State chairmen of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) on Friday described the decision of the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, to set up an Interim Management Committee for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), despite the appointment of a substantive board by the President Muhammadu Buhari as a national embarrassment and asked the President to sack him without delay.

The APC chairmen in a statement issued by their chairman and Secretary, Ali Bukar Dolari and Ben Nwoye, respectively, said: “We see the minister as a clog in the wheel of progress. He has a vested interest to annex the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) as a unit of the Niger Delta Ministry where he is the minister.

“We query the rationale behind Akpabio’s hastened moves to impose an illegal Interim Management Committee in breach of the NDDC act.

“What does Akpabio intend to achieve by hurriedly appointing the committee whereas, Akpabio is aware of President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of a substantive board who are currently undergoing confirmation screening by the Senate?

“We view a situation where a minister exhibits crass insubordination to the office and person of the President, who appointed him as a minister, as a national embarrassment.

“We are irked by the conflicting orders one exercised by the President and Commander in Chief who effectively discharged his powers in accordance with the provisions of section 2(2)(a) of the Niger Delta Development Commission,(NDDC) ( Establishment) Act, 2000 by appointing eminent Nigerians into the governing board of the NDDC as read by the President of Senate, Dr. Ahmad Lawan in plenary only for Godswill Akpabio to appear on a national television in the evening of same day to announce a three-man committee to run the affairs of the NDDC which President Buhari has earlier appointed qualified Nigerians to oversee via his executive communication to the Senate seeking for confirmation of the nominees.

“We call on the President to sack Senator Godswill Akpabio without delay before he causes more embarrassment to this government and malign his hard-earned reputation with his uncommon illegalities.

“We call on President Buhari to reverse the order delegating his statutory regulatory powers of the NDDC to the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs. The minister’s conducts so far show that the NDDC under the supervision of the ministry will be counter-productive as such, the supervision of the NDDC should be returned back to the Presidency as it was before now.

“We call on the leadership of the National Assembly to exercise its constitutional powers to correct the lawlessness of the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs and ensure the immediate inauguration of the board upon confirmation by the Senate so as to curb the arbitrariness of a power-drunk uncommon minister and uphold the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

No thanks to his role model that enthroned him to act more corruptly.

Na dem sabi.
All I know is NDDC is the biggest scam in Nigeria after PDP.

Whatever they say,
All we are after is a good and better Nigeria for us all.

We stand with our darling President Muhammadu Buhari on any decision he decides to take on this issue.

We believe he will always make a good decision for the Niger Deltans and for the nation at large.

God bless our darling Daddy , President Muhammadu Buhari.
God bless Nigeria.

Bizibi:
osibanjo will soon take over your daddy.

efore nko?!
Na your Atiku daddy wan take over before?

Is Buhari back in Nigeria or he has traveled again? Something keeps telling me he will go on a minimum of 3 more trips before the end of the year

Confusion in the camp of the enemy. I advice they channel their plea to mamman Daura

Bubu has no time for the country let alone having time for useless APC fools. Bubu don't care about you lot after all he ain't contesting again

Spits

Apc dog eat dog party

sack him

Village people still following Akpabio up and down

Dog eating dog.This is the hallmark of the coven of professional scammers and fraudsters.

I support the call for his sack.

These things ain't our problems. Nigeria should better think of how to progress and invent stuff. The internet most Nigerians are trolling on, was created by persons in enabling environment...we just need to progress n go beyond blame game, propaganda or politics

NDDC is a conduit pipe, recalled how my then neighbour Imabong Johnson suddenly became a billionaire just after he was appointed as one of its directors back in 2011.

Akpabio knows all about these, that's why he's trying to sanitize the system.

There is no way Akpabio should have inaugurated a new NDDC Board without the approval of Bubu.

hmmm

How can a human being sell their soul to a person like Buhari . Calling him darling and daddy , men you are really crazy .

can a bot decide? we know you will always stand

I wish I could confront these ethnic chauvinists who are been paid to smear the Minister. They want the status quo to remain so they can benefit from the sleaze going on in the most corrupt and inefficient intervention agency in
the world.

The man is yet to reformat his PDP brain setting,it will take time for him to adjust to his new party rules

These scammers are been paid to do their dirty jobs so they can continue their sleaze of the most inefficient and corrupt intervention agency in the world.
That APC is the head of the Government at the centre doesn't mean State Chairmen should issue directives. APC Chairmen my foot.
