Inyali Peter, Calabar

The Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba and the Zonal Organizing Secretary (ZOS, South South) of APC, Paul Obi have warmly welcome Senator Florence Ita Giwa who really dumped the People's Democratic Party, PDP for APC to the party.

Recall that Senator Ita Giwa, a former Presidential Adviser on National Assembly matters who was appointed as the Chairman of Cross River Port Authority by Governor Ben Ayade on Friday defected with over 1,000 supporters from the PDP to APC.

In a separate statement issued by the duo, they described the decision of Ita Giwa to move to the party as a great development that shows her commitment to deploy her wealth of experience in moving Nigeria forward.

Clara Braide, Special Assistant, Communication to the NDDC Chairman who signed the statement on his behalf quoted Ndoma-Egba as saying that “Your coming to the APC at this point in our fledgling democracy is a pointer to your sincere commitment to deploy your wealth of experience, with other democrats, for the betterment of your Region and the Nation as a whole”.

He expressed optimism that judging from Sen. Ita Giwa’s antecedents as a team player, grassroots mobilizer and party faithful, the APC’s gradual push to take over the South-South is progressively becoming a reality.

“We all are aware of the interesting political story of this great woman of note and how she has been able to galvanize the people of her community to pursue a course that they hold dear in a non-political and non-military way.

“The party can benefit from her immense wealth of experience and tap into her political structure for our parties greater good. She is a good catch. This move is a further endorsement for President Mohammadu Buhari”, the system reads.

Obi, in his part noted that her coming was a great boost to the dream of APC to takeover government from the PDP in the state and other South South states.

"The crossing over of Mama Ita Giwa is a great development. The long awaited mother has come, it's like we had much Fathers without enough  mothers. 

"With her wealth of experience, the Party is growing stronger. Our plan to enshrine a good Government for Our People is receiving a boost and becoming realisable. Mama we welcome you", he stated.

A Brief Remark On Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba Before His Confirmation As NDDC Chairman, By Joseph Odok

Victor Ndoma-Egba is a man with unbeatable records as a politician and lawyer in Cross River State. In fact, he appears to me the most accomplished man at 60 in cross river state of today.

The name Victor Ndoma Egba is a national name in Nigeria and Cross River State. Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma Egba remains the only politician with two National Awards of Cross River State origin. He is recognized with the honours of OFR and CON. He has distinguished himself in all that he sets out to do as a lawyer and a politician. At the end of every engagement, Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma has come out better and exceptional. Joining APC, Distinguished Senator Victor feels comfortable as an elder statesman than participating in elective positions. His sole desire is that the cross river state youth should brace up to responsibility and show commitment in self development. It is worthy of note that as early as 27 Victor Ndoma Egba had defined himself and become an independent man owning his own personal house and a car for himself and mother.

Besides he was the first Director of Food and Rural Infrastructure at same time. At this moment of service, there were only 9 commissions in the then old Cross River State comprising of the present Cross River State and Akwa Ibom.

Lawyer and Politician Senator Victor Ndoma Egba was born in March 1956 in Ikom, Cross River State. He was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1978 and was elevated to the rank of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) in 2004.

He was a member Senate Committee on upstream Petroleum Resources, Human Rights and legal matters and information and Media.

He was reelected as a senator on April 2011 on the PDP platform, winning 143,537 votes while the runner up of ACN Patrick Iwara gained 47, 005 votes.

More recently, citing irreconcilable differences he quits PDP and moves to APC. To many this is mere opportunism but the reality was that Victor Ndoma Egba was treated as an Internally Displaced person in CRS PDP and was excludes for state party functions for about three years. Prior to his official resignation from PDP, Victor Ndoma Egba led a cross river state delegation to PMB to congratulate him and also present the CRS agenda.

RECESSION: The Senate Recommends 'Sack' Of Finance Minister, Adeosun, Udoma, Others

The Senate on Tuesday explained that the level of the economic recession being witnessed requires sincere approach by the federal government in a manner that those who have the competence should be allowed to serve in critical sectors of the economy.

Senate Leader, Ali Ndume in his speech enjoined Senators to be focused on forward-looking, noting that the phenomenon was a global one which other countries have successfully overcome.

“The economic recession was not caused by the present government, but a global one and those countries successfully came out of it,” he noted.

Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu on his part, emphasised on reshuffling of the cabinet by President Buhari to enable him put competent persons I critical sectors.

