The Niger Delta Development Commission has dismissed as baseless the allegations that it diverted N6.25bn approved by President Muhammadu Buhari as palliatives for the poor in the Niger Delta region.
Describing the claims of Jackrich as false Odili said it was orchestrated by the same forces waging a campaign of falsehood against the commission and its management since Buhari ordered a forensic audit of the operations of the NDDC. “Instead, they demanded that the palliatives meant for their states be given to them. In fact, one particular governor declined to give the permit to move the items during the COVID lockdown unless the commission directly deals with his government in the matter.
“As at today, none of the nine state governments has denied receiving its own share of the food items for distribution under the COVID-19 Palliatives programme.“The bulk of Mr. Jackrich’s petition dwelt on the refusal of the IMC to pay him a humongous amount of money for being Chairman of the Committee. This has led to this blackmail”.
