The Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Chief (Dr.) Samuel Ogbuku, has distanced himself from media reports falsely attributing rumours of his arrest to Bayelsa State Governor Senator Douye Diri.
In a statement released by his Special Assistant on Media, Dr.Willie Etim, Ogbuku denounced the reports as baseless and inflammatory.
He stressed that no political discord exists between himself and the governor.
The report had suggested a political rift between Ogbuku and the governor.
“There is no rivalry within the APC family in Bayelsa State,” the statement read, stressing that individual opinions on local politics do not reflect Ogbuku’s views or positions.
