Press Statement
As Disaster As New Leadership
Takes Over
The chairman of the Rivers State
chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bro Felix Obuah is happy that the
misfortune of having Ibim Semenitari as the acting Managing Director of the
Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC is over.
Bro Obuah made the observation through
a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam
in reaction to the formal hand-over to the new NDDC Management, Monday, 7,
2016.
According to the State PDP chairman,
the management of the Niger Delta Development Commission under the former Gov.
Rotimi Amaechi’s Information Commissioner, Ibim Semenitari was the worst ever
and brought nothing to the people of Rivers State.
Bro Obuah regretted that rather than
improve on the legacies of the previous managing directors of the Commission,
Mrs Semenitari made politics the fulcrum of her administration and ran the
affairs of the Commission as an arm of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Bereft of the requisite managerial
skills and ignorant of the vision of the Commission, Mrs Semenitari thought the
best she could do was to politicize the place and has unfortunately left the
Commission worse than she met it, Bro Obuah noted, stressing that there is
nothing practically to show in the State that a Rivers indigene was there as
managing director for the period she held sway at the Commission.
The State PDP boss therefore wants the
new management of NDDC to tread with caution, scrutinize the hand-over notes of
Mrs. Semenitari and chart a new course for the Commission with a view to
pursuing the mandate and delivering the services for which the Commission was
established.
“We make no doubt that the end of Mrs.
Semenitari’s leadership of the great Commission marks the beginning of the
pursuit of the vision and mission for which the Commission was founded which
was distorted by Ibim Semenitari and substituted for APC vindictive agenda.
We thank God that era is gone and pray
the Commission will from now on, begin to be run and managed as a public
institution charged with intervention development programmes and not an
extension of APC,” Bro Obuah declared.
