The summon was connected with the alleged release of N6.25 billion COVID-19 palliative by the Federal Government through its Presidential Palliative Distribution Committee to the NDDC during his time, but which the spending was unclear.
The Senate on Thursday issued a last warning for the ex-MD’s appearance for explanation, due to the petition by the former Chairman, NDDC COVID-19 Palliative Committee, Chief Sobomabo Jackrich; alleging misappropriation and diversion of the palliative funds.
The petitioner is also asking, among other things, that the IMC should refund all monies it has received from the Federal Government; including remittances from the International Oil Companies (IOCs) back into government coffer.
Jackrich in his petition shockingly revealed that as the Chairman of the Presidential Committee, he was completely sidelined as the IMC hijacked the process to perpetrate the fraud after he insisted on transparency and that due process must be followed.
“As Chairman of the Covid-19 Palliative Distribution Committee of the NDDC, I testify that N6.25 billion approved by Mr. President for palliatives for the Niger-Delta through the NDDC cannot be accounted for and is allegedly embezzled by Professor Daniel Pondei- led IMC”.
He said to cover up their deceit, the IMC staged managed the distribution of a few expired food items and old medical equipment from NDDC warehouse to deceive the unsuspecting members of the public and mislead the President.
It is the fourth of such summons by the Senate panel inviting the top executives of the NDDC to appear before it without success as NDDC officials failed to appear again on Thursday, 4th February, 2021 after failing to appear in all previous hearings.

He is still trying to perfect the next style of fainting, please give him more time, oh Senate.
ReplyDeleteLol, palliative money that has been used to buy cars and build houses for Nollywood actresses. Until Nigerians begin to hold their leaders accountable and question any material acquisition that doesn't match income, this trend will continue...
