group to Buhari The statement read: “President
Buhari knows what exactly he
needs to do to end the crisis
today, if he so desires. He
probably has not because he
has allowed his administration to be beset with too many petty
rivalries, too many individuals
jockeying for putative relevance
and too many party chieftains
from Niger Delta who don’t
have the interests of the region at heart. “We worked with other well-
meaning Niger Delta indigenes,
interfaced with patriotic
members of the President’s
inner cabinet and intelligence
chieftains on the proposal, which has been submitted to
the president. “Armed agitators in the creeks,
the international community,
including the United Kingdom
(UK) and the United States of
America (USA) as well as other
interested Nigerians, like Nobel Laureate Professor Wole
Soyinka, are privy to the
proposal. “The proposal is hinged on four
vital prerequisites: the
affirmation by Mr. President
that there is no change in
policy on the need to begin the
matriculation of students this year in the National Maritime
University at Okerenkoko, Delta
State; the rebirth of the Niger
Delta Council, with its five
relevant sub-committees of the
late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s 2009 template; the
guarantee of safe passage for
delegates to any dialogue
location, after all armed parties
publicly agree to a 60-day
Armistice to be proposed by the federal government and the
attendance of foreign
observers, including diplomats
from the European Union (EU),
UK and USA, to be invited by
the government to any such dialogue.” UNDEDSS had last month proffer
a list of solutions to the crisis plaguing the Niger Delta region. According to the group, the
crisis in the Niger Delta could be
brought to a quick resolution,
the moment President
Muhammadu Buhari personally
chair the dialogue team and also appoint credible Special
Adviser from the region. The group in its statement also
urged the federal government
to re-establish the Niger Delta
Committee/Council that operated
five sub-Committees with the
aim of addressing arms agitation in the region. Militants in the Niger Delta
region especially the Niger Delta
Avengers have been blowing up
pipelines in the region and have
vowed to continue with this
destruction until zero oil is produced in the region.
