NDDC wasting N10b in evil plot to unseat me - Governor Wike

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has been slammed with a very serious allegation by the Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike.

Wike has accused the management of the NDDC of wasting the massive sum of N10 billion in an evil bid to unseat him, Channels TV reports.

He alleged: “What NDDC does through the supervision of their party is to make sure they vote out some money to ensure certain governors do not return.

“You can imagine NDDC wasting ten billion to remove me here, is the money not wasted now? NDDC wasted ten billion naira to remove just one governor."

Speaking with the Senate Committee on Niger Delta in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, February 24, the governor maintained that the commission has been taken over by politicians who want to achieve only their selfish agenda.

The fiery and outspoken governor added that the NDDC is underperforming because it has placed politics ahead of service to the people of the region.

Even more, he stated that interference from the presidency and the National Assembly is partly the reason for the commission's poor performance.
