Amid the allegations of fraud and
corrupt practices rocking the Niger Delta Development Commission, the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, has called on Godswill Akapbio, Minister of Niger Delta
Affairs to step aside.
PDP said Akapbio should step
aside to submit himself for investigation over the allegations against him.
Recall that Nunieh had accused
Akpabio of corruption and sexual harassment.
Akpabio, however, fired back
saying the sacked NDDC MD has character problems.
However, PDP’s National Publicity
Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan urged the Presidency to react to the latest
allegation of corrupt practices rocking the NDDC.
Ologbondiyan said the Presidency
should take immediate steps to investigate the alleged fraud in NDDC.
A statement by Ologbondiyan said
those found guilty of fraud in NDDC should be prosecuted.
Ologbondiyan said: “The PDP holds
that any credible administration like the one the APC and the Buhari Presidency
would want Nigerians to believe as running, would have spoken out and commenced
an immediate investigation into the matter if its officials are not complicit.
“The PDP charges the Buhari
Presidency to speak out on the issue, particularly, given the delicate nature
of the Niger Delta, and take steps to investigate and prosecute all those
involved in the alleged
fraud.”
He also called on the Minister of
Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio to step aside due to the allegations against
him.
“The PDP therefore demands that
Senator Akpabio should step aside and submit himself for investigation over
these weighty allegations,” he added.
