The official, Joy Nunieh, said it was after her refusal to take an oath of secrecy that Mr Akpabio started plotting her removal.
Mr Godswill Akpabio, Ms Joy Nunieh at the VIP lounge of the Port Harcourt International Airport in January, Joy Nunieh, has accused the Minister of Niger Delta, Godswill Akpabio, of fraud.
“He told me to take an oath. Though he denied that, he told me three times. We had a reconciliation at the Villa in the office of Sarki Abba, the S.A. to the President on Domestics,” she said. “He said he was going to remove me and then he started the campaign of calumny against me…,” she said. “I refuse to go with him to the FEC meeting to deceive the president and the reason is because the law says if I contravene a section of the procurement Act, its five years imprisonment without an option of fine,” Mrs Nunieh said.Ms Nunieh also explained her position on the controversial contracts in the NDDC, denying that she never made any payment without Mr Akpabio’s knowledge.
“He said the first thing I should do, when I get to Port Harcourt, is to change dollars in NDDC account into Naira. I told him I am scared to do that. He claimed that I have a poverty mentality, that I was afraid of money. All of you knew he accused me of that, saying I am afraid to spend money. The NDDC management had said that the Senate investigation was instigated by people who want to scuttle the planned forensic audit of the commission.
