Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Mr Benjamin Kalu, tells LEKE BAIYEWU about the investigation of the Niger Delta Development Commission and what the parliament wants the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , to do with the Interim Management Committee of the commissionNothing inspired it except that there were accusations from the public, from the people from the region.
Honestly, as I have always said, this is not a show business. If you allowed me, I would have preferred a private investigation of this until we get to the root of this. The way it is being celebrated, it is now looking like showbiz for the country…like a reality show. As for me, I’m not too happy with it. I don’t think I like that element of the entire thing. If you want to find out what is going on, it should be done quietly.
I agree with Mr Speaker that it was diversionary. I said so because, to be honest, what we are pursuing is what happened between January and July . We have not even gone to the other years. We are investigating N81.5bn between January and now. This 9th Assembly falls between January and now. The motion that was moved was for January and now.
The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , nominated a board for the NDDC and the Senate confirmed the appointments but the IMC nominated by Akpabio is now in charge. Do you think the President might have been misled on the management of the commission?
