Tunji Ojo, a notorious lawmaker became popular due to his alleged involvement in corruption and allegedly involved in contracts stealing and awarding NDDC contracts to his cronies alone

The whole scenario started in May 2020 when the interim committee management Chairman of the NDDC which alleged that a 40bn Naira probe launched by the parliament was instigated by the refusal to play ball in some alleged corrupt practice.

Matter got worst when the minister of Niger Delta senator Godwill Akpabio threw a salvo that hit the entire parliament so hard.

Senator Akpabio threw more green lights on the issues when he emphasized that those lawmakers investigating the NDDC are also beneficiaries of the large chunks of the contract from the commission.

Sen. Akpabio specifically mention name of both Chairman committee of NDDC in both red and green Chambers, he said \”I think I must have been misunderstood, I was given an example of contract of 10.9billion Naira in the chairman\’s place. I am saying that the contract are split to a point where it comes below the threshold of the minister approval. The contract was actually for the chairman state (ondo) and not for himself he added
