Wike frustrating NDDC in Rivers, instigates sealing of premises – Nabena vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has been accused of frustrating the developmental efforts of the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC, especially with the recent sealing of the NDDC corporate headquarters in the state capital, Port Harcourt.Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Yekini Nabena told journalists Thursday in Abuja that the move was a partisan attempt at portraying the federal government as unperturbed by the numerous challenges afflicting the state.
Chairman of RIRS, Adoage Norteh, said the NDDC premises were sealed off because the commission refused to make its financial records available for audit. Reacting to the development, Nabena, said Gov. Wike was hiding behind the state revenue agency to witch-hunt the NDDC management. “It is disheartening that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has chosen to sabotage the activities of the Niger Delta Development Commission all in his bid to score political points against the President Muhammadu Buhari government. Wike should know by now that an attack on NDDC’s operations is an attack on the South-south and other oil producing states which the commission was established to develop.
