Ojougboh: 'They want to take the NDDC back to the Office of the SGF, which supervised it for about 15 years.” “I am 60 years old. If I don’t say the truth now, when will I say it? Be assured that I have not stolen and I will not steal.”
The Niger Delta Development Commission has faulted the recommendations by the National Assembly to return the commission to the supervision of the Presidency.
Ojougboh spoke when he paid a courtesy visit to the Asagba of Asaba, Obi Chike Edozien, at his palace, before heading to the Delta State Police Command, where the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu launched N450m COVID-19 equipment procured for the police by the commission.“They want to take the NDDC back to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, which supervised it for about 15 years,” Ojougboh said.
“I am 60 years old now. So if I don’t say the truth now, when will I say it? Your majesty, be assured that I have not stolen and I will not steal.” He emphasised that the intervention was necessary because it was important to assist the police force to protect its members from falling victim to the COVID-19 pandemic.
