The Rivers State governor did this as the news trends.

This is coming as Minister of Niger Delta Affair, Godswill Akpabio and Nunieh have been involved in war of words over allegations of corruption in the NDDC.

The former MD of NDDC, accused Akpabio of sexual harassment, budget padding, fraud, to mention a few, which the Minister has since denied and accused her of having attitude problem.
