Don't Play Politics With The Office Of Coordinator Presidential Amnesty Programme, Comrade Christopher Adaka Tells President Buhari


It is a well known fact that the Presidential Amnesty Programme was not established through political agitation but via sustained agitation through the sweat and blood of Niger-Delta Youths.

The collective and sustained agitation by Niger-Delta Youths brought the needed attention of the Federal Government to the plights of the Niger-Delta People, therefore necessitating the intervention of the Federal Government which BIRTHED the Presidential Amnesty Programme. Truth is what conforms to reality, in the heat of the Niger-Delta Agitation most of our Political elites never supported our agitation they even tagged us militants especially the Ijaws: today God has transformed our adversaries into our benefits, these same people who collaborated with our oppressors have now hijacked the product of our collective struggle: surely there is an end, and the end must surely justify the means: we must take back the Product of our collective struggle.

The call for the next Coordinator to be a Product or Stunt Supporter of the struggle right from the creek days is not misplaced because he who feels it knows it: as a Labourer deserves his wages, no one can tell or sell our story better than us.

The delay in announcing a Coordinator to pilot the affairs of the Presidential Amnesty Programme is causing more harm than good as some delegates with just few months to complete their Training and Empowerment have now been put on hault due to the limitations of the INTERIM Committee.

If Professor Charles Dokubo has been investigated then let the needful be done: if he is guilty let him be prosecuted accordingly, if he is not guilty let the needful be done so as to rejuvenate the Amnesty Programme for the benefit of genuine delegates: when two elephants are fighting the ground suffers it all, delegates are at the receiving end thus there needs to be a sincerity of purpose from all and sundry in other to alleviate the sufferings of genuine delegates occasioned by the vaccum in the Presidential Amnesty Office.

While we earnestly wait for a Coordinator to be announced, the key players to pen it down should bear in mind that the original Presidential Amnesty delegates who were dully documented as card carriers are calling for a product of the struggle or a staunch supporter of the struggle to be appointed as Coordinator of PAP: majority of delegates are calling on the likes of High Chief Dr Selky Kile Torughedi aka General Young Shall Grow, the King of the Youths to be appointed as Coordinator of PAP due to his Leadership qualities as a listening Leader and an astute administrator who grew through the ranks and files of the Niger-Delta Struggle.

Please feel free to share your views and opinions in a civilised manner: We all want a better Amnesty Programme that will benefit us all irrespective of tribe and political affiliations, your views and opinions are vital: Together Everybody Achieves More (TEAM).

Comrade Christopher Adaka
Coordinator NDCABF.
