On the filip of painstaking efforts by those ex-agitators in the Niger Delta region who stood their grounds to ensure victory for the then candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC yielded the desired victory, the main actors are yet to be accorded their dues in the scheme of things.

It was jubilation that ushered in President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory at the heels of 28th march, 2015, election across all ethnic divides in the country including the people of the Delta region.

The mantra, Change like wild fire burnt across the Delta area of Nigeria irrespective of the fact that the actors of the then drowning Peoples Democratic Party, PDP-led administration had majority of its sons and daughter albeit lopsidedly from one tribe in the region.

It was a morbid risk taken by few of the ex-niger Delta militants that coasted victory home for the APC and it's presidential candidate at the polls defiling efforts by the PDP brigands to undermine the support for President Buhari struggle.

The south-south zone was targeted by the PDP as it's stranglehold where all shades of electoral crimes were perpetrated brooding no opposition but like the Rock of Gibraltar, the National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Militants, NCNDE-A with Generals Israel Akpodoro ably supported by
Africa Akpariasa, resisted all efforts to undermine the genuine interest and desired change of the people by the marauding PDP hooligans.

On so many occasions, in a Commando fashion, the leadership of NCNDE-A were hounded into security facilities incommunicado after they escaped several armed attacks in the hands of the PDP thugs who were bent on extinguishing the oxygen of their lives.

Notable among the personalities were Akpodoro and Africa who were whisked away from the comfort of their homes at wee hours severally by agents of the past administration in the manner reminiscence of the dark days of the dark goggled General Sani Abacha.

These were few actions amongst others targeted at the group, of course, they took morbid risk and now they must be rewarded in a manner capable of not only to instill confidence in them another day but as a reward for being patriotic to the Nigerian state in the spirit of solidarity to the Nigerian people.

Founded for the purpose of anchoring a peaceful, non violent campaign for peace, cooperation, enlightenment, sensitisation, of the people of the Delta region, NCNDE-A, draws it's membership from across all ethnic nationalities, clans, villages, kingdoms across the region. They individually are men and women of high moral standards who relish integrity on the vehicle of spartern self discipline with virulent hate for violent approach to issues.

The Coalition shares it's values in its determination for a better, stronger, more developed...region within the shortest possible time frame by the Nigerian state riding on vehicle of equity, honesty and fairplay to nations in the region in the most peaceful manner.

For that reason,the Coalition adopted Buhari because of the zeal, passion, commitment and competence he-Buhari exuded as a military head of state.

In view of the foregoing, it becomes imperative for the Buhari-led APC federal government to identify and patronise members of the Coalition who refused to be bullied into abandoning their faith in the party and it's candidate bearing in mind that only failure is an orphan while success has many children.

Akpodoro and Akpariasa represent the true face of ex-agitators through whom the current administration should effectively manage the affairs of ex-militants in the region.

The duo are selfless individuals who are noted for their genuine struggle to enthrone purposeful leadership in the country‎ without let or hindrance.

The brainchild of the late President Umaru Yar'Adua-amnesty program shouldn't be left in the hands of those never-do-wells to manage but men of impeccable character whose hallmark is integrity.

NCNDE-A led by the duo of Akpariasa and Akpodoro have on several occasions assured Nigerians of goodwill that on no account would ex-militants return to the creeks and that the Coalition prides itself above confrontation of any type with the federal government of Nigeria which also underscores the imperatives of anchoring the process of furthering the amnesty program on the coalition for a more meaningful and result oriented program.

OK we hear u oga no cry again.. ... Baba will read this I will make sure of that

There is nothing Baba will hear. The reason why Nigerians voted for change is to do away with corruption, mediocrity and impunity. Therefore, no group should expect patronage or royalty payments which are grand children of corruption and impunity. Be prepared for New Nigeria.
