NDDC is Not in Contention or Competition With Anybody, Duke Replies Kalita Aruku
The Cross River State representative at the NDDC board Rt. Hon. Orok Duke has responded to criticism on some social media platforms following the distribution of Yuletide palliatives in Cross River State.
Responding to criticism by Kalita Igbe Aruku on one of the social media platforms, the NDDC rep said NDDC is an interventionist agency that seeks to complement the efforts of the state government.
Aruku wrote; "Other States NDDC dey do better projects...e reach our turn na to share rice 1 month after Christmas and to Politicians only and they would expect people to clap for them.
Can Chief Orok Duke tell us one major project he has attracted to Cross river Since he was nominated to NDDC?...
The reply read;
@Kalita Aruku
What is really the intention of this post?
“My people perish due to lack of knowledge”
If there are issues, the author should bring them up and I would gladly respond to all of them, accordingly.
We don’t do innuendoes, at all.
Federal Govt sent rice to every state during the Yuletide season
NDDC sent rice to the 9 states within its jurisdiction, the consignment for CRS arrived late and I insisted that the gifts should go around accordingly
Is that a crime??
Rights are different from privileges.
NDDC is not in contention or competition with anybody, we are there to complement and augment the efforts of the very capable Governor in place, in CRS.
Whoever does not see the solar street lights, the hundreds of refuse bins, the hundreds of roads ongoing and even the ongoing major road in Etung , that the Hon Minister participated in flagging off the other week.
A hunter would always feel aggrieved and angry at a tree that prevented it from killing an animal during a hunt.
Governor Otu will complete his 8 years in Office neatly and effectively and we would be there to continue to give him and his Govt the requisite covering fire.
Take that to the bank, please.
Attacking NDDC projects and programmes would not help the Author or tamper with the hands of Providence.
Otuekong Orok Otu Duke
Commissioner/CRS Representative,
NDDC
