My attention has been drawn to mischievous and misleading stories
surrounding the abandoned 600 metres road awarded by the Niger Delta
Development Commission (NDDC) at Nnung Ukim in Ikono Local Government
Area.
Ordinarily, the unfounded
and false report concocted by some propagandists, that, I had called for
probe of the Commission and her Contractors does not deserve to be
dignified with a response, but for the fact that, there is need to alert
the unsuspecting public on the antics of these agents of blackmail and
peddlers of falsity so as not to invest any modicum of credibility or
attention to their mendacious trade.
Therefore, I wish to set the records straight as follows:
1. That, there was no time that I called for a probe to uncover those behind the high rate of abandoned NDDC projects in the state, as that was not within my powers or job specification.
2. That, the audio and visual of my reaction to the abandoned 600 metres Nnung Ukim Road is available.
3 That, my checks reveal that after awarding the said job to an indegenous contractor, no dime was paid by the NDDC to the contracting firm, which must have necessitated its abandonment.
4 That, it is sad, absurd and laughable that the abandoned road was listed as being completed by the NDDC on some national dailies and roads done by the Akwa Ibom State Government were mentioned as being executed and completed by the Commission, a situation I described as being uncharitable.
5 Let it be clear to all, that, my remarks during the on the spot assessment of a section of Nnung Ukim road in Ikono, embarked upon by the Udom Emmanuel led administration, did not target against any member of the PDP family or leaders of our party as being speculated by those who don't mean well for our party, but was targeted on people who listed State Government financed roads as NDDC projects.
6 That, there is no iota of truth in the cock and bull stories of the propagandists as they are just innuendos, false information, malicious statement, ballant lies coming from the dungeon of hell of bitterness of political adversaries who are disturbed by the Udom Emmanuel administration's Superior Performance, less than two years of his administration.