“Distinguished Senators, look at my friend Senator Udo Udoma, Minister of Budget and National Planning, as a lawyer, what can he do? He can be at his best in a sector related to his area of competence. ”

Ekweremadu added:” The Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun can be assigned to another ministry to give way to a more competent person because of the situation at hand. ”

He, however, cautioned against sales of government assets as being canvassed by some experts, while urging government to learn from Saudi Arabia when they decided to make foreign investors to invest in their assets when they were in recession which eventually paid off.

Proffering solutions further, Ekweremadu called for renegotiation with oil majors on percentages been remitted to government, recalling that late Gen. Sani Apache made them to increase their remittances to government and it worked.

Dino Melaye (APC), Kogi West Senatorial District, on his part called for outright sack of the economic team as well as some Ministers, explaining some have failed the nation.

Senator George Akume (APC), Benue South Senatorial District in his submission recalled that former President, Olusegun Obasanjo consciously saved over $60billion in Nigeria’s foreign reserve between 1999 and 2003, lamenting that that money was stolen by successive administration.

Shehu Sani (APC), Kaduna Central questioned sharing formula of the federal monthly allocations, saying, it make Nigeria citizens to be lazy.

According to him: “Nigeria has been in recession and what is happening is that the situation has only been aggravated as a result of laziness and corruption by past administrations.”

The Hidden Truth About Sen. Victor Ndoma-Egba: Why Buhari Nominated Him As NDDC Chairman, By Joseph Odok

Mixed feelings have trailed the appointment of Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba. But in actions and spirit the president has been so strategic in his appointments and is determined to solve problems hitherto considered insurmountable. The Niger Delta Region has defiled attempts at any solution. So many missed opportunities with irrational irritability becoming the character of the youths. The irrational irritability is not totally unjustifiable but destructive to the Nigerian state and self destructive to the Niger Delta Region. While the Nigerian economy and survival is threatened, there's also sown a seed of destruction of lives and environment that rather aggravate the the nearly comatose region bedeviled by poverty, unemployment, lack of infrastructure, environmental pollution, corruption and inequalities.

Recent approach of the government especially in the creation of the Niger Delta Commission, The Niger Delta Ministry, 13% derivative to oil producing states, and the environmental clean up of Ogoni by the Nigerian state has no doubt been an increased effort to improve the conditions of the goose that lays the golden eggs; upon which the economic survival of the nation has relied on over the years since oil was discovered. Unfortunately, the actions of most Niger Delta stakeholders and militant have rather been selfish, irrational, self defeating, creating a 'man eat man' situation with concomitant loss of opportunities. With frustration wrought by mismanagement of opportunities, a gang of opportunist have consolidated into a cabal whose determination is to take advantage of the situation for self enrichment. Criminality is surely the tool of the cabal. While the Niger Delta stakeholders have taken to corruption and self enrichment by appropriating the crumps from the federal government from increased derivation meant for the development of the area to themselves; The militants took to irrational irritability as a justifiable base for oil bunkering, kidnapping, violence, terrorism, establishment of illegal refineries and militancy as a tool of negotiation for juicy contracts, appointments and recognition by the federal government. The Niger Delta region is a story of criminality paying and tacitly adopted by the behaviour of the government.

Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba is to me the most appropriate and there appear no better choice than him to resolve issues that surrounds the Niger Delta Question especially because of his wealth of experience and connections. The Senate Leader enjoys enormous relationship with many stakeholders and opinion leaders in the Niger Delta Region. Most significant person and stakeholders in the Niger Delta region were political associate and colleagues when Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba was in the Senate. Being a key player in the Senate then, he built a relationship that cuts across all stakeholders in the Niger Delta and this is an advantage to the resolution of the crisis.

Also significant is the fact that Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba had been in the Senate for 12 consecutive years and had a mix with opinion leaders and gained advantage that can help in the direction of pushing for the enactment of laws that can strengthen the Niger Delta Region. The fact that Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba rose to the position of the Senate Leader is a great advantage. More so, the fact that he was an exceptional Senator brings lots of positivity to the Niger Delta Region

Ostensibly, the nub of hope in the appointment of Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, OFR, CON, SAN as Chairman Niger Delta Commission lie in the fact that he has been exceptional in the discharge of all assignments bestowed on him. In a country where average life expectancy hovers between 45 and 47 years, the attainment of three score in his sojourn on earth is an unparalleled milestone. Going back memory lane and doing a checklist of how much of the effectual grace of God he has enjoyed, this highly accomplished son of Nigeria cannot but be celebrated as the chairman Niger Delta Commission. Senator Ndoma-Egba is a rare combination of God’s boundless grace and progressive mercies.

