A group of politicians from the Edo North Senatorial District of Edo state have described as baseless and unfounded, allegations made by the Benin National Congress (BNC) against the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Engr. Abubakar Momoh.
The BNC had insinuated that the Edo South Senatorial district is being sidelined or discriminated against in terms of political appointment and projects allocation in favor of the North because the minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Engr. Abubakar Momoh and the state leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Adams Oshiomhole are both from the same ethnic group in Edo North.
