The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has called
on President Muhammadu Buhari to order the immediate publication of the list of
all members of the National Assembly, and any other Nigerian involved in the
contract scam at the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC.
The CNPP urged the Interim Management Committee, IMC, of the
NDDC “not to be cowed by the National Assembly, which has never been conclusive
in any probe.”
In a statement issued on Monday by its Secretary-General,
Chief Willy Ezugwu, the CNPP demanded the arrest and prosecution of those involved
in the contract scam.
He was reacting to media reports credited to the Executive
Director in charge of Projects at the NDDC, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, who alleged
that if the list of those involved in looting the commission is released the
country will break.
“The CNPP has been in series of consultations with critical
civil society stakeholders to take a position on the ongoing probe of the NDDC.
“However, it became imperative to call on President
Muhammadu Buhari to take seriously the allegation that some members of the
National Assembly are plotting to stall the forensic audit ordered by himself.
”It is cheering news to hear that the new NDDC Interim
Management Committee, IMC, has resolved to ensure the conclusion of the
forensic audit despite the alleged efforts of the National Assembly to muzzle
the IMC and frustrate the exercise.
“Having concluded the
first leg of the audit the nation awaits the second and final leg. But, before
then, we urge President Buhari to order the immediate publication of the list
of all members of the National Assembly, and any other Nigerian who are
involved in a contract scam at the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC.
“Until this is done to put an end to the ongoing cat and
mouse game between the National Assembly and the NDDC management, the world
will continue to laugh at the mention of the anti-corruption war in Nigeria”,
the CNPP stated.
