The leadership of the Host Communities of Nigeria , Producing Oil and Gas HOSTCOM Urhobo Ethnic Nationality have made a compassionate appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to swear in the  Pius Odubu and Bernard Okumagba led board that has been screened by the Senate before the issue of Interim Management Committee arose. 

Comrade Andrew Agoyo HOSTCOM Urhobo Nation Chairman in an  open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari made available to our correspondent  lamented  over the corruption saga that is currently  rocking the NDDC since the public hearing on the Commission's  Interim Management Committee began recently.  

The HOSTCOM Urhobo Leader  emphasized in his message to Mr President that,  the foul odour of the can of worms oozing from  NDDC Management Staff  and the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs is worrisome and  unacceptable, as their   actions clearly demonstrate their  insensitivity to the welfare  of the  people they  are entrusted to serve  in the best interest of the Niger Delta region which is currently in a sorry state.  

Comrade Chief Andrew Agoyo , the Chairman HOSTCOM Urhobo Nation called on President Muhammadu Buhari to do away with the IMC which  he described as  a bunch of disgrace to the Niger Delta People who constituted themselves as cogs in the wheel of progress. 

According to Comrade Agoyo ,the Urhobo HOSTCOM Chair, the selfish interest of some few individuals is not enough to jeopardise the collective destiny of the Niger Delta people,  hence the call to clear the Commission of these  fraudulent and  unguided  people who are on a mission to acquire  the commonwealth of the Niger Delta people by every crooked means possible. 

Speaking further, the Group Chairman said :  "if this dirty habit  of the likes of  Godswill Akpabio ,Prof Pondei and Cairo Ojougboh is  not checked now,  the  development of the Niger Delta will remain a pipe dream " .

He stressed that, Corruption must be tackled head long no  matter whose ox is gored,  adding that,  only punitive measures  taken against thieves of our Common wealth like it is done in China   will be the  panacea to stop the  ugly trend in our nation Nigeria. 

Agoyo the Urhobo HOSTCOM Chair argued that it will be very good to use some public enemies as example for others to learn by giving them the treatment that will discourage public servants  from threading on the path of corruption.  He  regretted that in our country , you will see the masters of the game of corruption  coming to twist justice shamelessly to set corruot public officers free from going to jail by finacially greasing the judicial authorities  that are presiding and  they are celebrated as brilliant lawyers to the doom of our collective well being.
