Olambo said already one self-styled Chairman of Second Phase ex-agitators, John Esuku, had allegedly been recruited by his paymasters to drive the Dikio must go campaign. “Having found Dikio spotless, accountable and transparent in all his dealings especially in the management of PAP funds, they resorted to flying a lame kite that he was the reason behind the increase in oil theft in the region for not paying some ghost names their amnesty stipends.
“Besides, we observed as Dikio totally changed the orientation of ex-agitators, who now see themselves as change agents and partners with the Federal Government in sustaining the peace in the Niger Delta. Olambo insisted that those behind the smear campaign were simply pushing an agenda to kick Dikio out of the way to enable them have unfettered access to the coffers of PAP to fund their 2023 ambitions at the detriment of the ex-agitators and the ongoing peace-building in the Niger Delta.
