NDDC had given the lawmaker a two-week ultimatum to refund N2.5 billion paid to companies allegedly linked to him for contracts not executed
Delta senator, Peter Nwaoboshi, has described the Interim Management Committee of the Niger Delta Development Commission as a bunch of confused men without vision or direction.
The commission in a letter signed by the Director, Legal Services, Peter Okoro, demanded a refund of N2.5 billion from Mr Nwaoboshi, being the amount the agency said it paid for contracts to companies allegedly linked to him. He said he was yet to receive the letter in which NDDC demanded the refund from him but noted: “nowhere in the contents of the purported letter was it stated that the contractor is directly linked” to him. He said neither was it stated that the warehouse, where the plastic chairs were domiciled, belongs to him.
“However, if the IMC of NDDC feel they truly have a genuine case against Senator Peter Nwaoboshi as contained in the purported letter, we are challenging them to go to the law court or make use of every legal procedure available to them,” part of the letter read.Officials of the NDDC had accused him of hijacking contracts and budgets of the commission.
