The underlying gravamen of the current crisis over the nomination of the NDDC board leadership is akin to the President nominating a citizen of Chad Republic as Grand Khadi of the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja) judiciary because he is fluent in Fulani language and a Nigeria- trained Islamic Scholar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was because of the failure of top government officials to appropriately advise a former President of Nigeria that made the country to lose a lawsuit in England which will cost Nigeria over 9 billion US Dollars. The NNDC crisis is avoidable if the two Ministers in the Niger Delta Ministry will put aside partisan and personal interests, and accordingly advise Mr. President on the correct position of the law.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also:\u00a0Keyamo: Man Who Attacked APC Supporter For Celebrating Buhari\u2019s Tribunal Victory Will Be Dealt With<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the two Ministers are unable to follow the path of patriotism and due process inappropriately advising Mr. President on this impending national tragedy, they should tender their letters of resignation because they have started failing to fit into Mr. President\u2019s next level agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no room for laxity and impunity in an era where corruption is tantamount failure to act on account of personal interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>              &#13;\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Festus Keyamo A group known as MidWest Progressive Forum (MPF), has asked the Minister for Niger Ministry and Minister of State for the Niger Delta Ministry, Senator Godswill Akpabio and Mr. Festus Keyamo (SAN) to resign immediately over their failure to advise President Muhammadu Buhari on the correct position of the law regarding the appointment [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":709221,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-709220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nigeria"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
