Speaker to Akpabio: list Rep-contractors
The House of Representatives has declared a ‘war’ against Niger Delta Affairs Minister Godswill Akpabio.
While testifying before the House committee probing alleged financial recklessness in the NDDC, Akpabio said: “We have records to show that most of the contracts of NDDC are given to members of the National Assembly, but you don’t know about it.” The Speaker, who said he believed that the minister only came before the probe panel to play games and cause distraction for the House, insisted that the investigation must be concluded.
“I will give the minister between 24 and 48 hours to publish the names, contracts so awarded and the place. Unveil the company the contracts were given to, especially members of the 9th Assembly, failure which we will be forced to bring the full weight of the law. “I believe that the minister came to play games. The House cannot subject itself to blackmail. We cannot sit back and watch an agency of government throw allegations against the House.
