Gbaramatu Kingdom's Spokesperson, Godspower Gbenekama has blamed the suspension of ceasefire agreement by members of Niger Delta Avengers on the failure of the Federal Government to fulfill most of the promises it made to people of the region. Gbenekama made this known on Saturday in Asaba, after a closed door meeting with the Deputy Governor of Delta state, Kingsley Otuaro.
He claimed that though leaders in the region have continued to persuade the youths to remain peaceful, the government has failed to fulfill its promises. He listed some of the promises to include the commencement of Ogoni cleanup the commencement of full academic programme at Maritime University.
“The issues are not leadership issues, PANDEF articulated the issues and as at then, everybody agreed. The Ogoni cleanup for instance and take off the Maritime University, which the Vice President disclosed that N2bn has been approved but up till now, we have nothing.”
“Threats like these are not empty ones, the Federal Government must, therefore, do the needful by addressing some of these concerns. We cannot do much, the only thing we can do is beg these faceless youths to be patient with the Federal Government.”
Recall that on Friday, the Niger Delta Avengers suspended the ceasefire with the Federal Government and threatened to resume hostility in the region by attacking oil installations. The announcement was contained in a statement issued by NDA spokesperson, Murdoch Aginibo.
