The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, has
reacted to the allegations made against him by Joy Nunieh, a former Acting
Managing Director of Interim Management Committee of the Niger Delta
Development Commission, NDDC.
Nunieh recently made some damning revelations about the
Minister and former Governor of Akwa Ibom State on his handling of the
Ministry.
Addressing the press after she appeared before Senate adhoc
Committee investigating NDDC, Mrs Nunieh recounted her ordeal at the hands of
the Minister before she was removed as the NDDC MD.
Among other claims, Mrs. Nunieh said, “Nobody makes any
payment in NDDC without Godswill Akpabio’s approval. When we first came, on the
day of the inauguration, he said to me in the car, ‘Madam MD, if you don’t do
what I say, the same pen with which I used to sign your paper is the same pen
I’ll use to remove you.
“He said the first thing I should do when I get to Port
Harcourt is to change the dollars in the NDDC account. I was scared to do that
and he claimed that I have a poverty mentality that I’m afraid of money. All of
you knew that he accused me of refusing to spend money. It is strange today,
it’s about money.
“After that, he came to Port Harcourt two days after the
inauguration and told me that the first thing I should do was to change the
dollars.”
But reacting in a television interview that has gone viral
on social media, Akpabio said the former NDDC MD has character problem.
The Minister also charged his interviewer to bring the four
husbands of Nunieh, whom she had alllegedly divorced, to the studio to attest
to her temperament.
According to him, “I don’t want to discuss her because
that’s not the job of a Minister.
“The last MD you mentioned, Joy Nunieh, I wish she can go to
hospital, see a doctor take some injections and relax.
“I’m not saying that there’s something wrong with her, but
I’m saying there’s something wrong with her temperament. Remember she had about
four other husbands that she married.
“You also need to bring all the other former husbands to the
studio so that you ask them questions one after the other because it looks like
character.
“They will have answers to her problem. Not a professional
conduct, is she a professional?
“They will tell you about her characters because what I’m
seeing here…if somebody comes up and say something on television channel…then
the whole world…Nigerians love bad news and my job is to protect the citizens
of the country and the administration of Mr. President .
“I must tell you that even Mr. President, President Buhari
was not aware of all these things because I did not want to bother because he
will be shocked.”
