SCRUTINISE CONSTITUENCY PROJECTS NOW,AMB KINGSLEY TELLLS NASS.


A group of former Niger Delta agitators has thrown its support behind the ongoing probe of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) by the National Assembly.




The group in a statement signed  by the Chairman, Amnesty Phase II, Delta State Chapter, Amb Kingsley Muturu, stated that the probe is long overdue and urged the National Assembly to ignore ‘the drama by those called to give an account of their stewardship.

According to him, ‘all I want is for the National Assembly is to get to the root of the issues at stake. In the NDDC, there are no harmonised interests, rather varied interests of those who are only interested in lining their pockets to the detriment of the masses of the Niger Delta people.

Every appointee in the NDDC, unfortunately, represents a private interest. The only way forward is to remove those interests. Let whoever that is appointed the Managing Director of the NDDC or the Niger Delta minister be allowed a free hand to run the place so that the people would know whom to hold accountable when there is a problem.

As the Commission is presently constituted, it will be difficult to hold one individual responsible because whomever you see as the MD of the Commission is under immense pressure. We know these things because we are from there and we have our ears on the ground.

For instance, in my Bomadi local government, we have those who have been representing us in the Commission, yet you cannot see any good road, no portable water, no rural electrification and this lack of basic amenities has exacerbated the security situation not only in my local government area but also in the entire Niger Delta,’he  said.

The story of professor Charlse Dokubo could be likened to Amalanze the cat,that  great wrestler whose back never  touched the ground. Just as the nature of cats  that survive many battles,so is proffessor Charlse Dokubo.  Since the day he emerged as the Special Adviser to the president on the Amnesty pProgramme there are tens of thousands of petitions to remove him from office that he is incompetent and not be able to address the problems of the Niger Delta. He quickly made many friends who now turned foes, since he constantly refused to dance to their tune,he become life enemies  to greedy persons who thinks first of themselves before the people.  He became enemies  to people who wants to assume his office forcefully not minding the time frame giving to him in his appointment letter. Proffessor Charlse Dokubo has created a synergy between the  ex agitators and he has been  prompt in the  payment of stipends to both student beneficiaries...
