular.
