Ex.Niger Delta Militant turn billionaire has express his opinion by urging President-elect Gen Buhari to scrap the ongoing Amnesty programme initiated by Late President Musa Yar Adua.
The Itsekiri former warlord, and former PDP chieftain now an APC chieftain on Thursday ask Buhari to probe the operation of the amnesty programme.
“If the layman’s understanding of the word amnesty is anything to go by, then it presupposes an arrangement where militants who genuinely turn in all their arms and ammunition are rehabilitated, re-oriented and trained with a view to reintegrating them to everyday societal living.
“In the ordinary sense of it, any person or group that picks up arms in the name of struggle or agitation ought to have been treated as terrorists, hence nobody or group should take the gesture of the federal government for granted.
“Amnesty should not be continuous; partially giving out money to youths from a particular ethnic nationality is wrong, sending some of them abroad for training without any visible impact on the Niger Delta and the nation at large is counter-productive,” he said.
This may be a reaction to the ijaw youth asking for a continuation of the amnesty program
