NDDC Scam: 12 Billion Naira Bridge Constructed By Akpabio Collapse In Bayelsa by SecretGun: 8:56pm On Jul 20, 2020
NDDC:

AKPABIO THE LIER.

The Reconstruction Of Elebele Bridge.

This is the bridge Senator Akpabio told the House committee it has been constructed for N12Billion..

This collapsed metal bridge was constructed by Shell to enable them access their oil wells located in a town called a Elebele in Ogbia LGA area of Bayelsa State..

When Bayelsa was created in 1996 and a road linking Opolo in the city of Yenagoa to Elebele was constructed then this bridge become the link bridge connecting those traveling from Yenagoa to Ogbia City, Nembe LGA and those headinf to Brass LGA via Elebele town where this bridge is situated..(The alternative route is Edepie-Imiringi road).

The wooden bridge was constructed by Ogbia LGA to help the indigenes access either side of the town.

The House of Reps member representing this bridge is a member of the House committee probing the NDDC. The member should as a matter of public importance and interest inform the committee that Akpabio and the professor did not construct any bridge..even though the member was silent while Akpabio was telling this lie over a project he is representing.. Let him do the needful by officially petitioning the committee that Akpabio was lying.. This will help calm nerves that are already getting stiff over this lies.

Imiringi my city shares boarder with Elebele town so I know all about it and I can say wihout blinking my eyes that Akpabio is lying...and God will not forgive him, the prof and those supporting that we should not talk becuase Northerners don't talk with their sons and daughters loot.

My call:

I want to call on the 3 House of Assembly members from OGBIA to call for joint press conference over this lie.

I want to also call on the House of Reps Member representing Brass-Nembe Federal constituency to also call for a press conference to debunk this lie since his constituency is a beneficiary of this bridge..

I want to call on the Senator repsenring Bayelsa East where this bridege is situated to also call for a press conference debunking this lie.

I want to call on the Ogbia Local government Chairman to call for a press conference to debunk this lie.

I want to on the Ogbia Brotherhood Worldwide to call for a press conference and debunk this lie.

I want to call on the Ogbia Brotherhood Youth Council to call for a press conference and debunk this lie.

I want to call on the Ogbia Brotherhood Worldwide Women Wing to call for a press conference to Debunk this lie.

I want to call on the Obhan Emeyal Clan Youth Council to call for press conference and debunk this lie...Fortunately the president of this Council is from Elebele town.

Let all the above authority send in petition to the House Reps over this.

As people we must act now..

Imiringi callalpse Bridege since 2012 is still under construction.

Thanks.

Rev Ranami Afagha
Imiringi city bordering Elebele Town.

You mean Shell oil company, a multinational oil company is a politician?

No, apart from the fact that you don't know how to read and comprehend, you have a 1-month-old baby sense of reasoning and logic.

Why are lazy Nigerian youths so obsessed with lies, fake news, fraud and deceptions? You people are even worse than the corrupt politicians you talk about all the time, you are all the same, crooks and liars.

In fact, was Akpabio the governor or senator from Bayelsa? No

Was he even the NDDC boss when the bridge was built? No

So, what's the bridge in Bayelsa built by Shell a long time ago got to do with Akpabio.?

It was also gathered that the bridge was constructed in 1986 by Shell Petroleum Development Company to gain access to its oilfields in the area. (NAN)

Yes, shell built that crap, in fact, it was built back in 1986, 34 years ago.

*NIGER DELTA PATRIOTIC FRONT. (NDPF) PASSES VOTE OF CONFIDENCE ON THE INTERIM MANAGEMENT COMMITTE*
July 21st 2020

By: Chulex James Enomate


Iis no longer news that Mr President has ordered a thorough forensic audit of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), a federal government interventionist agency which has been in existence since 2000 with the sole purpose of ameliorating the yearnings and suffering of the people of the Niger Delta region who happens to be the goose that lays the golden egg with absolutely nothing to show for it, it is a region riddled with under-development , infrastructural decay, lack of basic amenities like potable water, good road networks, adequate health care facilities just to say the least. It is a region where poverty is so perversive despite being in the midst of plenty.

