Support For Buhari’s Administration: Group Commends Ateke Tom’s Stand


The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation a socio political group based in the Niger Delta region has hailed the leader of the Niger Delta Vigilante Force High Chief Ateke Tom over his call on Nigerians to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. The group said while some ex militants have made it their stock in trade to work against the policies of the Federal Government, High Chief Ateke Tom has occupied himself with patriotic activities aimed at supporting the present administration at the centre and building confidence for the government.
The former freedom fighter had in an interview in a national newspaper called on Nigerians to support the President in order to move the country forward. He had also urged the National Assembly to work in harmony with the executive in order to drive home the campaign promises of President Muhammadu Buhari a stance the NDRO said is commendable.
The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation through its National Secretary and Legal Adviser Barr. Kingsley Frank said such a patriotic call should be heeded by well-meaning Nigerians in order to ensure the growth and development of the country. The group said it was wrong of Nigerians to be working against the President at this point in time when his administration is yet to clock a year in office. The group said it is regrettable that some persons who called themselves ex militant leaders will be threatening to go back to the creeks to agitate against the Federal Government under Muhammadu Buhari. “If they did not go back to the creeks when our brother was in power is it justifiable that they make such calls now that somebody else is in power?” the group queried.
The NDRO said it is imperative that Nigerians learn to differentiate between governance and politics. It stressed that politics is over as far as the government at the center is concerned. “What we should understand is that politics is over as far as the Federal Government is concerned. What we need now is good governance and we must learn to give the present administration a benefit of doubt if we want them to get it right. This is why we are commending the stance of the likes of Ateke Tom who has kicked against the call from some quarters that militants get back to the creeks”.

The group said it will be wrong to call on youths to go back to the creeks because it will not be either in their best interest or that of the region. It urged the Federal Government to continue with programmes that will help develop the Niger Delta region and its people stressing that with such programmes and policies, the government will endear itself to the people of the region.

Sen. Magnus Abe's Courageous Fight For Rivers Brick House

Ab e' Today Rivers people especially majority of faithful of the All Progressives Congress APC defied the heavy down pour in Port Harcourt to show solidarity for Sen. Magnus Abe and the direct primaries in the state which has been kicked against by the Rotimi Amaechi faction of the party in the state. This support which was massive and highly successful  buttressed the position of the over 148,000 people that caste  their votes on the direct primaries which held in the state on the 30th of September 2018. Rivers people on that   fateful day showed that they wanted the right man for the job in defiance of the foisting of an unknown candidate chosen from the blues to fly the flag of the party. The solidarity which the people of the state and APC members showed for the Ogoni born Senator has to be respected by the party unlike what is happening today where the party seems to be favouring the emergence of Tonye Cole all in the bid to please the former governor of t...
