“The IMC being illegal is irrelevant and should be disbanded forthwith by Mr. President who should commence the process of inaugurating the substantive Board of NDDC to supervise the forensic audit of NDDC.”
According to NDRC Coordinator, Comrade Alalibo George, the tired and well-worn claim by the IMC is meant to divert attention from the illegal contraption which is not known to Law, NDDC Act of 2000 which set-up the Interventionist Agency.
According to Comrade Alalibo George, when President Buhari ordered on 17th October, 2019, that a Forensic Audit be carried out in NDDC, from 2000 to 2019, virtually all the leaders and people of Niger Delta region, applauded and supported him, following which he submitted the list of NDDC Governing Board to the Senate, which the Senate confirmed on November 5, 2019.
The illegal Interim Management Committee , alien to the NDDC Act, was hurriedly inaugurated and given a mandate to provide necessary documents for the Forensic Auditors to do their work, after which the IMC has completed its job. NDRC also frowns at the decision of the Presidency to extend the tenure of the illegal Interim Management Committee of the Niger Delta Development Commission because it shows the continued crass disregard for law and due process by the current administration.
