Itse Sagay, Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Council
Against Corruption, PACAC, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to sack
Godswill Akpabio, Minister of Niger Delta Affairs.
Sagay alleged that Akpabio was neck deep in the issues
around the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC.
The National Assembly is currently investigating the Interim
Management Committee, IMC, of NDDC over alleged fraud and mismanagement of
funds.
During an investigative hearing by the House of
Representatives on Monday, Akpabio had accused members of the National Assembly
of being beneficiaries of most of the contracts from NDDC.
However, Sagay while appearing on Channels Television said
the President should also sack members of NDDC IMC.
He said: “If I were the President, if I were in his shoes,
and if I was to advise him, I would say dissolve this interim committee, remove
the Minister of the Niger Delta because he is neck-deep in it and bring in
fresh people, probably people who have been properly nominated and then
institute a very strict system of monitoring expenditure.”
Recall that Joy Nunieh, former Managing Director of NDDC had
accused Akpabio of padding, fraud and sexual harassment.
The Minister, however, denied all allegations Nunieh made
against him and ordered his lawyers to initiate legal proceedings against her.
