Niger Delta Avengers Urged To Be Patient With FG by adebisiseun2(m): 9:38am On Nov 05, 2017 |
The Niger Delta Avengers has been urged to call
its members to sheath their swords, hours after
the militant group issued threats to resume
attacks on oil facilities in the region.
One of the elders in the region and the spokesperson
for Gbaramatu Kingdom, Godspower Gbenekama,
made the appeal after a closed-door meeting with
the Deputy Governor of Delta State, Kingsley Otuaro,
on Saturday in Asaba.
Gbenekama asked the group to give the Federal
Government more time to fulfil its promises to the
people of the region.
He, however, blamed the government for not
keeping its promises to the requests made by the
people which he said was contained in the 16-point
agenda of the Pan Niger Delta Elders’ Forum
(PANDEF).
“The issues are not leadership issues, PANDEF
articulated the issues and as at then, everybody
agreed,” he said. If the Federal Government has
started meeting those demands one after the other,
these threats would not have resurfaced.
“The Ogoni cleanup for instance, take off the
Maritime University which the Vice President
disclosed that N2bn has been approved but up till
now, we have nothing.”
Gbenekama also warned that the threats must not
be treated with levity and urged the government to
move swiftly to avert what he described as the
‘dangers’ ahead.
He said, “Threats like these are not empty ones, the
Federal Government must, therefore, do the needful
by addressing some of these concerns.
“We cannot do much, the only thing we can do is
beg these faceless youths to be patient with the
Federal Government.” |
