The Niger Delta Development Commission, (NDDC) has denied the reported rift between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Chief Nyesom Wike and the commission’s Managing Director, Dr Samuel Ogbuku.
The commission, in a statement by its Director, Corporate Affairs, Seledi Thomson-Wakama, described the online report titled: “Uproar in NDDC as Ogbuku, Wike fight dirty” as mischievous.
“Nothing can be farther from the truth. We are, therefore, constrained to respond to the false story claiming that ‘there is rumbling in the Commission following the jostle for the position of the Managing Director currently occupied by Dr Samuel Ogbuku’, the commission said.
The NDDC insisted that its Managing Director has a very cordial relationship not only with Wike, who it said is representing the region very well at the Federal Executive Council (FEC), but also with all the leaders and key stakeholders in Niger Delta region.
