MILITANTS in the Niger Delta, yesterday, insisted on a meeting with acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, if his recent fact finding visit to the region was to achieve its desired aim.
According to them: “The visit of the acting President did not carry along the agitators in the arrangements. Those who matter most in this fact-finding mission are the armed and the unarmed youths who are in the forefront of the agitation. They are the ones that have the capacity to do harm to the economy of the nation and yet, the government, in collaboration with their political parties, is alienating and shielding these potent forces from the acting President. “Let it be known to the acting President that his fact-finding visit can only be meaningful when he hears from the agitators or their representatives. We demand that the acting President should invite the representatives of agitating groups to give first-hand information to him, as this will bring the desired long lasting peace to the region.”
