Violent Agitation Won't Stop Until Confab Report Is Implemented: IYC by iflywithbuhari(f): 8:11pm On May 30, 2016
Leading organization, the Ijaw youth
Council Worldwide, has
warned that violent agitation
in the country will not stop
until President Muhammadu
Buhari puts machinery in
place for the relevant
constitutional amendment to
ensure the practice of true
federalism or he immediately
starts to implement the
resolutions of the 2014
National Conference.
The IYC insisted that the
only solution to intermittent
crisis in the Niger Delta
region, which has led to a
resurgence in attacks on oil
installations by militant
groups, is for the Buhari-led
government to address the
resource control and
ownership question.
President Muhammadu Buhari
IYC's position was contained
in a communique signed by
its President, Comrade
Udengs Eradiri, and
spokesman, Eric Omare, at a
one-day stakeholders'
conference to mark the end
of the month-long activities
in honour of Major Jasper
Adaka Boro, the spiritual
figure of Niger Delta
resistance. The event had
as theme " The Ideals of
Isaac Boro and the Renewed
Militancy in the Niger Delta:
The Way Forward."
The IYC observed that the
renewed militancy in the
region was caused by the
same issues that sparked
the late Boro’s struggles,
which cumulated in the 12-
day revolution in the 1960s.

the 2009 Presidential
Amnesty Programme brought

Isaac Adaka Boro,an ijaw nationalist formed the Niger Delta volunteer force to agitate for the control of Niger delta resources.He was subsequently killed by the inaction and action of Col.Benjamin Adenkule during the biafra war by sending him to the hottest part of the war front.
Today mark the final day for his remembrance day celebration. NO Nigeria army nor Nigeria police stopped that occasion
Today the southeast is doing 49th years of remembrance of their falling heroes in peacefull way just like Nigeria's army has being doing their arm forces remembrance day.
Why the fuss,molestation,killing,and arrest of these peacefull gatherings.
Can't any thing be achieved in this adminstraction without brutal force used on the citizens.Am just thinking aloud.This might degenerate to a state of anarchy and revolution.When people has being pushed to wall.

#REALTALK. The IYC is right A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ wrong at the sametime. The Confab report would promote peace, competition A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ unity, but would also promote division, feudal lords, economic sabotage, jealousy, corruption A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ disintegration.

THE FULL REPORT

Leading Ijaw youth organization, the Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, has warned that violent agitation in the country will not stop until President Muhammadu Buhari puts machinery in place for the relevant constitutional amendment to ensure the practice of true federalism or he immediately starts to implement the resolutions of the 2014 National Conference.

The IYC insisted that the only solution to intermittent crisis in the Niger Delta region, which has led to a resurgence in attacks on oil installations by militant groups, is for the Buhari-led government to address the resource control and ownership question.
IYC's position was contained in a communique signed by its President, Comrade Udengs Eradiri, and spokesman, Eric Omare, at a one-day stakeholders' conference to mark the end of the month-long activities in honour of Major Jasper Adaka Boro, the spiritual figure of Niger Delta resistance. The event had as theme " The Ideals of Isaac Boro and the Renewed Militancy in the Niger Delta: The Way Forward."

The IYC observed that the renewed militancy in the region was caused by the same issues that sparked the late Boro’s struggles, which cumulated in the 12-day revolution in the 1960s.

The group noted that while the 2009 Presidential Amnesty Programme brought temporary peace to the Niger Delta region, the crucial issues of resource control and true federalism, the basis for the agitation, were not addressed after the cessation of hostilities.

Among others things, the IYC observed that steps so far taken by the Buhari administration have undermined the interest of the Niger Delta region. These, said the IYC, include the removal of the 10% community development equity share from the Petroleum Industry Bill.

IYC, in its resolutions, emphasized that the attempt by the federal government to award pipeline surveillance contracts to ex-militants will end attacks on oil facilities. It maintained that once issue of resource ownership and control is addressed, people in communities with oil pipelines and facilities will feel an obligation to protect what is their communities.

It, however, added that the award of surveillance contracts, which it said is a palliative measure, should be given to contractors where such facilities are located and they should be held liable for any breach of contract.

The conference criticized the All Progressives Congress-led federal government for politicizing the issues affecting the region instead of dealing with the stakeholders on how to resolve the already delicate situation.

It urged President Buhari to stop treating the Niger Delta region as a conquered territory, emphasizing its belief in a united Nigeria where every part of the country would be treated equally, irrespective of their contribution to his electoral victory.

The group frowned at the speculated cancellation of the Maritime University, Okerenkoko in Delta State, which it said was one of the conditions for ex-agitators to accept amnesty in 2009.

The conference condemned Buhari's silence on the issue of the Maritime University, despite protests. It urged the federal government to calm nerves of stakeholders in the region by directing the already constituted university governing council to commence academic activities without delay.

The communique also noted that the conference resolved that the renewed militancy in the region is partly an indication of failings in the amnesty programme and therefore called on the federal government to review the programme to address all the issues affecting the successful implementation of the programme.

IYC also vowed to resist any attempt to single out former President Goodluck Jonathan for arrest and humiliation over allegations of corruption. It urged Buhari to accord Jonathan the same respect accorded other former presidents or probe all former presidents, including Ibrahim Babangida, Abdulsalam Abubakar and Olusegun Obasanjo.

The conference maintained that Buhari's anti-corruption war is selective, the evidence of which is his failure to probe of the Halliburton scandal.

The constitutional amendment is ongoing
Please tell ur repsentatives to pass that into the budget
If memory serves me right, it was the plan to send it to the national assembly to be used as constitutional amendment guideline
How can Buhari implement the Confab report?? Is he the national assembly??
If they put it in the constitution, even if he refuses to sign it they can veto it
Even some foolish Lawers are joining in this call smh

It seems more unnecessary and avoidable deaths might not stop until people learn to be civil in their agitations.

An indispensable tool in the army during the civil war, just like alabi isama. Yakubu Gowon played him well.
Enlist, use, and discard.
