NDDC: Akpabio Reacts To Allegations By NDDC Ex-MD, Joy Nuneih; Says Her Four Former Husbands Can Attest To Her Character

By Akinwale Kasali

Minister for Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill  Akpabio, has taken his issues with former Acting Managing Director of the Interim Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Joy Nuneih, personal.

The ex-MD had made damning allegations against Akpabio, including diabolical oath-taking and corruption all of which have shocked Nigerians.

But defending himself of the allegations, Akpabio, during a television interview, went from the serious to the ridiculous, without addressing the issues raised against him by Nunieh.

First, he alleged that Nunieh, a lawyer, was not qualified to head the NDDC because she has no certificates, including the NYSC certificate.

Then, he descended to the gutter by telling Nigerians that she had been married four times, and divorced four times.

In a television interview that has gone viral on social media, Akpabio did not address the damning allegations,  but, said the former NDDC MD has a character problem.

The Minister  charged his interviewer to bring the four husbands of Nunieh, whom she had allegedly divorced, to the studio to attest to her temperament.

Said the Minister, “I don’t want to discuss her because that’s not the job of a Minister.

“The last MD you mentioned, Joy Nunieh, I wish she can go to hospital, see a doctor take some injections and relax.

“I’m not saying that there’s something wrong with her, but I’m saying there’s something wrong with her temperament.

“Remember she had about four other husbands that she married.

“You also need to bring all the other former husbands to the studio so that you ask them questions one after the other because it looks like character.

“They will have answers to her problem. Not a professional conduct, is she a professional?

“They will tell you about her character because what I’m seeing here…if somebody comes up and says something on television channel…then the whole world…Nigerians love bad news, and my job is to protect the citizens of the country and the administration of Mr. President .

“I must tell you that even Mr. President, President Buhari was not aware of all these things because I did not want to bother because he will be shocked”.
