Senator Godswill Akpabio, Minister of Niger Delta Affairs |
Fayose in a tweet, said the manner in which the humongous level of fraud as revealed by the National Assembly investigation panel, is being treated by President Muhammadu Buhari, shows clearly that Buhari's fight against corruption is nothing more than a means of persecuting 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."

Senate President Ahmad Lawan, had on Thursday, lamented that those appointed to manage the resources of the NDDC over the years, shamelessly turn the NDDC into an Automated Teller Machine (ATM), leaving the region poor and in a very difficult situation.
In a resolution passed by the House following its consideration and adoption of the recommendations of its “Ad hoc Committee on the investigation of the alleged financial recklessness in the NDDC,” called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Professor Kemebradikumo Pondei-led Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) over alleged financial recklessness.
