There are indications that ex-militants that were granted presidential amnesty by the late president Yar'dua's government are currently regrouping and attacking oil facilities within the Niger Delta especially in Delta State. So far the facilities of the Nigerian Gas Company, Chevron NIGERIA Limited and NECONDE among others have been destroyed. These latest attacks are apparently as a result of the region losing the 2015 presidential election and last Thursday’s order by a Federal High Court for the arrest of Tompolo in connection with an alleged N34billion fraud. There are also fears that the situation may escalate to neighbouring states in the Niger Delta. Recall that in 2009 amnesty was granted to militants in the Niger Delta region following massive attacks on oil facilities that drastically reduced foreign exchange earnings from crude oil, a natural resource that the Nigerian economy largely relies on. But with the latest dispositions by the ex-militants and the roles they have played in executing electoral violence and malpractices so far, can we confidently say that the amnesty programme has achieved its set objectives? Obviously it appears the ex-militants have only ended up accumulating more sophisticated armoury to cause more maybe in the region. It may interest you to know that the presidency has spent over $2Billion Dollars on the amnesty programme. This has ended in enriching just a few people in the Niger Delta while majority of Niger Deltans remain impoverished and the region remain polluted and underdeveloped. I wish the amount spent on the amnesty programme so far were channelled diligently into cleaning the polluted Niger Delta region and financing her infrastructural and human development. If serious and decisive steps aren't taken by the leaders of the Niger Delta and the Nigerian government, we may be heading for another round of insurgency which will be of serious consequences to Nigeria especially as she is currently battling with terrorism in the North. The ex-militants have no moral justification to return to the creeks or bomb oil installations now. They must not put innocent dwellers in their villages and neighbourhood into danger. They must be called to order, lest we start foul cry when the Federal Government begins to implement the other side of the amnesty deed. Nobody is bigger than Nigeria Nobody can hold Nigeria ransom.
