The former chairman of Egbema Gbaramatu Communities Development Council said, ” I, Chief Michael Johnny, I have never met with Engr. Wabote and I have never had any dealings with him whatsover.
However, but since no competent Court has found Wabote guilty, and no agency of crime has found him guilty as well, therefore, anyone or persons calling for the sack of Wabote are being mischievous and attempting to blackmail”.
Johnny, urged President Muhammadu Buhari and Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva to ignore calls to sack Engr. Wabote, Executive Secretary, Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board NCDMB, who is performing his duty, adding that every plot to destabilize the region must be rejected.
The Ijaw Activist, noted that Engr. Wabote should be allowed to do his job for which he was apointed by President Muhammadu Buhari, pointing out that Wabote is still innocent of whatever allegations being made against him.
It will be recalled that Engr. wabote was accused of alleged non-disclosure of two existing foreign accounts, Bank of America and HSBC in his Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) form among others.
