The sole administrator Niger Delta Development Commission, Mr. Efiong Akwa said on Saturday that those who were pushing for the inauguration of a substantive board for the commission were sponsored to cause crisis in the region.
According to him, some elements outside the regions were hiding under agitations for the constitution of a substantive board of the NDDC to throw the region into crisis.
Akwa said these during the inauguration of the Progressives Patriots Initiative, a pressure group within the All Progressives Congress.
He said, ”I want to use this opportunity to thank God for Akwa Ibom State. Of course, you know that South-East was boiling because of IPOB; North-East also boiling; North Central has issues of border clashes and so on; South-West has issues of kidnapping even in Lagos.
