Youths Support Audit Of NDDC, Disown Call For Akpabio’s Sack

The Ijaw youths have expressed support for the audit of Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, and disowned the call for the removal of the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabi.

, The group said the effort of Akpabio would sanitise the long decay in the commission and should not be frustrated.

The youths under the auspices of the Ijaw Youths Council, IYC, Worldwide, said they were not part of the agitation as it was detrimental to the development of the Niger Delta region.

The spokesperson of IYC,, Daniel Dasimaka, in a statement said the umbrella body of Ijaw youths was solidly behind Akpabio and had no reason to demand his removal.

He said, “The IYC is pleased with the moves Senator Akpabio has taken so far as Niger Delta Minister. We wholeheartedly welcome the call to audit the activities of the NDDC and to reposition the commission and other MDAs saddled with responsibilities to develop our region.

“We are all aware of the uncommon transformation that the minister brought to Akwa Ibom in his eight years as governor and desire to see him replicate same in the entire region.

“There is, therefore, no way the IYC or any development-seeking youths from our region would call for the sack of an agent of positive change like Sen Akpabio.

“The call for his sack is the handiwork of impostors who want to leverage the influence and credibility of the IYC to push their own agenda. And for the avoidance of doubt, Barrister Pereotubo Oweilaemi is the President of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC).”
