The Presidency on Friday,
explained that top political
office holders in the
President Muhammadu
Buhari-led Federal
Government from the Niger
Delta region, have started
peaceful dialogue with their
kith and kins who are
involved in the spate of
ongoing bombings of oil
facilities in the area.
The Senior Special Assistant
to the President on National
Assembly Matters, Senator
Ita Enang, who gave the hint
at a news conference in
Abuja, also said that the
dialogue involved the
governors and the various
community leaders in the oil
rich region.
Enang expressed confidence
that the federal government
emissaries would achieve the
much desired peace and
restore normalcy in the
areas as soon as possible.
He also explained that the
Buhari administration was not
contemplating the use of
force to deal with the crisis,
because such action could
further reduce Nigeria’s oil
production rate from the
region..
He said, “The federal
government officials, at the
moment, are in their various
states talking not only to
their state governors but
aggrieved persons on the
way of resolving the
problems arising from
bombing of oil installations in
the Niger Delta region.
“The Minister of Niger Delta,
the Minister of Interior, the
Coordinator of the Amnesty
Office have been taking
actions consistent with their
powers and what I know, is
that almost all the ministers
and officers from the Niger
Delta region have returned
to their respective states.
“They are in their
respective zones and their
respective blocs to talk to
their leaders and their
aggrieved persons on the
need for us to maintain
peace.
“That is going on and they
are the representatives of
Mr. President. So, I will not
tell you what Mr. President
wants to do in person but
these are officers and
offices which are dealing with
this matter.
“What I know they have
done, which some of us are
involved in doing by virtue
of coming from that zone and
by virtue of working with
them, is been telling our
people that the economy of
the people is bleeding and
the nation is hemorrhaging
and that we cannot, given
the low price of oil, go on
certain actions that will
further reduce the earnings
of Nigeria.

Ok. We pray everything turn out for good.

That's a good move to Step1.

After apologizing to GEJ today, he should follow it up with an apology to the entire SE/SS for the 5% comment

Then free kanu

It will not succeed, because Buhari at the top is the problem

Why is Buhari doing this? Why is he showing cowardice when it it is time to put up a stern face. Im beginning to hate this guy. Why not deploy divisions to obliterate these worthless scoundrels?

Obliterate whom exactly? Do you know where the NDA reside? I suppose since you seem so motivated,you should go into the creeks and join the army in the fight

Government make peace not violent, stop killing the people that voted you as a president.

u're dreamin!

I pray God give the FG the wisdom to go about the whole thing amicably, because the adverse effect of these bombings will be borne by all and sundry. For example, cooking gas has just been increased by 45%. Generation of power is continually dwinde, and so on.

diz chest beater again!

An exercise in futility. No NDA member present, no deal. I'm just stating the obvious( pls don't ban me O).

Very Good Move. (VGM)

No more Jet Fighters and Bombers to subdue the dissidents?

Uncoordinated policies and policy somersault - the hallmark of Buhari's administration.

Little wonder they say Idiagbon was the brain behind Buhari's military regime between 1983 to 1985

Some people who join army have two heads baa? Kepad warrior!! You want other people to go into the creeks and die while you lie on your bad and puch commands on your phone smh!!

MUMU which arsenal.
The one used on water or where.
The one they were trained with or which one.
MUMU remember, the NDA just said yesterday that 50 got drowned cuz they lack amphibious training, and that it would've been 100 if not for the fishermen who saved their asses.
MUMU hope u understand now?

[size=15pt]Abeg what happened to the 100 gun boats, 300 jet fighter, 600 helicopters and 6,000 tanks that Buhari promised to unleash?

E be like say Bubu has been denied IMF loans to buy weapons, so he is finally sensible.

Avengers should demand 100% resource control or Sovereignity of the Niger Delta. Buhari cannot be trusted to implement any agreement once oil begins to flow again.[/size]

All those artilleries is just to scare them away cox bombing the creek will cause collateral damage to the oil installations and the cost of sustaining such war will be high.
So dialogue is the best way to go.
