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

It is 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

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

RE: ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HONOURABLE MINISTER GOD'SWILL AKPABIO - FACTS OF THE MATTER.
We are bewildered about this terrible image backslash and orchestrated grandstanding against the Honourable Minister for The Niger Delta, Chief God'swill Akpabio by Joy Nunie, former acting Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), and are compelled to state the following facts relative to these occurrences.

1. This is indeed a paradox and a calculated calumny to defame the person of the Honourable Minister in a power play quagmire intended to sap the goodwill and good intentions of God'swill Akpabio at the expense of greed and desire for the orchestrants to seek for relevance which they have long lost.

From our findings and even from what we already know, Akpabio can never and will never condescend too low as to possibly fiddle Joy Nunie either for sexual urge or gratification for political placement.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is pertinent to state here that over 30percent of the Minister's workforce are women even of repute ever since he came into political limelight, yet has he not witnessed a scandal of any sort whatsoever.
Why would Joy Nunie choose this part of destruction?

Couldn't he (Akpabio) have gone after Bobrisky in order to satisfy that urge instead?

For the avoidance of doubt, the Palliatives were widely and succesfully distributed to nooks and crannies with proofs of collection from recipients/beneficiaries.

SOME QUESTIONS
Why do many Niger Deltans love to destroy our own?

Why do we always love to pull down our best?

This was exactly what she intended to do with the man of David Ibiyeomie when she scandalously commented that the man of God was fake. It was the curse of the man of God that sieved her into the dustbin and she lost relevance before SHE ONLY WAS SACKED IN THE PREVIOUS BOARD.

The hammer that fell on her was proof that she has no honour for spiritually engraced offices nor respect for any constituted authority. May God help her.

2. We are actually in shock to hear Ms Nunieh Joy insinuate that Senator God'swill Akpabio compelled her to an oath of secrecy as proof of avowed loyalty which she said she resisted or refused on the ground of being a saint declining the offer of a sinner.

So what then happened to the records and books of NDDC that showed how in her 6months of stewardship, approved for herself and collected monies meant for treatment of LASSA FEVER patients which ran into several hundreds of millions of Naira and diverted same into her personal coffers.

With whom did she cut the secret covenant for this theft?

How come there were massive funds movement during her 6months stewardship yet genuine contractors reeled in persistent pain over Hugh interests accrued on their loans both from banks and black market lenders because they weren't paid?

Again the attempted arrest on her by a purported police command has really unearthed the fact that she lived a lavish lifestyle that was not consistent with the paraphernalia of her office as an MD.

How much is her monthly remuneration that she quickly moved into that highbrow palatial mansion?



We would love to really commend the Federal Government for your resolute fight against corruption but at the same time we would caution that you never allow sentiments to rule reason in a bid to getting this matter resolved.

Giving the dog a bad name in order to kill it can never light the darkness in the Niger Delta.

Let us all team up to explore the enormous potentials in the Niger Delta rather than breaking horns in a bull-fight and getting the bull-shit in shame, ignominy, cracks and divisions.

Long live Nigeria!
Long live Niger Delta!!

Obviously there are forces behind the scene working against the success of the ongoing Forensic Audit
Especially the national assembly and their cronies.
But we the people of Niger Delta are wiser
On forensic audit we stand
On IMC we stand

Certainly their fabrication of malicious propagandas against the IMC will not work
The audit must go on
