WHY EFCC MUST IGNORE THE CALL FOR THE PROBE OF NEDC?

The recent outburst and lopsided press statement made by a faceless group calling for the investigations, and possible arrest of the management of the Northeast Development Commission was callous, unwarranted and short of facts.
 It goes on to explain the shortsighted and myopic thinking of some selfish individuals.
The reasons for such a frustrating press war against the reputation and hard-earned image of the headship of the commission are not far-fetched.
According to some intelligence submissions, the author of the one-man campaign disguising as a group once approached the commission for some contracts and kick over which the leadership failed to give and grant going by the high standards and procedures the commission follows before any project or penny is given to anyone no matter the influence or closeness. This turning down of the request from the blackmailer did not go down with him which culminated into his campaign of calumny and character assassination. For avoidance of doubt,the commission as a recognised government institution has set pace and standard for itself through living up to the expectations of the people of the northeast through execution of developmental projects from education to rebuilding of places destroyed by activities of insurgents,provision of logistics to the security agencies to fight insurgency,pipebor e water, community base projects and others too numerous to mention.
Therefore,the giant strides of the commission since inception cannot be sabotaged at this material time no matter what any selfish person thinks. The efcc and other anti graft agencies should ignore the petition and media attack against the image of the commission by this unpatriotic element whose plans are to bring down the commission which has failed on arrival.
The blackmailer must be reminded of the Niger Delta development commission whose antecedents made the good people of the northeast to also agitate for the creation of the NEDC which has been touching lives in different ways. The elites of the northeast,masses,political heavy weights and other stakeholders can attest to this facts. No amount of propaganda can distract the management of the commission.
