Three senators representing Ondo state at the red chamber of the national have admitted working against a nominee for the board of the Niger/Delta Development Commission, (NDDC).
The nominee, Charles Ogunmola was among those whose names were forwarded to the Senate for confirmation as a member of the NDDC board last month by President Mohammadu Buhari.
The three senators, are Ayo Akinyelure, Ondo central; Ajayi Borffice, North and Nicholas Tofowomo, south.
Chairman, Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions and Senator representing Ondo Central in the Legislative Chamber, Ayo Akinyelure gave reasons for the rejection of Mr Charles Ogunmola as NDDC Nominee from Ondo State.
Briefing the press in Abuja, shortly after the rejection of the NDDC nominee on Thursday, Akinyelure said Mr President must have been misinformed about the nomination of Ogunmola.
“Though Mr Charles Ogunmola is from Ondo State, but he is not from the oil producing area. That was why the three Senators from Ondo State unanimously rejected his nomination.”
Akinyelure urged President Muhammadu Buhari to kindly re forward another nominee to be screened on the Board of NDDC to represent Ondo State.
