Group Calls For Suspension, Probe of NNPC Upstream Chief, Adokiye"},"content":{"rendered":"<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">A group, Niger Delta Liberation Movement (NDLM) is calling on the Presidency and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to suspend and investigate the Chief Operation Officer (COO) Upstream, in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), Mr Adokiye Tombomieye over allegations of abuse of office and economic sabotage of the Niger Delta Region.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a statement signed by the group\u2019s Executive Director and ex-agitator leader, (Gen) Oghenekaro Tony Edor, Adokiye was accused of \u201cfailure to observe the local content law which stipulates that a certain percentage of contracts and benefits be given to indigenous contractors.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the group, Adokiye has \u201cconverted the office from public status to a private entity wherein he gives contracts and licenses to cronies in sabotage of procurement proceedings.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">They also accused Adokiye of encouraging illegal oil bunkering activities as well as restiveness in the creeks to better his negotiation of taking over affairs of the NNPC.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cMr. Adokiye Tombomelye has reneged on his promise of ensuring even distribution of social welfare jobs to ex-agitators in the Niger Delta struggle for economic liberation.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cMeanwhile, Mr. Adokiye Tombomeiye and his accomplices have persisted in their corrupt and illegal activities to the point that he now uses monies and proceeds of contracts meant for citizens and Communities in the Niger Delta to sponsor himself, his family and cronies to United States and other European countries for the past few years, and still counting, whereas our Client and the Communities such monies and contracts were meant for are plunged into anguish and nothingness.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf the nefarious activities of Mr. Adokiye Tombomeiye are not brought to light and nipped in the bud, they will brew a catastrophic uprising in the Niger Delta capable of unsettling the peace and security presently enjoyed in the Niger Delta.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe as a group are very interested in the peaceful co-existent, security of lives and properties of the people of Nigeria, particularly in the Niger Delta Region.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The group also commended the Federal government anti-corruption poise and for clamping down and suspending the Accountant General of the Federation, Mr Idris Ahmed for wanton looting of public funds.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">They promised a continuous partnership with the government as well as Anticorruption and security agencies.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related
