An amalgamation of APC support groups in Delta state has decried the nomination of Chiedu Ebie as chairman of the board of Niger delta development Commission, describing it as shocking, annoying, appalling, revolting, abnormal, and politically suicidal for the Party in the state.
Comr Kelvin Omaviuweghre Ezekiel, national coordinator of Team Senator Oluremi for Tinubu 2023, disclosed this in a statement made available to quickresponse.
Kelvin noted that, Chiedu Ebie is a diehard PDP member, a known persecutor and ememy of APC members in Delta state.
The statement reads: Our dear party faithful, the attention of the APC support groups in the state has been drawn to a list circulating on social and electronic media purported to be a list of the newly constituted board and management of the Niger Delta Development Commission ( NDDC).
As a support group in the Niger Delta region, we want to commend our amiable President, H.E Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his prompt response to the yearnings and aspirations of our people who are desirous of a rapid response management team to address the infrastructural decay and sordid condition of the region.
We humbly submit and subject ourselves to the leadership, wisdom and political discernment of Mr President and we further concede that it is within Mr. President’s plenipotentiary powers to constitute boards of this monumental importance in due consultation with party leadership at the sub National levels which Mr. President has through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) duly gotten our inputs.
It is however shocking, annoying, appalling, revolting, abnormal, and politically suicidal for us in APC support groups, Delta State to see the name of Mr. Chiede Ebie, a diehard PDP member, a known persecutor of our party, an enemy of APC, to now surreptitiously find his name in the list of a Grade A (NDDC) Board which is meant to reward loyal members of our party who sacrificed their resources, energy and time to ensure the victory of our party and all our candidates including our amiable President will not only kill the enthusiasm of our members but it will torpedo our party
The support groups Delta State chapter in the strongest of terms rejects, disowns, and disassociates itself from the said list.
If this is an innocent mistake on the part of those saddled with the responsibility of constituting Federal Boards and Agencies, we humbly call on them to please correct this grievous error by removing, deleting and erasing the name of Mr. Chiede Ebie as Chairman of NDDC.
While the support groups patiently await Mr President and the National Chairman of the party to resolve the recently orchestrated injustice done to Delta.
We want to humbly appeal to Mr. President to put his sagacious mind and attention on some strange, obnoxious, pestilential and diabolical developments in Delta State being perpetuated by some persons who are out to create disaffection amongst party leadership and unnecessary political crisis in the only APC State in the south south region.
We also want to appeal to the President of the Senate, the Senate and House of Representatives Committees Chairmen and members of NDDC not to accept, entertain, clear or give any legal clearance to any list except the name of Chiede Ebie is removed from the list.
To our dear party members who are peeved by this unfortunate and grievous mistake, we want to humbly appeal to you to remain calm while the party takes every necessary step to ensure that the presidency makes amendments.
Once again, we thank Mr. President for his kind thoughts even as we pray that God continues to guide and protect him Amen.
Long Live FRN
Long Delta state
Long Live APC
Long live APC support groups