In a clime where it is the unsavory propensity of people to disdain the feats of achievers, the imprints of Senator Ndoma-Egba’s exploits are too visible for even the blind to see. Born sixty (60) years ago in the unique ambience of Ikom Urban in Ikom Local Government Area of Cross River State, precisely on 8th March, 1956, Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba rose like a thousand stars at St. Martins Primary School, Ikom between 1962 and 1967; towering head and shoulders above his peers at Mary Knoll College, Ogoja where he was always a delight to listen to at both state and national quiz/debate competitions in the early 1970s. He had a thirty days stint at the Faculty of Law at the Enugu Campus of the University of Nigeria in 1974.

Upon the release of A level results in 1974, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba’s sterling performance at the time saw him gaining admission into the Faculty of Law, University of Lagos where he was offered three years to pursue a degree in law. Sparkling like a flawless diamond at the Akoka Campus of the University of Lagos, he subsequently enrolled into Nigeria Law School at Victoria Island, Lagos where he scaled the final Bar examination with effortless ease in 1978. In 1993, Ndoma-Egba obtained an LL.M Degree from the Faculty of Law, University of Calabar with blazing light.

With an avowed desire to enhance his capacity, Ndoma-Egba studied and obtained Certificate in Export Processing Zone Administration, I.D.I Shannon, Ireland(1992); Certificate in CHANGE for the 21st Century, Stanford University, Palo Alto, USA(2009); and Certificate in Leadership, Harvard University, USA(2011). He started his public service career on a high at the tender age of 24 in 1981 when the then President Shehu Shagari appointed him a Director in Cross River Basin Development Authority. In 1980 at only 27 when most of his peers were still on the verge of writing University Matriculation Examinations (popularly known as JAMB), Victor Ndoma-Egba was appointed Commissioner for Works and Transport in the old Cross River (now Cross River and Akwa Ibom States respectively). This is no mean feat! It can be safely said that Senator Ndoma-Egba is a man who had lived ahead of his age.

Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba is a man of prodigious intellect. By dint of hard work and tangible deliverables in his previous appointments, he was appointed Director/Chief Executive, Directorate for Food, Road and Rural Infrastructure (DFRRI), Cross River State in 1986. In the same year, he was saddled with the responsibility as Acting Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General, Cross River State. “Victor Ndoma-Egba is a man imbued with the capacity for multi-task and a workaholic”, you must say.

Since 1984, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba has built an untainted reputation of excellence, integrity, credibility and character in public service in addition to a thriving private legal practice which dates back to 1979 at K.G.Agabi Chambers in Ogoja, Cross River State. Victor (as his peers would call him) has served on many occasions as chairman or member of different government boards, agencies and commissions making unrivalled contributions to the development of his state and country. In 1987, Senator Ndoma-Egba with a junior colleague in the bar, Richard Ebri (deceased) founded the highly reputable Ndoma-Egba, Ebri & Co (Legal Practitioners) in Calabar. For almost two decades after the demise of Barr Richard Ebri, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba has maintained the name of the chambers. Thus, immortalizing a late friend and partner. Ndoma-Egba is a personification of loyalty. He gives absolute loyalty and deserves same in full measure.

Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba’s calling is legal jurisprudence, his profession is law, his burning passion is to leave people better than he met them and his vocation is to enhance the living standard of people across his state and country. In 1981, from his stipend in private legal practice in the cascading shadow of Ogoja in Cross River State, Ndoma-Egba started a scholarship scheme for indigent students which he has sustained for more than three decades. This scheme has become one of the most robust scholarship programs in the country today churning out hundreds of graduates from first degrees to Ph.Ds from Nigerian Universities on a yearly basis.

In 2007, Ndoma-Egba initiated the entrepreneurial scheme where more than 120 people were trained in different vocations/skills and empowered with start-up capital and now own their businesses. As a serving Senator of the Federal Republic, Ndoma-Egba was a master of legislative advocacy where he attracted projects in excess of N7Billion to his constituency in the Central Senatorial District of Cross River State. His unceremonious exit from the hallowed chambers of the Nigerian Senate after 12 years of meritorious service to his fatherland has kept the tongues of watchers of Nigerian politics wagging and their mouths yawning for more of his unmatchable legislative depth. The void created by his absence at the 8th Senate is quite undeserving to the Nigerian people at this critical moment in our checkered history.

As a serving Senator, Ndoma-Egba sponsored and co-sponsored 38 Bills most of which have become Acts of the National Assembly including the famous Freedom of Information Bill. This is an unrivalled feat in the history of parliamentary representation in Nigeria. In the dark days of the cabal, Senator Ndoma-Egba stood to be counted as one of the wise men who framed the now famous “Doctrine of Necessity” that was adopted to stabilize the ship of state. For the umpteenth time, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba has remained the first lawyer to be recognized as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria while serving at the National Assembly. The dedication to service and the fact that Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba served a rallying point and the engine of the 7th Senate holds good for the Niger Delta region.

Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba is an exceptionally talented lawyer and gentleman; he has traversed the world as leader or delegate representing Nigeria at high-profile international fora. Over the years, he has built a network of friends; spreading his tentacles across the length and breadth of Nigeria and beyond. With laurels including the prestigious Officer of the Federal Republic (OFR) and Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON); and several chieftaincy/traditional titles from different communities in Cross River State, Victor Ndoma-Egba is indisputably a leading light from whatever perspective one chooses to assess him. Senator Ndoma-Egba is listed in the Africa Who’s Who. In 2004, he was honored with the revered Ambassador of Goodwill for the State of Israel and the Dr. Kwame Nkrumah Leadership Award in Accra, Ghana.

George Burns must have had Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba in mind when he stringed this line, “You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old”. For his admirers, Senator Ndoma-Egba is not getting older….just getting more distinguished! Just like fine wine, the Senator is getting more handsome and cute with years. Ndoma-Egba is a man of style and candor with an admirable dress-sense, always impeccably dressed. One can always trust this distinguished son of Cross River nay Nigeria to fit the occasion at all times-simple and modest, yet eye-catching.

Senator Ndoma-Egba took a gallant walk from the cozy ambience of the National Assembly back to the cape of his wig and gown to continue a fascinating career in private legal practice that remains on an upward trajectory. Even outside the hallowed chambers of the Senate, Ndoma-Egba remains a blue-ship and a quintessential political bride. At only 60, the LEADER as he is fondly called is still capable of springing sterling surprises. We can only wish him longer life in good health as he continues to serve humanity with the fear of God.

No better person with a history of hard work, resilience, intelligence, philanthropy, connection, experience, national relevance, statesmanship, and recognition than Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba. In the choice of Victor Ndoma-Egba lies the success in the resolution of the problems in the Niger Delta Region. Success looms in the cloudy days of the Niger Delta People. A big congratulations to President Mohammad Buhari and Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba for a well deserved appointment.

THE VICTOR NDOMA-EGBA I KNOW, By Ifere Paul

My attention has been drawn to a publication on “The Nation Newspaper” of August 3rd, 2016 by a group that called itself Niger Delta Volunteers (NDV). It was signed by Commander Ekpo Ekpo, who is the group spokesperson. 

Others signatories are Commander Henry Etete, who is the spokesperson NDPLF, Commander Asuquo Henshaw, spokesperson for BFF, Commander Benedict Amakree, spokesperson for Niger Delta Watch Dogs.

The petition was also signed by Commander Hart Bradford of Niger Delta People Liberation Fighters, Commander Kobo Jack of Joint Niger Delta Liberation Fighters, Commander Okorochas Victor of Niger Delta Strike Force, Commander Debekme Jackson of Niger Delta People's Salvation, and Commander Ifeanyi Kalu of Niger Delta People's Liberation Movement.

I will have overlooked the publication but for some reasons, I felt I should clarify some of the issues they raised in their petition. For me, the group only succeeded in telling Nigerians lies. 

The aforementioned group stated that the President should “withdraw the nomination of the Chairman and the Managing Director of NDDC from the Senate and replace same with technocrats of proven integrity who have no corrupt record.”

The aforementioned group went further to posit that “these individuals who could not perform in their previous elected/appointed offices and are eyeing 2019 gubernatorial positions in their states.” They went on to describe Obong Nsima as a self centred person as Managing Director designate,  is a glaring example of misfit in this board nomination.”

They also described Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba as a person who “has held several positions of trust but has failed to bring anything good to his people.” That, and I qoute “His constituency is crying for development despite the fact that he received huge sums of money as Constituency development projects during his 16 years tenure as a Senator.” They concluded that “His main objective is becoming Governor of Cross River State in 2019 butnot developing Niger Delta.”

I am not worried about the writers of the petition. My worry is the millions of Nigerians who may have been misled by this malicious write up. The write up did not capture the person or personality of Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN) at all. As a Cross Riverian, I am very proud to talk about Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN) anywhere in the world.

Today, students in the central senatorial district can be proud to him because, he made the computer based Jamb Examination a child play for them. It is verified that the central senatorial district has the highest examination quota by merit in Cross River State. 

Over 10, 000 students from everywhere have been massively trained for free for various computer literacy programs. 

