Report has it that the
special adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Coordinator of the Niger Delta
Presidential Amnesty Programme, Brigadier General P.T. Boroh (Rtd), has
relocated to the creeks of the region.
This might not be
unconnected to the recent activities of the Niger Delta Avengers.
According to some
sources the Amnesty Boss was sighted having interactions in Rivers, Delta and
Edo states on the same day.
The source noted: “over
the past couple of days, Gen Boroh has had various meetings with ex agitators
and beneficiaries of the amnesty programme in the region. This vigorous touring
might be evidence of the Federal Governments readiness to dialogue with the
Avengers.”
It would be recalled
that the Niger Delta Avengers have been targeting oil and gas installations in
the region, in a bid to cripple the economy and bring the Buhari led federal
government to its knees. How the strategy of the retired General will play out,
is something the whole country will be eager to find out.
