Niger Delta Women Liberation Movement, a women group in the South-South geopolitical zone has accused the former Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Joy Nunieh, of being sponsored to frustrate the forensic audit of NDDC and blackmail the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio and others willing to reposition the commission.
Spokesperson of the Niger Delta Women Libration Movement and President-General of Akwa Ibom State Chapter, Obonganwan Uko, said Thursday, at a briefing in Abak Local Government Area, that the strategy was aimed at frustrating and sabotaging the forensic audit of NDDC.
She stated: “We have carefully followed the twists and the full-blown campaign of calumny launched against persons who are willing to work to reposition the NDDC and make it responsive to its cardinal objectives.
“The strategy is to frustrate and sabotage the forensic audit and make it an inconclusive exercise.
“We wish to bring to public limelight that the ex-Managing Director of the NDDC, Ms. Joy Nunieh is heavily sponsored to attack the Minister of the Niger Delta Affairs so that his ministry may backtrack from encouraging the forensic audit.
“While the rest of us are of the opinion that the forensic audit is a bold step towards cleansing the NDDC, we are however worried that the real enemies of the Niger Delta region are ganging up against this exercise.
“As women and mothers with conscience, we can say authoritatively say that NDDC was raped and abused by people in high places, including members of the National Assembly.”
