ABUJA—PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan has withdrawn the Ondo State representative on the Board of Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Mr. Benson Enikuomehin, for undisclosed reasons.
The President replaced the former nominee with Mr. Benson Adegbenro who is said to be the candidate of the state governor, Olusegun Mimiko.

Speaking after the screening and clearance of the second nominee, Chairman, Senate Committee on Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, James Manager, said the committee decided to clear the governor’s nominee for Ondo State on the board of the commission on merit after his clearance was delayed on technical ground.
Senator Manager explained that Adegbenro’s screening and clearance were delayed due to the controversy that greeted the first nominee, Mr. Benson Enikuomehin, for the position, which prompted his withdrawal by the President.
