NDDC: Sack Akpabio, Pondei immediately, Fayose tells Buhari

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio..

Fayose also appealed to President Buhari to take necessary steps to end the corruption in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) by removing Prof. Kemebradikumo Pondei, the acting Managing Director of the NDDC.

Fayose gave the advice in a tweet via his official Twitter handle on Friday.

He wrote: “With this level of fraud exposed in NDDC, Buhari must sack Akpabio now. The President can’t continue to treat looting of public treasury as a family affair and his fight against corruption as an instrument of persecution against opposition figures.

“By keeping in his govt the likes of Akpabio and the NDDC MD, Prof Pondei, who went about celebrating the success of their National Assembly drama with hot pepper soup and assorted drinks, the President will only be reinforcing the conclusion that he supports corruption.”
