The statement said, “While we are indeed extremely grateful to Mr President for setting up a high powered committee, with forthright and astute gentlemen to investigate the functions of the programme that will swiftly look into all the petitions and prayers raised by the aggrieved ex-agitators and prefer meaningful and lasting solutions since we cannot continue living like refuges in Abuja

“We use this medium to thank the National Security Adviser, NSA, Mr President and the Committee saddle with the responsibility of unearthing the inconsistencies and irregularities that characterized the previous leadership.

“We strongly hope that their findings would bring the needed change that would bring smiles to the faces of the ex-agitators as some of the evidence before us, is that some of those, whose accounts were locked by the previous leadership have been re-opened and their salaries paid, with the assurance of being paid their arrears in due course.’’

This is a clear indication that the struggle is not for rascality, but for a purpose in which we all stood for.
