They Don’t Want Light Restored Because Akpabio’s Girlfriend Supplies Diesel To NDDC — Ex-MD
The suspended Interim Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Joy Nunieh, has said the reason the headquarters of the intervention agency remains unconnected to the public power supply is allegedly because a girlfriend of the Minister for the Niger Delta, Godswill Akpabio, supplies the diesel for powering the generating sets.
The former MD levelled the allegation on a morning programme on Arise TV, anchored by Dr. Reuben Abati.
Nunieh, who had last week accused Akpabio of sundry financial infractions, said: “Akpabio’s girlfriend supplies diesel at the NDDC.
“I looked at the diesel situation and said why don’t we give the young Niger Delta boys to supply?
“Why can’t we divide it into nine states for them to supply?
“NDDC in the past paid for us to get light directly.
It was connected straight to the NDDC headquarters building.
“That was disconnected at the gate of NDDC.
“Millions was paid to get that light source to NDDC.
“To connect it from the gate, it was sabotaged.
“Just for it to go inside the building.
“I mean, look at the fraud in this country
“When I came, I say all these monies on diesel, I am not here to spend money.
“I am here to cut down.
“How do I tell Mr. President that I came to do forensic audit and I come in here to commit the same offence?
“I will not do it.
