TRACKING____President Muhammadu Buhari has been advised to suspend the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio, following strong allegations of fraud against him in the corruption saga rocking the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in a statement on Friday signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan called on the President to disband the “corruption-ridden Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the NDDC”.
“The PDP says with the unearthing of rampant corruption, treasury looting, recklessness and manifest public unruliness of the NDDC management, the Minister and the IMC have become a huge embarrassment not only to the Buhari administration but also to the Niger Delta region and the nation at large.
“The party insists that though President Buhari has ordered a ‘speedy and coordinated investigation’ of the activities of the NDDC management, such an important probe cannot yield any credible result as long as Senator Akpabio and indicted IMC are still in charge in the commission,” the party said.
