YENAGOA- THE Ijaw Political Frontiers ,IPF, has declared that it will resisits any attempt to run the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC, as a one man show, stressing that it would mobilise to ensure a substantive board is inaugurated.
According to the group the NDDC which is founded upon the blood, struggle and agitations of patriotic Niger Deltans is not and cannot be a one man show.
The Minister of Niger Delta, Senator Godswill Akpabio had recently stated that there would be no substantive board of the NDDC until the forensic auditors complete their assignment.
