Ministerial list: Niger-Delta ex-agitators hail Buhari

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.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body.