So with the establishment of the NDDC by the Olusegun Obasanjo administration in 2000 the joy of the people knew no bound, it was seen as the agency that will ensure their yearnings and aspirations will be met. But sadly 20 years after the reality on ground is the very opposite of the expectations of the people, the agency which obviously has become the cash-cow of a very minute few at the detriment of the populace, overtime the NDDC has become a place where our selfish politicians try to outweigh each other in the looting of funds, since 2001 NDDC has received nothing less than 15 Trillion Naira with absolutely nothing to show for it.

In Akwa Ibom state alone over 321 abandoned projects by NDDC is littered everywhere, in these Rural Roads top the chart with 121 abandoned roads , while there are 75 uncompleted class room blocks, 69 rural water schemes and 43 mini-electric projects all left unattended.
The story is no different in what is obtainable Abia, Delta, Ondo, Bayelsa, Cross River and all other states comprising the Niger Delta. Depsite the Trillions of Naira that has been released to the agency the people still wallow in abject poverty and penury.

Sadly the National Assembly which is saddled with the oversight function over the agency has not only being a part and parcel of this huge corruption they have being the very clog in the wheel of progress of the agency. Overtime the Senate and House of Representatives Committee of the agency has made themselves a major shareholder in awarding of fraudulent contracts, falsification of non-existing documents to siphon money, outright disappearance of funds etc, Senator James Manager and Senator Peter Nwaoboshi who have chaired this committe at the upper chambers has a case to answer, their counterpart at the lower Chambers Hon. Olubuni Tunji-Ojo is not left out in this unholy act.
For Instance Senator Peter Nwaoboshi awarded himself a contract to supply Plastic Chairs at the rate of 3.7 Billion Naira, which when traced was discovered that the very company that was awarded the contract was thesame location the chairs were supplied in Asaba the Delta state capital, this is just one of the numerous atrocities they have been carrying out.

Hence Mr President gave a matching order for a thorough forensic audit of the commission from inception till date. But these elements has formed a behemoth in the wheel of progress trying to thwart the ongoing audit by discrediting the IMC which is saddled with the responsibility of ensuring the audit is a success, they have resulted to mischievous and malicious propagandas and allegations in a bid to sway the minds of the people, but they will fail, because there is this saying that you can fool the people sometimes but you cannot fool the people every time, we the Niger Delta Patriotic Front (NDPF) know their gimmicks.

It is worthy to note that the insistence by the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, God'swill Akpabio on the Forensic Audit is basically the vector that has pitched the IMC against the National Assembly, some lawmakers have been using their cronies to attack the Commission's Management and impede it's administration. To this end they have asked the IMC to part with some billions for them to share, a request the Commission refused to grant hence this face of.
Presently the raging war of words between Akpabio and the former managing Director of the NDDC, Miss Joi Nunieh is part of the game of confusion carefully crafted by the forces behind the scene. Akpabio has said the forensic audit must go on as planned to fulfill the desire of President Buhari in repositioning the Niger Delta Region.

Meanwhile the South South Governors Forum has also declared it's support for the Forensic Audit as ordered by the president.
To this end we the people of Niger Delta Patriotic Front are saying we are solidly behind the IMC in this quest and we are passing a vote of confidence in the Interim Management Committe of the commission.

Long Live Nigeria
Long Live the Niger Delta

Just

You are too dull to rule anything.
firstly this is a petition written by a Bayelsan who comes from the community and has nothing to do Igbos or IPOB.
thé bridge in question was built several years ago by shell.there are several bridges like that in the Nigeria Delta.
that bridge collapsed under a heavy truck last year and the local government constructed the wooden bridge as seen in the last picture.
Now during the ongoing probe,Akpabio and co are saying that have spent 12 billion on re constructing this same bridge.
so it's possible that money have been allotted for the project but there is nothing on ground to suggest that work has been done.
so stop making a fool of yourself because you want to defend Akpabio who doesn't know of your existence.
