NDAGG Defends Dr. Okunbo Against Asari-Dokubo's Claims
The Niger Delta Ambassadors for Good Governance (NDAGG) issued a statement dismissing allegations made by former militant leader Alhaji Asari-Dokubo against Dr Osahon Okunbo, the Project Director of Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL). NDAGG described Asari-Dokubo's claims as mischievous and misleading, asserting that they were motivated by envy and personal gratification.
The controversy arose from a viral video in which Asari-Dokubo alleged that PINL and its directors, along with the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, receive N2.7 trillion annually from the federal government for oil pipeline surveillance. NDAGG emphasized that Okunbo is a Niger Deltan entitled to execute contracts throughout Nigeria, rejecting Asari-Dokubo's portrayal of him as an outsider.
The group expressed disappointment over Asari-Dokubo's statements and aimed to correct what they termed deliberate misinformation.
