NDDC: Niger Delta Peace Advocates warns against threat to peace

The Niger Delta Peace Advocates has warned against threat to peace in the Niger Delta region.

The decision was taken at an emergency meeting in Port Harcourt.

The group warned those it called “faceless individuals” against activities that are inimical to the peace of the oil-rich region.

It condemned the recent attack on Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Managing Director Dr. Samuel Ogbuku and other leaders of the intervention agency.

Dr. Ogbuku enjoys the support of true civil society groups, ex-agitators, and community leaders who are committed to development, not chaos. Under his leadership, the NDDC has aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, bringing sustainable progress to our people.

The statement signed by the group’s President Ebianga Imomotomi, said: “These disgruntled elements, primarily based in Warri, have no legitimacy, no capacity to mobilize, and no genuine interest in the welfare of our people. Their agenda is nothing more than an ill-conceived attempt to cause unrest and extort money from unsuspecting individuals and institutions.

“Any attempt to take to the streets to foment trouble will be met with decisive action. The Niger Delta Peace Advocates stands firmly with security agencies in ensuring that peace is not compromised. We caution these elements to abandon their plans immediately, as any disruption of public order will attract the full weight of the law.

“Parents and guardians must warn their wards not to be lured into becoming tools for these fraudulent actors. The Niger Delta has moved past the era of blackmail, intimidation, and fake activism.

“We, the Niger Delta Peace Advocates, reaffirm our support for stability, good governance, and constructive engagement. Those who seek to disrupt our peace must desist immediately, or face the consequences of their actions.”
