Alleged 50% NDDC Deductions: Akpabio Responds to Amaechi’s Claims
The Office of the President of the Senate has challenged former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, to provide evidence to support his allegation that Senate President Godswill Akpabio introduced a 50% deduction from payments to NDDC contractors.
In a recent development, the Office of the President of the Senate, led by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, has challenged former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, to provide evidence to support his allegation that Akpabio introduced a 50% deduction from payments to contractors of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
According to Daily Post Nigeria, Amaechi made these claims during a public event, where he accused Akpabio of embezzling funds meant for development projects in the Niger Delta region. However, the Akpabio’s office has refuted these allegations and has now challenged Amaechi to provide documentary evidence to substantiate his claims.
It remains unclear when or where this alleged event took place, and neither the NDDC nor the Federal Government have commented on the matter. This story matters to Nigerians as it involves allegations of corruption within a key government agency tasked with developing the Niger Delta region.
