Aggrieved ex-agitators from Niger Delta States have threatened to disrupt the peace in the region following failure of their governors to provide

The ex-agitators under the auspices of Coalition of Ex-agitators of Niger Delta, CEND, said their governors seemed to have diverted the money released by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to alleviate the suffering caused by the removal of fuel subsidy.

“Where are our palliatives?” Gershom queried, insisting that there was no deliberate activities and programmes by the governors targeted at providing reliefs to the people. “We expected the governor’s to have started deliberate programmes aimed at reaching the people with palliatives. We expected them to add a reasonable amount of money to the N5bn and float far-reaching programmes that will practically ameliorate the pains of the people. But they are less concerned. We can see what the Borno Governor is doing for his people but our entire region is quiet”.
