The APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Mr Yekini Nabena, has advised party members to respect President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of Mr Bernard Okumagba as the new Managing Director-designate of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

Nabena’s advice came after a group in Delta State picked holes in Okumagba’s appointment over his alleged non-membership of the APC and being Urhobo.

The APC chieftain and official, who spoke with journalists, yesterday in Abuja, said some aggrieved persons within the party were responsible for the campaign of calumny against President Buhari’s choice of Okumagba as NDDC boss.

“From checks, the faceless group is being sponsored by a few thoughtless and greedy power seekers within and outside the APC fold in Delta State. The sponsors are attempting to portray members and leaders of the APC in the state as irresponsible, which is not true,” he said.

Okumagba’s appointment was well-received and deeply-appreciated in Delta State and the entire South South.
