Clark Hails ‘Avengers’ For Honouring Him With No Hostility In Delta
Clark
Elder statesman and Convener of the Pan Niger Delta Elders’ Forum, PANDEF, Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark has thanked the self-styled militant group, ‘New Delta Avengers’ for stopping its proposed hostility in Delta State after his appeal to them.
The former federal commissioner for Information on Friday said that he was delighted that the group heeded his plea by calling off its plan to resume hostilities on June 30 in Delta State.
Clark however urge the federal and state governments to leverage on the development to listen to the legitimate complaints of the oil producing communities and take into consideration the reasonable suggestions to alleviate their predicament.
His statement read: “My children, the agitated youths of the Niger-Delta, this letter is just to acknowledge your so elaborately expressed respect for my person; hence I am very grateful that you have honoured me, personally, for declaring, so openly, that you would sheathe the sword, replace the gun powder again, while you allow me, through various networks, embark on this urgent and critical assignment you have wisely saddled me with.”
“I use this opportunity to demand both the State and Federal Governments to be keenly sensitive to the nuances of your legitimate grouses and reasonable suggestions for their amelioration. The deterioration, therefore, the gloom of the people of the areas, has been increasing by leaps and bounds, since 2015,” Clark added.
