The Niger Delta Ambassadors for Good Governance (NDAGG) has dismissed allegations made by former militant leader Alhaji Asari-Dokubo against the Project Director of Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL), Dr Osahon Okunbo, describing them as mischievous, misleading and deliberate misinformation. In a statement signed by its President, Zipamoh Moses, the group said it was joining other local groups and stakeholders in defending PINL and Okunbo against what it described as a misplaced public outburst driven by envy and personal gratification. The controversy followed a viral video in which Asari-Dokubo alleged that PINL and its directors, alongside the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, receive N2.7 trillion annually from the federal government for oil pipeline surveillance. NDAGG said Asari-Dokubo's attempt to portray Okunbo as an outsider who was not entitled to execute the project was unfounded.
