President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to threat by militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, to attack oil facilities in the region.
Adesina reiterated Buhari’s speech saying that the call for restructuring of the federation and the inauguration of a Board for the Niger Delta Development Commission has been responded to. “As the symbol of the collective voice of the Ijaw people, which is one of Nigeria’s main ethnic groups, the existence of a focused and people oriented leadership would go a long way in articulating the demands of the Ijaw people and making sure these demands are made part of the national discourse.
“In addressing your call for immediate restructuring, the National Assembly whose responsibility it is to ensure that our constitution responds to the call for a restructured Nigeria, has already concluded regional consultations and as soon as they finalise the process, necessary action would not be delayed on my part.
“A contentious issue that has been a subject of discourse amongst the Ijaw people of recent has been the need for the Niger Delta Development Commission to live up to its billing by delivering the required succour to the people of the region. Based on the mismanagement that had previously be-devilled the NDDC, a forensic audit was set up and the result is expected by the end of July, 2021.

The president respect so much the Niger deltans, the Ijaws and the Avengers.. the fear of what they can do.. more reason he said South East is Landlocked and that the SS has assured him they are not part of Biafra agitation
It takes a treat for the President to remember his promise, what a shame. Obviously, he is not interested in the region and sorry to say that the people from the region can be bought with money.
GarShehu should stop deceiving Nigerians
