Former militants deny regrouping to challenge the government

Former leaders of the Niger Delta militants have dismissed reports that they are regrouping to challenge President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

For the leaders, the only way to attract investment into Nigeria is by ensuring a violent free environment.

The Chairman of the Egbema/Gbaramatu Youth Forum, Mr Michael Bubor, debunked insinuations that the Buhari administration’s anti-corruption war was targeted at indigenes of the Ijaw nation.

Amongst other requests, he also pleaded with the Federal Government to extend the amnesty program to prevent the rebirth of militancy in the Niger Delta region.
