“As a group that supports the rapid and sustainable development of the Niger Delta region, we will not stand by and watch as some unscrupulous politicians toy with our destiny by conspiring to pull down the NDDC governing board that was appointed by President Bola Tinubu on August 29, 2023,” the statement read in part.
