The Forum further stated: “As a founding Member of PANDEF, Tony Uranta, in the Central Working Committee, worked assiduously, contributing to the drafting of the *“16-Point Demand”*, which embodies core and fundamental issues that cut across all segments of the Coastal States of the Niger Delta Region, which PANDEF presented to President Muhammadu Buhari on 1st November 2016, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
