Chief Edwin Clark, the Leader of Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) has called on President Bola Tinubu to remove Abia, Imo, and Ondo states from the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), through amendment of the 2000 Act establishing the commission.
This, he said was to remove Non-Niger Delta Oil Producing States of Abia, Imo and Ondo from the nine states that make up the NDDC.
The nine states are Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Imo, Abia, Cross River and Akwa Ibom.
The elder state man made the call at a news conference held in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to Clark, in the first instance, the inclusion of the three states in the commission was a political aberration.
He likened the NDDC to a liability company which also has majority shareholders and minority shareholders.
