An Abuja based lawyer, Myson Nejo, has petitioned President Bola Tinubu, demanding an immediate cancellation of the purported appointment of the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Niger Delta, Dr. Shuaib Belgore.
Nejo in the petition dated June 23, 2023, and titled:"sinister and unpatriotic actions at the Niger Delta Development Commission to subjugate the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on the dissolution of boards of federal government parastatals agencies, institutions and government-owned companies," also called for the investigation into the activities of the purported appointee.
"Commissions and parastatals take over the administration of the affected agencies pending the Constitution of a new board. By Section 2 of the NDDC Act, the Managing Director is a member of the NDDC Board which has now been dissolved by Mr. President. "In the overt manifestation of the conspiracy between Chief Samuel Ogbuku, the Managing Director, Charles B Ogunmola , and Major General Charles Airhiavber of the dissolved NDDC Board, they both, in clear and unrestrained insubordination to the authority of the President, illegally convened and held a meeting with the staff of the NDDC at NDDC Headquarters, Port-Harcourt, Rivers State where they presented themselves to the staff of NDDC as having been authorised by Mr.
"I am aware that as of the 22nd of June, 2023, the purported appointee has started holding meetings with administrative staff of the NDDC as though his appointment was valid and constitutional.
