The Presidency has denied reports that it has dissolved the Interim Management Committee of the Niger Delta Development Commission.

The House of Representatives is also currently probing alleged corruption in the NDDC.

But reacting to reports in some sections of the media that the IMC has been dissolved due to the calls by the legislature, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said there was nothing as such.

The Statement reads;

Please disregard a statement purportedly from me on the dissolution of the Interim Management Committee of NDDC. Merchants of fake news in action.

"The election is already on the table for PDP. We have a sellable candidate, who is Governor Godwin obaseki. Nigerians are moving forward with democracy and we have to deepen it together.

"Technically, Edo is a PDP state because in the last election of 2019, we actually won all the elections. So, it is not coming as a surprise that Governor Obaseki has to shift his ground from APC to join us.

"Now, we are putting all the forces together, and there is nothing that's left behind. So Edo is completely a PDP state and we are going in there to win the election," he said.

"For the South-South, it is a great challenge and honour to ensure that the six states in the zone belong to PDP. So, every support has been pledged by the leadership of the party; the governors, members of BOT, the national working committee. They are committed to ensuring that the flag of PDP will continue to fly in Government House," he said.

This is a design of Innoson Motors made by a Facebook user, Chris Esther. The amazing thing about this is that she made the design with her android phone.

One can only imagine what beautiful things she would create if she uses a laptop computer to create same design.

She posted it on her Facebook wall with this caption
