Is Niger Delta still part of Nigeria?
e of youth restiveness in the oil and gas rich area of the country as some lawmakers with obvious insidious interest have continued to challenge the authority of the president on the all-inclusive probe of the commission which has been wobbling, 20 years after its creation.
It is worrisome that in spite of the fact that the National Assembly is led by the ruling party, APC, yet, the synergy expected between the executive and the legislature is far from being the case as it concerns the Niger Delta region. The desperation to have Akpabio removed and the Pondei-led IMC sacked is purely an effort to ensure that Buhari leaves no legacies in the Niger Delta region. The cry over the mismanagement of funds at the NDDC has been on, over time and this was enunciated by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, sometime in 2019 at Delta State.
More worrisome is the involvement of high profile and principal officers at the National Assembly in this distracting dance that one begins to wonder if truly they mean well for the region. The 2020 Budget which has since been submitted in 2019 is yet to be attended to.
