We Did'nt Hold Meeting With Kwachiku by harlexkofi: 6:22pm On Jun 17, 2016 |
ASABA- NIGER Delta Avengers, NDA,
Friday, described as false, report that it
participated in closed-door meeting
with the Minister of Petroleum
Resources, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, Wednesday,
at Asaba, Delta State.
The group in a tweet, Friday, debunked
the online report, saying that it did not
hold any dialogue with the minister.
It stated that anybody that claimed to
have represented it at the meeting was
a "political jobber."
Vanguard learnt that the minister only
met with stakeholders from the
riverside areas of the state, especially
the troubled Gbaramatu Kingdom and
other parts of Warri South West local
government area.
Among those at the meeting were the
state governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa,
chairman of the Delta Waterways and
Land Security Committee, Chief Boro
Opudu, Commissioner Mofe Pirah, who
is in charge of Oil and Gas and Mr. David
Tonwe, a senior aide to the governor on
security.
Others at the meeting were Chief
Godspower Gbenekama, Chief Daniel
Ekpebide, who represented Gbaramatu
kingdom. Chief Ayiri Emami
representative of Itsekiri ethnic group,
while Chief Michael Johnny, an
Okerenkoko leader, who with Emami,
had been very vocal against the NDA,
were also at the meeting.
The meeting discussed the bombings
and other related issues in the area, and
as tension rose, the minister said he
came to listen and know the way out.
In all, the stakeholders agreed on the
need for peace to reign and the
militants to stop bombing pipelines.
Because of the observed antagonism
among the leaders, the governor was
advised to set up a reconciliation
committee to amicably settle the
differences among them.
The leaders, who attended the meeting
declined comments when approached
by Saturday Vanguard, but none claimed
to have represented Avengers |
