PAP: Don’t reappoint Ndiomu for inciting fresh hostility in N/Delta -Group tells Bola Tinubu

•As Bobo says attacks against Ndiomu frivolous, ill-motivated

By Sola Omoniyi, Lagos

Concerned Niger Delta -Ex-agitators have called on the president-elect Bola Tinubu not to renew the appointment of the Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Barry Ndiomu for allegedly inciting unrest in the region.

Though, this had been faulted by the National Leader of the Third Phase of Ex-Agitators of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Comrade Tonye Bobo, in a statement on Saturday, stating that the claims that about 3,000 delegates under the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) had been suspended were frivolous and fraudulent.

He added that the claims were being made by criminally minded agitators and their collaborators to cause disaffection and paint the leadership of the PAP in bad light.

But in a statement by General God’swill Igbetamah leader of the concerned ex-fighters which a copy was sent to Congress correspondent on Friday said Ndiomu is provoking and inciting fresh hostility in Niger Delta for refusing to pay over thirty thousand ex-agitators in the guise of multiple BVN.

The protesting ex-agitators had accused Ndiomu of conniving with some Aso Rock cabals to share the money meant for the suspended accounts belonging to Niger Delta ex-agitators.

Igbetamah said the ex-agitators had been pushed to the wall and now ready to return to the creek to continue with what they know best to do.

He emphasized that the action of Ndiomu showed that he is an enemy of Niger Delta region, adding that he should not be reappointed as coordinator in the amnesty programme.

The ex-agitators’ leader Igbetamah said there is already tension in the region resulting from the Ndiomu’s failure to pay over 3000 suspended ex-militant accounts.

He said, “Ndiomu is not a reformer, he is selfish, and has betrayed the course of the Niger Delta. He is trying to create more problem before leaving office. Nigeria government should not allow Ndiomu to disorganize the prevailing peace in the region”.
