…faults the overbearing stand of the minister of the Niger Delta affairs…
The Movement for the Survival of the Ijaw ethnic nationality in an emergency meeting resolved that the newly constituted NDDC interim management committee as it negates the act establishing the interventionist agency.
This was said by the National Secretary, Amb. Winston Coterrel Amain who also frowns at the overbearing attitude of the arrogant Minister of Niger Delta Affair, Oblong Victor Akpabio.
The Niger Delta Youth activist asserts that there is no provision for an interim management committee but because Akpabio is playing the script of Gov. Henry Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State.
In his words “Akpabio has gone ahead to constitute an interim management committee with a plot to undermine the leadership of the opposition party, the APC in the Bayelsa State because of the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in the state.
MOSIEND further warns that NDDC should not be used for political settlement and rivalry.
The Peace ambassador also vowed that MOSIEND will not fold its hands to allow Gov. Seriake Dickson and Akpabio to use NDDC for their political gimmicks.
Furthermore, MOSIEND supports wholeheartedly, the plan by President, President Muhammad Buhari to carry out a Forensic Audit of the Niger Delta Development Commission.
However, MOSIEND insists that the interim management committee be disbanded with immediate effect and the newly screened Board Members be inaugurated for the interest of Peace and Stability in the oil rich region.
Moving forward, MOSIEND also calls on Bar. Oweilami Peretubo to stop making statements that will incite violence and crisis in the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC). He (Oweilami) should rather think of resolving the numerous issues that have be devilled council since he took over the mantle of leadership of the IYC.
Conclusively speaking, Amb. Amain unequivocally stated that MOSIEND will not relent in the advocation for the development oil rich Niger Delta region.
