The leadership of the coalition of Niger Delta civil society groups has asked Bola Tinubu, president-elect, to retain and extend the tenure of Barry Ndiomu, interim administrator of the presidential
The groups which include the Niger Delta solidarity forum, Niger Delta progressive front and coalition of Niger Delta youth movement also demanded that Ndiomu be appointed substantive chairman or the president’s special adviser on amnesty programmes.Doso said the groups were advocating for Ndiomu given his scorecard and assured that he would achieve more in the interests of the people if given the opportunity.
“He shared in our people’s yearnings and aspirations and gave accelerated directives on the payment of outstanding entitlements of our people which some individuals deliberately withheld for reasons best known to them for more than three years.”Doso knocked those who attempted to sabotage the interim administrator’s leadership, saying they were disgruntled because Ndiomu blocked leakages which benefited them.
“One thing, however, that is being untold by these individuals sponsoring a series of protests to tarnish the image of our leader is how they were exposed for receiving multiple monthly payments via many bank accounts. General Ndiomu came on board to expose these frauds in order to allow qualified beneficiaries access to their entitlement.
