The leaders selected for attack those canvassing for the suspension of allocation to the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

 

 ‘’What is happening in the South-South geo-political zone mirrors a situation of desperation of PDP chieftains to take advantage of falsehood to misguide President Muhammadu Buhari and the good people of the Niger Delta region as well as score cheap political goals’’

 

‘’Sixteen years of wasted opportunities are enough’’ the statement added.
