Ijaw elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, has called for the exclusion of Abia, Imo and Ondo states from the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
Clark believed that Abia, Imo, and Ondo states were included in the 2000 NDDC Act for convenience, though it was a political aberration.
He has demanded that President Bola Tinubu re-enact a new bill for the NDDC that would reflect the true oil-producing states of the Niger Delta, which are Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Edo and Akwa Ibom.
