ASABA—IJAW People’s Development Initiative, IPDI, a rights group in Delta State, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to invalidate the recent lopsided appoint-ments at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, and the rail line project to his home town, Daura.

The group, in a statement by its National President, Austin Ozobo, called on the National Assembly to prevail on the President to reverse the controversial appointments.

IPDI said: “It is inimical to peace and unity of the country for the North that does not produce oil to share to itself 10 top portfolios of NNPC, while Niger Delta that produces the oil gets two.

“The funds that will be used to finance the Kaduna-Daura Rail Line is from crude oil, but how can Daura be connected with railway when Niger Delta that produces the oil is yet to be considered for railway lines?”
