His words, “Anyone calling for his non-reappointment is an enemy of the Ijaw nation, we are therefore urging our dynamic minister for Petroleum, State, Chief Timpre Sylva to completely disregard such unproductive and fake calls crying for the downfall of fellow Ijaw man against the larger interest of the Ijaw nation.

“Engr. Simbi has done more than enough to deserve whatever appointment in that board and beyond.More in Home
