I ain't surprised ... Worst still to come ...

.... but what could he possibly steal in NDDC? Somebody that just assumed office on 20th February 2020 and by first week of April we entered lockdown which was eased few weeks ago. I understand that some people don't really think before they make comment here. In Nigeria once u are in a government position u are a thief automatically. People should leave this man alone abeg. He have no case to answer here, they should invite people in that office before him and ask them questions and not this man pls.

E no go better for all of una

Don't be generalistic.

Where did I include you in my analysis? Are you a docile Nigerian?

learning from Dino

SamuelOamen:
The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has explained that its acting Managing Director, Prof. Keme Pondei, collapsed at the National Assembly because he ignored his doctors' advice on his state of health.

A statement signed by the Director, Corporate Affairs, Charles Odili, said Pondei has been ill for the past two weeks but that his condition deteriorated Monday morning necessitating his doctors to advise him against attending the hearing.

Odili said: "The commission wishes to disclose that Prof Pondei has been ill for the past two weeks. This morning, his condition deteriorated, and his doctors advised against attending the hearing.

"However, he ignored his doctors’ advice because of the realisation that his traducers will use his absence at the hearing to soil his name and reputation. He thought he could make it through the hearing and take care of his health later. As it turned out, his doctors were right. Prof Pondei is in a stable condition at a clinic in Abuja."

Odili said that Pondei assumed office on February 20, 2020 and by May 5, the two arms of the National Assembly ordered a probe of his tenure, two third of which was spent under COVID-19 lockdown conditions.

He noted that following his position, Pondei, has an official duty to answer for the activities of the commission and what happened between 2008 – 2012 "which is the subject of another hearing based on the auditor general’s report for the period.”

He said: "It would, however, be unfair to hold him personally liable for acts which took place when he was not the head of the Commission. When the two arms of the National Assembly called for a probe, it was over a missing N40bn. The Commission took the rare step of publishing all payments made by it under Prof Pondei. No organisation in Nigeria, public or private has ever got to that level of transparency in our national history.

"As this publication undermined the claims of his accusers, the subject of the public hearing changed to ‘financial recklessness’. While this might appear insignificant, it amounted to changing the goal posts to smear a clean man. While misappropriation of N40bn is a matter demanding objective proof, the question of financial recklessness is one open to subjective judgement.

"The Commission is delighted that Olubunmi Ojo, the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on NDDC has recused himself from the hearing. At the end of the day, everyone has to answer for his role in the misappropriation of the resources of the Commission.

"It is this search for answers that led President Muhammadu Buhari, on the request of the nine governors of the region, to institute a forensic audit to probe what happened to the resources of the Commission from 2001 to date.

"The Prof Pondei led IMC has committed to the success of that exercise. While we thought there will be a fight back by those who dipped their hands in the cookie’s jar, we never expected this level of boldness and malevolent aggression as witnessed by accusers at hearing and their paid agents through all the media platforms.

"The Commission is participating at the hearing, even though it thinks that seeing to the conclusion of the forensic audit will serve the future of the Commission and the Niger Delta region more than the probe of 74 days of activities.”

What a lame damage control antics
How do you count your 2weeks
Tell us when your own 2weeks start counting, so that Nigerians can follow you and count.
Hope the day he walked out on the HOR Committee probing their alleged finacial malfeasance should be reckon with your 2weeks computations
Thieves everywhere!

40bn God!
Lol, like president like cabinets like citizens.

Awon oloribruku them.

May una kuku sell everything share d money na

Why did he refuse his Doctor's advise,that is too dangerous ..though the press would have feasted on his absence to dish out their biased news all over.

Beremx:
I am waiting for Asari Dokubo and all Niger Delta freedom fighters to come out to condemn the looting in NDDC. Unless they are part of it too.

dem no born them well!
if Asari and co. weren't part of it, they would have organised a press conference, granted interviews and threaten hell.

or you want them to talk so they'll start opening their files one by one like Akpabio did those Rep members.

you sef think am na.

Nothing wrong with that dude

Rubbish TALK

NDDC has long history of looting from 2002, over 15 Trillion has gone down the drain; using IMC as a sacrificial lamb is totally diversionary

*On forensic audit we stand*

The same professor who gallantly walked out on the national assembly commitee last week, has been sick for about 2 weeks.

Nigeria should fast forward death penalty for corruption...unfortunately This will not happen

Make una tiaa this country, shareram. Just give me my village make i dey go. I no want again.

helinues:
All liars shall rot in hell

They are always healthy when eating our yams, but for them to give explanation on spendings, they will start acting sickler

Yams?? Bro, yams are not for cowards!
Most Nigerians are cowards and will rather starve to death than fight for what is truly theirs. A just and fair government is the right of every Nigerian.

Cowards must starve!! Lol!!

Lass lass, the fainter and the faintee go get wetin den want

Are we saying that in the whole of Niger Delta there are no healthy people to head such a critical agency? Some Nollywood actors are simply over dramatizing their skills.

Now I see reason why Nigeria was referred to as an "undeveloping country" in one of punch newspaper's article just last week. We are definitely going NOWHERE as a nation.

professor emeritus...

Why is when you are investigated that people start fall sick,before then you bouncing up and down

If he is unhealthy, then why exactly did he take on the position? This do or die power grab that these people have is evil!

helinues:
All liars shall rot in hell

They are always healthy when eating our yams, but for them to give explanation on spendings, they will start acting sickler

PLS DO U REALLY KNOW OR UNDERSTAND WHAT U VOMITTED OUT HERE? GET UR ACTS TOGETHER AND REFOCUS UR BRAIN FOR BETTER USE,PLS.

There's a need to introduce the death penalty for crimes such as corruption, i think it'll bring back sanity to this country.

I smell lies
