The Secretary, Oba Obafemi Ogbaro, the Odoka of Ogbaro kingdom, made the call on behalf of the group in a statement on Sunday.of the Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio and the Interim Management Committee led by the acting Managing Director, Prof. Daniel Pondei.
“We are not unaware of the activities of many of the redeployed directors of the commission and others inciting their paid lackeys to publish falsehoods about the minister and the new Interim Management Committee. “This is not only counterproductive, but it also portends an ill omen as it imposes on our people as the proverbial grass that always suffers where two elephants clash,” Ogbaro noted.
Ogbaro said, “We feel encouraged by the speedy payment of allowances to our sons and daughters studying in the diaspora after years of neglect; the ongoing verification of contractor claims; and expeditious commitment to move the commission to its permanent headquarters”
