While we the lieutenants of IzanzanCamp is yet to believe the truism of Akpabio and IMC allegation of NDDC contracts against Sen. James Manager and Hon.

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.
