WE HEARTILY CONGRATULATE THE NEW BOARD AND MANAGEMENT TEAM OF THE NIGER-DELTA DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, WE ALSO COMMEND PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU FOR HIS GENUINE COMMITMENT AND SINCERE SENSE OF PARTNERSHIP TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NIGER DELTA
The leadership and the entire membership of the Niger-Delta Youth Vanguard For Justice and Equity heartily congratulate the new Board and Management of the Niger-Delta Development Commission under the able leadership of a seasoned, tested and consummate administrator, Barr. Chiedu Ebie.
Taking an indepth look at the arrays of the calibres of technocrats that made the team, we have no doubt that the fortunes of our long neglected region will in no distant time take a new turn that will usher in a far more pragmatic and result-oriented development in the entire region.
We also do very warmly express our most sincere gratitude to Mr. President for graciously and most timeously putting this team of seasoned and tested technocrats together.
Their integrity and credibility is unassailable from available records of service
This singular action of Mr President has clearly given credence to his sincere and genuine commitment as well as his avowed pledge of priority to fix things in a region that has for too long being in dire need of real development.
We wish to state that we are very much at home with Mr President and we are assuring him of the total support of the good people of Niger-Delta at all times
While looking forward to partnering the new team in promoting and pursuing the overall good of the region, we are very confident that the best of the Niger-Delta is around the corner with the painstaking appointment of the new team by Mr President.
As a body working for the greatest good of our region, we want to use this opportunity to frown very seriously at the petty and anti-people politics already going on in some quarters over these very credible appointments by Mr President.
We are aware of the very baseless allegations flying around, particularly the very recent unverified claims against the persons of our grand leader, His Excellency, Chief James Onanefe Ibori and the newly appointed chairman, Barr Chiedu Ebie from the stable of Saharareporters, an online news medium that has become very notorious as a breeding ground for falsehood and propaganda.
For the avoidance of doubt, Barr. Chiedu Ebie is not His Excellency, Chief James Onanefe Ibori’s inlaw. This can be fact-checked in putting the records straight.
And again, there is no single politician in Delta State that commands any form of relevance today that has no ties with His Excellency, Chief James Onanefe Ibori in one way or the other , as his effective political leadership cuts across party lines. Without contestation, His Excellency, Chief James Ibori remains the father of all in Delta politics nay the Niger Delta
There is no also denying the fact that Mr President enjoys a long-standing friendship and cordiality with His Excellency ,Chief James Onanefe Ibori; a relationship that has spanned decades and has blossomed and even waxed stronger over the years long before the ascension of Mr President to the nation’s seat of power.
From the foregoing, the story would therefore still not have been different if Mr President had exercised his discretion as it were, in appointing someone else other than Barr. Chiedu Ebie.
For the records, Barr. Chiedu Ebie has proven himself as a tested, result-oriented administrator with great knack for exceptional performance with whatever assignment that he is saddled with.
His stint as the Delta State Commissioner for Primary and Secondary Education and later Secretary to the Delta State Government bore eloquent testimonies to his proven capacity and administrative acumen as a thoroughbred technocrat who have all it takes to be considered worthy for this assignment or any other by Mr President without being prompted or pushed my anyone
The freshness and innovativeness Barr Chiedu Ebie brought into governance during his time as Honourable Commissioner and Secretary to State Government can not be wished away in a hurry no matter the level of infamy being peddled in the name of politics by those unprogressive elements whose only duty on earth is to find faults in everything
On His Excellency Chief James Ibori, we will advise that for the sake of the mental health of his traducers, they should by every means find a way to have some good sleep. The larger Niger Delta populace knew all that transpired and they understand the evil gimmicks of the enemies of the region.
It is quite pathetic that His Excellency, Chief James Ibori name must be brought into everything before it will be seen as authentic . It is almost getting to the point that even if their wives have miscarriages today, Chief James Ibori must be held responsible. Too bad!
For the information of those who would not let our ears rest like rampaging mosquitoes over anything Ibori, the Niger Delta people know the high-wired orchestrations and conspiracies against His Excellency, Chief James Ibori on account of his principled stand and belief in the Niger Delta course.
Chief James Ibori’s very strategic roles in the struggle for Resource Control which led to the abolition of the onshore/Offshore dichotomy and the implementation of the principle of 13 percent derivation with the attendant agitations for its increase to 50 percent at various fora including the last confab were clear testament of his very audacious stand against the inheritors who had all along believed that the wealth of the Niger Delta would remain in their firm grip and control in perpetuity.
In the ensuing onslaught, His Excellency, Chief DSP Alamieyesegha, Chief James Ibori’s compatriot was taken out after being subjected to a harrowing torment and most horrendous intimidation and humiliations.
Same fate was prized for Chief James Ibori but God was faithful to have kept him despite the high-wired conspiracies, persecution and deep betrayals.
It is therefore very maddening and a most senseless manipulation for anyone to continue to push the narratives about Chief James Ibori’s corruption saga when an overwhelming majority of the people of the Niger Delta has long seen through the satanic antics of their common enemies.
These anti-Niger-Delta gimmicks and fooling around must therefore stop now for the overall interest of peace and orderliness.
Once again, we congratulate the team members of the newly constituted Board and Management of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC on their very deserved appointments.
We also extend our very warm felicitations and congratulations to our very own, Rt. Hon. Mrs Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, on her well-deserved appointment as Chairman, House Committee on NDDC by Mr. Speaker. Having effectively functioned as the immediate past Chairman, Appropriation Committee of Delta State House of Assembly, we have no doubt about her capacity to deliver excellently in her new role.
God bless the Niger-Delta
God bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