It is quite sad that the so called Niger Delta Volunteer group did not make a search on Google about the achievements of Senator Distinguish Victor Ndoma-Egba SAN. A search on Google of Victor Ndoma-Egba will pop out different topics. Many talked about about his youths empowerment initiative through literacy programs. 

As a leading lawyer in Cross River State, Senator Distinguish Victor Ndoma-Egba has a scholarship program that many underprivileged students benefited and depended on to go through a higher institution. Till now, the Victor Ndoma-Egba scholarship is a very popular scholarship initiative in Cross River State. The scholarship program has provisions for First Degrees-Ph.D both in Nigeria. This is apart from the many text messages he receive for different financial assistance from students all over Nigeria.

Senator Distinguish Victor Ndoma-Egba SAN, has also helped in the aspect of medical relief/assistance to so many poor families in Cross River State for the treatment of different ailments and payments of hospital bills for different sickness. 

Cross Riverians, and indeed Nigerians were trying to catch their breath when on Saturday 24th  May, 2014, he again turned the Nation's attention to his constituency. He invited the NNigerians to the tour of all his constituency projects.  On this day, 48 eight cars including brand new cars were given, in addition to 26 that were given in the previous weeks.

Oil mills, garri processing mill, generators, farming implements and laptops were given to ICT students from across the State. 121 graduands of the Central Bank of Nigeria run Enterprise Development Centre in Calabar were given 200,000.00 Naira each as seed money for their business start up.

The women were not left out. One million Naira was given to each of 6 Local Government Areas as seed money for petty trading, and another one million Naira for widows to start anything of their choice. These funds were directly dropped into bank account for them. This has increased a workable relationship with them bank. Churches were given complete musical/band sets. These interventions were necessary after very careful needs assessment from the churches. He has distributed different relief materials at different times to the people suffering from flood and other seasonal disasters occassioned by rain during the rainy seasons. 

The core responsibility of a legislator is law making. In this area Senator Ndoma-Egba is credited with 38 Bills including "The Freedom of Information Bill" which is now an Act of the National Assembly, and many motions ranging from the Bakassi People, The Plight of Pensioners, and many more.

As far as representation is concerned, the bar to catch up with the Senator Distinguish Victor Ndoma-Egba legacy in Cross River State is high. He has raised the stakes and it is a challenge to all other representatives in the Senate now. Throughout his stay in the Senate, we have never seen pictures of him sleeping, or heard about his involvement in budget padding controversies. Instead, the Nigerian Nation has been reminded that there is an eminent vacuum that cannot be filled in a long time to come because, there is non like him yet in the Senate from Cross River State. His Valedictory Speech on the day he exited the Senate attracted a national ovation. 

In fact, time and space cannot allow me to state the impact Senator Distinguish Victor Ndoma-Egba has had on his people in Cross River State, and Nigeria in general. The Senator Distinguish, has all it takes to lead any parastatal, commission, and or ministry in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He is one of the most experienced politician in Cross River State. His ability to treat every individual he comes in contact with first, as a Nigerian and then the region you come from is one single aspect that has set him apart as a nationalist.

Senator Distinguish Victor Ndoma-Egba's appointment as the Chairman NDDC is timely and mostly appreciated now. His ability to treat all people equal will be used to solve most of the problems hindering development in the Niger Delta region. Senator Distinguish Victor Ndoma-Egba does not care what ethnic group one comes from, and this will be handy when dealing with ethnic polarized regions like Niger Delta. 

The appointment of Senator Distinguish Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN) as Chairman of NDDC was met with wide jubilation across Cross River State. People in the Central Senatorial District celebrated for days. This shows the happiness of the people to the man Ndoma-Egba because of what he has been able to do to his immediate constituency, Cross River State, and Nigeria at large. To say that Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN) has not done anything good to his people is to say according to Chinese people that “fish don't breathe.” 

It is far from the truth for the group NDV to say that Senator Distinguish Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN) is nursing the ambition to contest the governorship elections in 2019, and not to develop the Niger Delta region. As far as I'm concern, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN) may never contest election again. But he will be willing to take any responsibility he is seen as capable to drive the vision of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Senator Distinguish Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN) is the right man to heal the wounds and heartbreak of the people in the Niger Delta region. I am optimistic that by the end of his tenure as the Chairman NDDC, all factions and fractions that has occassioned our disunity as a region, may have been healed. 

I congratulate our Distinguish Leader, Senator, Sir Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN) on his call serve his people. Once again, Congratulations to the man wey sabi.

Let the dialogue for peace start now!

Long live Nigeria!

Long live Niger Delta region!

Long live Niger Delta people!
