Ignore calls to scrap amnesty programme, Ijaw youths tell Tinubu

The Ijaw Youths Network has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to disregard calls from certain stakeholders advocating for the termination of the Presidential Amnesty Programme .

The IYN’s response was prompted by comments by one Frank Tietie, who alleged on national television that the PAP was corrupt and ineffective despite the substantial financial investment by the federal government. “What the Niger Delta and indeed the country need at this point is unity and concerted efforts for development. As a region, we have suffered too much and cannot afford these antics that have held us down.

“While we do not want to jump to accuse anybody of selective amnesia, we cannot forget in a hurry that, at the peak of the armed struggle before the proclamation of the Presidential Amnesty in 2009, those calling for the scrapping of the program tagged the ex-agitators and their Ijaw ethnic nationality as troublemakers.
