“I want to appeal to the Niger Delta Avengers to give peace a chance and adopt dialogue. I know that the people of the Region are tired of the failed promises of the Federal Government, but dialogue remains the best option and that is why I am pleading with the militant group not to strike again at oil facilities. We have enjoyed relative peace since the declaration of ceasefire by the Niger Delta Avengers. Oil production has picked up since the militant group pulled out of the Creeks, I want to appeal that the prevailing peace should be sustained no matter the vexed issues in the Region begging for the attention of the Federal Government”, the Hostcom Chairman said.

According to him; “The Federal Government should stop reneging on its promises to the people of the Region.Now that the Government is making so much money again as a result of the peace embraced by militants in the Region, there is the need for the Government to reciprocate the gesture by doing the needful for the poverty-stricken people of the Region because the people are running out of patience by the day”.
