Managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr Samuel Ogbuku has extolled the leadership qualities of the senate president, Godswill Akpabio, stating that his disposition as a leader has united the National Assembly across party lines and given the country a sense of stability.
Ogbuku said such patriotic spirit would spur developments across the geo – political zones and the country at large, assuring the NDDC under his watch with Akpabio on the saddle as the senate president, the Niger Delta region was on the verge of achieving the goal of sustainable peace and development.
The NDDC boss, who spoke in an interview over the weekend during the home-coming/reception organised by the people of Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District (Akwa Ibom North-West), in honour of Senator Akpabio, said he was proud and privileged to be the managing director of the interventionist agency at a time a worthy son of Niger Delta, was leading the National Assembly.
He said the senate president has given the NDDC the best of guidance and tutelage as there was nothing more the leadership of the commission could ask for, especially when Senator Akpabio was seated as a father to guide them.
While thanking the senate president on behalf of the board and management of the commission, for definitive support, Ogbuku told the people of Akwa Ibom State that the Niger Delta and the South-South region has the best representation with Akpabio.
He expressed his appreciation for all the good things the senate president had done for the region and Nigeria at large and thanked President Bola Tinubu, for the support he had given the 10th Senate, saying his leadership qualities had endeared him to the entire National Assembly and the country at large.
The NDDC chief executive officer said that “as a team player Senator Akpabio had been able to bring everybody together across party lines.”
He assured that the people of the South-South region were solidly behind the senate president and assured that the region would continue to show support to him throughout his tenure in the National Assembly.
