DrPhillip Ofume RESPONDING TO THE TRUTH IN THE NIGER DELTA REGION “Again, Militants Bar Patience Jonathan From Rally” –Punch http://www.punchng.com/news/again-militants-bar-patience-jonathan-from-rally/ Now comes, the TRUTH!!! After the big lies tol Read more ... d by PDP, Jonathan and their gangs called ministers and commissioners and old PDP generation of military and civilian govts since 1976 which asserted claim that billions of dollars have been pumped into the Niger Delta Region to develop the region. Citizens across this region continue to wallow in abject poverty and major part of this money is in foreign bank and other financial institutions. This money was looted and repatriated by the PDP governors, senators, ministers, commissioners, etc. Some people claim per figure of money written out into personal pockets to please political gangs as money spent to develop the Niger Delta Region whereas no money has been spent to develop the region. Big lies that under national regional revenue share, Niger Delta Region gets more money than all other regions but in the Niger Delta Region this money is not seen on the people, land, water and air. This the cause of anger of the civil liberty fighters, citizens of the region and should Jonathan and other PDP governors rig themselves into power, against the wish of these citizens and advocates, the entire region will not see next noon day.
