Dokubo’s Sack: Niger Delta Ex-Militant Leaders Commend President Buhari

Ex-militant leaders from the nine states of the Niger Delta region have described as “expected” and “commendable” the sack of the erstwhile Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Professor Charles Dokubo by President Muhammadu Buhari, declaring that the decision showed the present administration has the interest of the region at heart.

The Ex-militant leaders under the aegis of the Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiative (LPCDI) said the sack of Dokubo was long overdue, saying it has shown that the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno has the interest of the Amnesty programme at heart and they are ready to support him at any time the need may arise .

In statement issued in Yenagoa and signed by its President, Clifford Reuben, aka Pastor Reuben, the ex-agitators passed a vote of confidence on Moguno and urged him to have an audience with them so as to lend their advice on the best way to rejig the programme to its original intent.

“We want to assure you of our total support on the success of the Amnesty and that we can bring an end to all acrimony surrounding fictitious groups and criminal elements that are always dragging the programme backward for selfish gains because as it stands, nobody can handle the programme without involving the critical stakeholders who understand the programme from the onset.”

“It is germane that the new Amnesty office should be presided over by those that will not rubbish the achievement recorded by the President Buhari administration in the Niger Delta and also we are ready to work and give the committee all necessary assistance.”
