 The Senate and House of Representatives Committees and Niger Dalton Thursday screened Loretta Onoche, the chairman of the Niger Dalton Development Commission, but Onoche, a special assistant on social media to President Buhari, was screened by the joint committees alongside the 13 others for the NDDC-Bud roles. Bari had written to the Senate requesting the opera chamber to confirm the appointment of the chairman and members of the NDDC-Bud in accordance with the provisions of Section 2, Subsection 2A of the Niger Dalton Development Commission Act. However, there appeared to be reservations by some committee members against the nomination of Onoche notably on the grounds that she is not from an oil-producing community in Delta State, where she is from. This is against the NDDC Act and consequently, she cannot chair the commission. Because if you don't correct this, it will have a situation where persons who are not from the Niger Delta one day will be nominated. The act is very clear. Those who should not come from oil-producing communities and states is very clear. Not east, not west, and so on and so forth. For the position of chairman, we can make an exception, but for the other positions, even if we are allowing these particular nominations to go through, please my dear colleagues, so that we save the integrity of the law we have made. When we had a reason to turn down the presidential nomination of this same nominee in the Senate, it was because the position for which he was nominated was the position of an umpire, electoral umpire, and there were members of public who were concerned that because she is a card carrying member of a political party and a presidential aide, an active one, she was not the best person. And in the Senate, specifically in the Senate Committee on electoral matters, we are also a member. We took into cognizance the concern of the public. Today in the Senate, we are faced with a different scenario. She has been nominated as a representative from an oil-producing state, and for the purpose of holding a political appointment.
