The former acting Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr. Gbene Joy Nunieh, was berated on Monday over allegation that the Minister of Niger Delta, Godswill Akpabio, sacked her for refusing to take oath of secrecy.
The South South Buhari Anti-Corruption Group, while reacting to Nunieh’s allegation, said she was the architect of her own misfortune.
The group, in a statement by its President, Imafidon Peter Odion, said that the ex-acting MD’s sacked was from the Presidency, following some findings against her.
It would be recalled that Dr. Nunieh, who described Akpabio as a pathological liar in an interview, had alleged that the minister of Niger Delta Ministry wanted to compel her to swear to an oath of secrecy and loyalty.
Reacting to the development, Odion told Nunieh that her removal had nothing to do with Akpabio.
According to him, the minister did not influence your sack.
Recall that Akpabio had said that Nunieh was sacked because she did not perform up to expectation by paying unverified contracts money running to billions of naira.
The group leader said that the former MD should desist from baseless allegation “because findings showed that there were so many inconsistency and misappropriation in the activities of NDDC when she acted as managing director.”
He said that it was unfortunate that Nunieh “would pour venom on the minister, when in actual sense, she was the architect of her misfortune.
“There are so many inconsistencies and misappropriations in the activities of NDDC when Nunieh was the acting Managing Director.
“So much money couldn’t be accounted for. She should not accused the minister for her misfortune because her activities are known to the Presidency, which gave directive for her sacked.”
