We won’t stop ex-militants’ meeting –Presidency


The Presidency on Friday said there was no plan to disrupt a meeting of top ex-Niger Delta militants previously scheduled to hold in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on Saturday (today).

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, disclosed this in an interview with Saturday PUNCH.

One of the top ex-militants in the Niger Delta, Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo), had on Thursday called the ex-commanders of militant groups in the oil rich region to an urgent and “crucial” meeting.

There has been apprehension that the meeting could lead to another violent protest in the Niger Delta.

But Adesina told Saturday PUNCH that the government would not stop the meeting because of its respect for the freedom of association.

When asked to comment on the fact that the meeting was convened amidst complaints of perceived neglect of the Niger Delta amnesty programme by the present administration, the presidential spokesperson said he would not pre-empt the meeting.

He said he would make a comment when the meeting comes out with a resolution and he felt he must react to it.

Adesina said, “Let us not pre-empt that meeting. Let it hold because there is freedom of association.

“When they meet and come out with a position, if there is the need to respond, we will do so.

“This is a democracy. We will not stop them.

Those creek boys? The president is in d least worried about those boys as they are nothing but paperweights. Trust me

They try nonsense, they fall unapologetically. I'm sure they are very much aware of this fact too.

US has refused to sell arms to nigeria's military. Don't you think the federal government trying to interupt this meeting would compound nigeria's woes?

Wasn't expecting he would do that in the first place. Unless he wants to add a bigger problem to falling Naira and Boko-rams.

Journalism in Nigeria is now a form of blackmail ,rumor mongering and character assassination .

I won't be surprised tomorrow if Buhar denies this !

There's so much uneccessary nuisances in this country that is keeping Nigeria from facing its true priorities and moving forward, instead Nigeria keeps moving round in circles.

Am telling you Nigeria is a federation and if the federal government decide to stop the meeting there is nothing any militant can do about it... ..

they shall gather but if the gathering is not of God (i.e progress of this nation) it shall not stand.


but i wonder how long this militants want nigeria to keep spoon feeding them....when real graduates can't find jobs and states can't even pay salaries....kids are being thrown out of school and fathers are afraid to go home.
