It is unacceptable to use the money of the Niger Delta to develop other regions with the South-South states excluded .
The South-South, the only region where all the States are oil producing states with highest deposit of oil, yet it is the only region not considered for the creation of any “Development Commission”
The argument that South-South states are benefitting from NDDC is another hoax orchestrated to rip off the region .
We have the South East Development Commission that will cater for Abia and Imo States. Yet the the two states are still under NDDC.
We have the South West Development Commission that includes Ondo State yet Ondo is in NDDC.
At this point, We need a South South Development Commission different from NDDC in the spirit of equity and fairness.
Again, the South South states , South East states ( Abia state, Imo states) and South West ( Ondo state) all have equal stake in the NDDC, therefore whatever qualify Abia and Imo states to benefit from the South East Development Commission, gives Ondo state in South West to benefit from the South West Development Commission, also qualify all the South South states to benefit from the creation of South South Development Commission
I find it difficult to accept the delay, exclusion and denial of the South South Development Commission or are we now a conquered people feeding other regions and getting impoverished.?
