National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators, NCNDE-A has
thrown its weight behind President Muhammadu Buhari’s minister.
The group noted that the nominees undergoing screening at
the Senate are well deserved.
The group’s National President, Mr Israel Akpodoro, stated
this in Abuja at a meeting held by some ex-agitator from the Niger Delta to
continue showing up their support to Buhari-led administration.
According to the group, the painstaking efforts by the
president at building a new Nigeria was evident in his choice of ministers,
adding that the names as made public by the Senate President, Senator Bukola
Saraki, was a proof to making Nigeria great once again.
“It is indeed, another gesture from Mr. President on his
commitments to move this nation forward, because, on the list, were those
political personalities and technocrats who have lived above destructive
sentiments in their efforts for building a virile nation for all Nigerians,” he
said.
However, the Coalition called on President Buhari to redeem
his promise to empower those youth who worked for him before, during and after
the elections.
He said that having
brought change to bear in Nigeria’s political space, especially of Niger Delta
extraction, those who risked all they had for the emergence of the president
should be rewarded.
He said: “As at the time I led my group in August last year
in furtherance to my solidarity for our today’s president in 2015, we worked
and achieved result therefore, the president owe us a duty not only to empower
us but to encourage the Nigerian youth to stand up for what/who they believe in
without fear or trepidations,” he added.
