Reactions have trailed the names of federal lawmakers who allegedly got contracts from the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, sent by the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio to the National Assembly.

Recall that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, last week issued Akpabio 48-hour ultimatum to publish the names of lawmakers who were awarded NDDC contracts after the Minister had said that most of the NDDC contracts were awarded to lawmakers.

In a document sent to the National Assembly, names of federal lawmakers and non-lawmakers who were awarded NDDC contracts were named with the assigned projects.

The development has generated reactions on the microblogging platform, Twitter.

Some Nigerians criticized the composition of the National Assembly panel probing the NDDC corruption scandal, as it included lawmakers who are benefiting from the commission’s contracts.

GWG gathered the following tweets:

Apparently Akpabio has released the name of the members of the National Assembly involved in corruption and contract grabbing at the NDDC.

Top of the list are is Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, chairman of the committee that put together the report with which NDDC is being investigated

It's hilarious, apparently the supposed letter of Apology from Akpabio included a a list detailing the names and NDDC jobs given to the lawmakers. They didn't read that/include that.

Mr Speaker was confident at it because he hasn't collected any contract. He has thus forced Akpabio to expose his colleagues. Speaker Gbajabiamilia has now become an accomplice in the NDDC corruption scandal.

Akpabio's escape now perfectly executed. https://t.co/rKf9FjYSXX
