Repentant Niger-Delta militants, under the umbrella of the Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators, NCNDE-A, have applauded President Muhammadu Buhari over the choice of his ministers.
They noted that the nominees currently undergoing screening at the Senate were well qualified.
National President of NCNDE-A, Mr Israel Akpodoro, who stated this yesterday in Abuja at a meeting held by some of the ex-agitators, expressed their determination to continue showing support for the Buhari-led administration.
The group noted that the painstaking efforts of Buhari in building a new Nigeria was evident in his choice of ministers, adding that the names as made public by the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, was a sign that Nigeria would be great again.
“It is indeed, another gesture from Mr. President on his commitments to move this nation forward, because, on the list, are those political personalities and technocrats who have lived above destructive sentiments in their efforts for building a virile nation for all Nigerians,” Akpodoro said.
The coalition, however, urged President Buhari to redeem his promise to empower those youths, who worked for him before, during and after the elections.
It noted that having brought change to bear in Nigeria’s political space, especially of Niger Delta extraction, those who risked all they had for the emergence of the president, should be rewarded.
In his words: “As at the time I led my group in August last year, in furtherance to my solidarity for our today’s president in 2015, we worked and achieved result; therefore, the President owes us a duty not only to empower us but to encourage the Nigerian youths to stand up for what/who they believe in without fear or trepidations.”
