Nigerians are advocating for the President to seek the help of the former Governor of Delta State Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan to solve the problems of Bombings in the Niger-Delta Region. This call is coming at a time of increased bombings of oil facilities by Niger-Delta Militants, which is bedeviling our economy.
A Group, The Niger-Delta Deliberators made up of Niger-Delta Professionals and Community Leaders has called on the President to seek the help of Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan to help arrest the spate of bombings on oil facilities. In a press statement signed by the Publicity Secretary Donald Igudia from Delta State and the Coordinator Ken Okorodas from Bayelsa State, the group stated that most Niger-Delta indigenes are clamoring for the former Governor of Delta State to help the Federal Government salvage the oil industry by assisting the Federal Government to engage the militants in a genuine dialogue to end the bombings.
They also said that DR. UDUAGHAN is one man whose constant engagement with militants on several occasions as Secretary to State Government and Governor yielded great results. They further stated that the Federal Government committee on resolving the Niger-Delta crisis should be headed by Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan.
They pointed out that the former Governor understands the psychic of the youths of the Niger-Delta and the Niger-Delta terrain very well. They also called on the former Governor to still continue to serve the people through his wealth of experience by helping the current Government to end pockets of crises in the Niger-Delta region and the Nation in General. They further advised the people of Delta South Senatorial District of the Delta State to project the Governor as their representative in the Red chambers for a wonderful representation in 2019.
In their final statement, they encouraged Niger-Delta people to support the Anti-corruption crusade of President Muhamadu Buhari, stating that corruption is one of the major factors that has kept the Niger Delta Region under developed for so long.
