Elder statesman and leader of the Ijaw tribe, Chief Edwin Clark, says the Southsouth would resist the appointment of another interim administrator for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
He advised President Muhammadu Buhari to constitute a substantive Board without further delay as there is a limit to what an interim administrator can do.
Clark spoke when members of the Delta Central All Progressives Congress Leaders of Thought (DELCAT) visited him in Abuja.
“The yearning of the people of the Niger Delta is for the Federal Government to constitute a substantive board.
“Any other agitation, especially from some greedy and self-centered persons for Mr. President to appoint another Interim administrator will be resisted,” he said.
The elder statesman said that there were speculations that the government was in the process of appointing another interim administrator for the NDDC after Effiong Akwa.
Clark added: “If this is true, it will mean that it will be the fourth time an interim administrator will be appointed in total neglect of the act setting up the commission.
“This is an aberration. The people of the Niger Delta have been patient and understanding enough.
