South-South Elders Progressive Forum (SSEPF) has accused the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, of a ploy to mislead President Muhammadu Buhari in the constitution of a substantive board for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), asking him not to set the region on fire. INDEPENDENT reports.
The SSEPF, whose membership comprises elders cutting across states in the Niger Delta region, claimed that the AGF was creating confusion by misinterpreting to the presidency the clear provisions of section 12 (1) of the NDDC Act 2000 as it relates to the appointment of the agency’s managing director.

Section 12 (1) of the Act stipulates that: “There shall be for the commission, a Managing Director, and two Executive Directors who shall be indigenes of oil producing areas starting with the member states of the commission with the highest production quantum of oil and shall rotate amongst member states in the order of production”. jamb results
The SSEPF on Sunday expressed concern that while the unambiguous provisions of section 12 (1) had been duly adhered to in appointments into the commission’s board by previous administrations, Malami for inexplicable reasons was attempting to rob Peter to pay Paul by misleading President Buhari in his interpretation of the Act.
In the statement jointly signed by its Chairman, Dr. Promise Okpolo and Coordinator, Community Relations, Chief Anderson Etiewo, the South-South elders stated that while it was indisputably the turn of a nominee from Bayelsa State to occupy the position of managing director in a statutorily composed board, the AGF was allegedly plotting to manipulate the position in favour of Edo State.
While urging President Buhari to be wary of Malami’s alleged antics, the elders warned that such move if allowed to fly will set the Niger Delta region on fire.
