Tompolo Gives 7-Days Ultimatum To Buhari, Akpabio To Constitue NDDC Board

Ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, has thrown his weight behind the series of agitations brewing in the Niger Delta region over failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to constitute a substantive board of the NDDC.
Tompolo, through a statement on Sunday issued the Federal Government a seven-day ultimatum to constitute the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
He said in the statement that he would no longer watch the Niger Delta region being deprived of its right under the guise of a forensic audit that has been used by the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio to strangle the commission.
According to him, the delay in setting up a substantive board for the NDDC was a grand conspiracy against the Niger Delta by persons from the Presidency, National Assembly as well as the Security Agencies.
The ex-militant leader, equally said that the failure of the presidency to inaugurate a substantive board was “an act of corruption as the people of the region have lost so much resources in the process of the so called forensic audit” ordered by President Buhari in 2019.
He warned that an unimaginable thing, greater than the mass protest by Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) may happen in the coming days in the Niger Delta region if the presidency fails to constitute the NDDC board within seven days.
