Pro-Buhari group urges Niger Delta leaders to present harmonised demands

*Urges Zone’s Elders To Pacify Aggrieved Groups
A Pro-Buhari group, the Buhari Media Support Group (BMSG) has canvassed a common endeavour among the aggrieved militant groups in the Niger Delta for the success of the on-going dialogue between the Federal Government and leaders from the zone on the aegis of Pan Niger Delta Development Forum (PANDEF).

In a joint statement signed by the group’s coordinator, Muhammad Labbo and Secretary, Cassidy Maduke, in Abuja yesterday, said the dialogue was needed towards ensuring amicable resolution of crisis in the region.

The leaders and stakeholders from the South-South region presented 16-point demand on behalf of the region to President Buhari as the panacea to ending restiveness in the Niger Delta area. BMSG noted that the line of dialogue, which the federal government opened with PANDEF, is germane on the need to end hostilities in the Niger Delta.

It hails the primary success that trailed the meeting between President Buhari and the leaders from Niger Delta; nothing that both the youths and the leaders need to work in synergy to crown all efforts towards ensuring the on-going dialogue produces very positive results.

BMSG, against this background, urges the plethora of militant groups to harmonise their demands and present a common position before the Federal Government through the elders who participated in the dialogue with the President. BMSG said it would be counter-productive for the aggrieved Niger Delta militants to work at cross-purposes, while singing discordant tunes against every effort aimed towards addressing hostilities in the region.
