The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has called out the Niger Delta Development Commission over abandoning its core mandate and disillusionment.
Wike said this on Wednesday in a series of tweet disclosing that those who fought for the establishment of NDDC have been left disappointed with the activities of the Commission since it’s establishment.
Wike blamed the National Assembly, the Presidency and the people of Niger Delta for the backwardness of the region.
Read the full tweet below;
On NDDC: The commission has abandoned its core mandate and leaving those who canvassed for its establishment disillusioned.
I don’t like talking about NDDC. It is unfortunate that those who fought for it if they knew that this is how NDDC will be, I don’t think that they would have even asked for it.
Over the years various National Assembly committees on NDDC have not provided sufficient direction that will make the commission focus on its core mandate of developing the region.
You, as the Senate Committee Chairman, and that of the House Committee, you’re from the region too. You are supervising NDDC, so why not sit down with them to know what are legacy projects that they want to carry out this year in the Niger Delta States.
The National Assembly is part of the problem of NDDC. The presidency is part of the problem of NDDC and the party in power is part of the problem of NDDC, whichever party it is. They don’t allow NDDC to perform.
We too in Niger Delta are not allowing them to perform. We are enemies to ourselves.
