false and preposterous as the faceless individuals making the claims.
He said: “The only interpretation to the action of these faceless individuals and
groups is that they are desperately trying to stoke crisis in the Niger Delta.
“They want the Buhari’s administration to further lose credibility by targeting
the only region that has remained peaceful despite the turbulence and separatist
agitations in other parts of the country.
“Using the revered traditional institutions to make false claims about one of the
most illustrious sons of the Niger Delta like Ndiomu is criminal and blackmail
taking too far. This is why we are calling on security agencies to investigate
these characters, unmask their identities and arrest them”.
Dumale said all ex-agitators were behind Ndiomu and his efficient management
of the amnesty programme especially after all their investigations into
allegations levelled against him gave him a clean bill of health.
He said traditional rulers in the Niger Delta, elders, chiefs and other
stakeholders had also thrown their weight behind Ndiomu for sanitising PAP
and sustaining the peace in the region.
Dumale said: “We, again, warn that we, the owners of PAP, will not fold our
arms and allow few unscrupulous elements, whose source of corrupt enrichment
in PA, had been blocked by Ndiomu’s ongoing reforms, to continue to stoke
crisis in the region.
“As we strive to unmask the identities of these people and their sponsors, we are
calling on the Inspector-General of Police, the National Intelligence Agency, the
Department of State Security and other security agencies to go after them.
“The scaremongering of these agents of darkness is designed to cause riot,
disrupt the mainstay of the country’s resources and disorganise the forthcoming
elections in the region.
“These people are crisis merchants, who only make money by instigating
violence. They derive pleasure to see people die. They sponsor protests and cash
in on violent agitation for relevance.
“We call on members of the public to disregard these allegations. PAP hasmonthly budget of N5bn, which covers stipends for all ex-agitators, overheadcost and other expenses. How can one still steal the kind of money contained inthe allegations of these people?”
