Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has warned that no harm must befall the former Managing Director of the Niger-Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Joi Nunieh.
Governor Wike issued the warning in a statement by his Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim in Port Harcourt.
The state government said while it commends the ongoing probe in the NDDC, it will never support any action that will prevent or jeopardize the laudable intentions of President Muhammadu Buhari, to positively reposition the NDDC and fulfil the yearnings and aspirations of the people of the Niger Delta.
The Rivers State government called on those involved in the ongoing investigations in the NDDC to ensure that Joi Nunieh does not suffer any harm in the course of their undertakings.
The former NDDC boss, Joi Nunieh is embroiled in an altercation with the Minister of Niger-Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio with the former accusing the Minister of malfeasance, oath-taking and sexual harassment, allegations Akpabio have denied.
