She made the revelation on Friday in her testimony before the House of Representatives committee on NDDC probe.
Nunieh, who testified via teleconference, noted that her rejection was part of why she was sacked.
She said during her tenure, no palliatives were given, the first time in NDDC history.
“I did not give out Christmas palliatives. I was under pressure to bring N10billion – N1billion per state – but I refused. NDDC worked throughout December. There was no break except on public holidays,” she said.
Nunieh alleged that Niger Delta Minister, Godswill Akpabio, hijacked NDDC forensic audit ordered by President Muhammadu Buhari.
She further claimed Akpabio told her to write a letter to him.
Nunieh disclosed that the former Akwa Ibom governor gave her a draft; “that I should put it on my letterhead. In that letter, I was supposed to write about most of the companies…(that) Senator Nwaoboshi owned the 98 companies”.
She denied stating that Nwaboshi was the lawmaker collecting N1billion from the NDDC.
“I said ‘how can an individual be collecting N1 billion every month?’ The case of senator Nwaoboshi is the case of the 98 files which I was supposed to write about. What I met was not exactly what was going on.”
Nunieh added that Akpabio insisted that he would supervise the forensic audit.
“I reminded him and showed him the letter that the president had written, that there is no way we could spend the money that was in our budget. I want to tell the world that I never did any employment. I never gave out a single contract from NDDC”.
On contracts, Nunieh said she never got any money from contractors
“I am not corrupt. I can say before the world that I’m the most unpopular MD ever that came to NDDC. The money of the people of Niger Delta is blood money, I refused to touch it”, the former MD added.

ReplyDeleteI pray and hope they won't assassinate this woman.
DeleteI just hope she's safe... Na wah
DeleteEhen. .....10 nso mkpo? Abasi ibom ke eyong oooooo
DeleteAnon you can say that again... I fear for her life...
DeleteI dislike bully and alpha male like Akpabio however, Joy shouldn’t overdo her point as too much of anything is not good. Akpabio must have instructed her to do some shit but I don’t think she is as innocent and corrupt free as she makes herself to be. They are all corrupt thieves and I don’t believe her BS story
DeleteEnough of all this , IG should take over ..and she didn't say the money was for akpabio alone it was for 10 states
ReplyDeleteAnon go and read well. It was to be approved for the 10 states and diverted to akpabio!
Delete😂😂😂 Christmas bonus bawo.Na wa o
ReplyDeleteThey are the reason why Nigeria keeps getting impoverished and her people living in abject poverty..
ReplyDeleteBV NEME
I believe anything this woman says. Our politicians are so greedy and insatiable with money. Tomorrow if he's sick someone will ask me not wish him death. The wrath of God will visit all of them
ReplyDeleteOne thing I believe for a fact is that they are both corrupt piece of crap and she need to take several seat back. Why didn’t she raised alarm before she was sacked? She is as corrupt as Akpabio.
DeleteI honestly pray they take this case seriously and don't end up sweeping it under the carpet
ReplyDeleteI pray so o
DeleteHonestly
DeleteAkpabio has messed with the wrong woman, he thinks he is messing with someone with no political backing. Does he know who her father was?, Late Sen. Cyrus Nunieh, the first Senator and first lawyer from Ogoni land. He was the 93 years old senator who married that young woman a couple of years ago. She has political clout and backing in Niger Delta. She even inherited her father's historical chieftaincy title when he died.
ReplyDeleteI tell you, Sen. Nwaoboshi has now been sacked by the court as Delta North Senator-Elect. Ned Nwoko has taken over.
DeleteAnon19:14, you know them very well. Strong family with no nonsense women.
DeleteAnon19:55 are you high on some sort of substances?
DeleteSuper v thanks for asking. Maybe anon is high on coolant!!
DeleteEven Jesus naming ceremony no dare like this nao
ReplyDeleteI feel so sad for our Niger Delta. Imagine the decay and filth.
DeleteThere are several of this kind of things happening in ministries and parastatals. Only God can save this country from all these evil and greedy leaders. It is so annoying when you look around and see how people are suffering and dieing of hunger and ailments that are treatable and curable. Because of lack of good health care facilities. This 10billion imagine the number of quality hospital it can build in some of the rural areas of Nigeria Delta. God please have mercy on this country and save it from evil leaders.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this. We need people like this Who can expose what these corrupt people are doing. Madam joy u are a great woman.
ReplyDeleteThis woman is very strong willed. I beg she must have married weak men. Many men cannot manage a woman with such resilience. Great lady!!
ReplyDeleteAnd like Akpabio, you bring up her marital status. 🙄🙄🙄
DeleteTrue

DeleteI honestly feel this woman is telling the truth, the only painful thing is that they won't investigate the matter.Akpabio even send his boys to hijack the woman all thanks to governor wike that came and sent them away.What a country
ReplyDeleteHow do you know it won't be investigated. I beg no carry your mouth spoil the matter. You should rather say May justice prevail on this issue.
