Who Is Afraid of Ibim?

Mrs. Ibim 


A non government organization, Swift Youth Alliance has challenged the Rivers State PDP to publish the details of the N82m wasted on a three-hour dinner organized for Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka. The group said the target of the PDP is not Rotimi Amaechi but Mrs. Ibim who has been appointed acting Managing Director of the NDDC which the PDP sees as a big threat in winning Rivers State Governorship re-run election; pending the Supreme Court judgment.

Below is the full text of the organization”
  
Re: N82m Wasted On A Three-Hour Dinner Organized For Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, By Former Governor Rotimi Amaechi, Through The Ministry Of Information And Communication

The attention of Swift Youth Alliance has been drawn to the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, statement expressing grave concern over “monumental looting and misappropriation of public funds by officials of the Amaechi administration in the State”.

We know that this false allegation is targeted at discrediting the good image of Mrs. Ibim, the acting Managing Director of NDDC.

Similar false allegation was laid against Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi during his Ministerial screening.

We challenged the PDP to publish the full details of the so called “N82m wasted on a three-hour dinner organized for Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, by former Governor Rotimi Amaechi, through the Ministry of Information and Communication”.

On the call by the PDP to “caution against diverting the fund’s of the NDDC meant for the development of oil devastated communities in the region into funding the APC re-run Governorship Election in Bayelsa State, and re-run of some State and National Assembly elections of the All Progressives Congress, APC.” The PDP should know that Mrs. Ibim is not a dictator like Wike that spends money without approval of the House of Assembly. Mrs. Ibim will operate the account of the NDDC with transparency which she is well known for.

The call by the PDP on the “relevant authorities to be on alert and to check the flow of funds from the Commission thoroughly during the period she may be in charge” is uncalled for!

We understand that Mrs. Ibim is seen as a threat to the victory of the PDP in Rivers State and they will go all the length to discredit and blackmail her so as to not be confirmed by the Senate as the Managing Director of the NDDC.

Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi scaled through by silencing his enemies at the Senate; Mrs. Ibim enemies will also be silenced during her screening at the Senate.
