Niger Delta ex-agitators of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP, have appealed to President Bola Tinubu to reappoint and confirm the appointment of Major General Barry Tariye Ndiomu, retd, as the substantive coordinator of the programme to continue with the reforms aimed at bringing out the best out of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
The National Chairman of third phase ex-agitators, Elaye Slaboh and second phase, Olotu Wanemi, told newsmen that the scholarship was not abruptly terminated as being speculated, and called on fellow ex-agitators to always work for the peace of Niger Delta region. “The claims that Ndiomu diverted the funds meant for the scholarship programme to sponsor election is laughable.
“The privilege must not be abused or taken for granted, the office shall remain committed to the affairs and welfare of the real beneficiaries of the programme who surrendered arms to the Federal Government and not hoodlums who have turned the activities of PAP into merchandise.
