NDDC: Buhari has good motives for Niger Delta – Leaders

Delegates and leaders from the Niger Delta region yesterday said that anyone who thought President Muhammadu Buhari could abandon the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) forensic report was living in cloud-cuckoo land. The leaders also described President Buhari as having the right motives. At a meeting, organised to discuss the problems and issues in the region, the leaders expressed gratitude to the President for his un- tiring efforts and the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio to transform the region. Specifically, the leaders applauded Akpabio for his persuasiveness, extraordinary commitment to transparency and contributions to the rapid development of the oil-rich region.

The leaders, however, underscored Akpabio’s vision for a peaceful and prosperous Niger Delta region. In the meeting held under the aegis of the United Niger Delta Democratic Front (UNDDF), the leaders applauded Akpabio for his persistence and track record of success.

They also hailed the President of the Niger Delta Ethnic Nationalities Youth Forum, Mr. Terry Obieh for his consistent and constructive engagements with stakeholders to address developmental challenges in the region. The leaders also expressed displeasure over the diversionary actions recently used by the President of the Niger Delta Elders Forum, Chief Tonye Ogbogbula, adding that “the verbal attacks against Preaident Buhari and Akpabio by Tonye Ogbogbula should be supplemented with encouragement and gratitude.”
