Ijaw Monarch, King Ayemi-Botu, Dismisses Clark’s Claims Of Merger Between PANDEF And PNDPC
His Majesty King Charles Ayemi-Botu
The Pan Niger Delta People’s Congress (PNDPF) has dismissed claims that it has merge with the Pan Niger Delta Elders Forum (PANDEF), led by Ijaw national leader, Chief Edwin Kaigbodo Clark, describing such claims as preposterous and false.
In a press statement by the group’s leader, His Majesty King Charles Ayemi-Botu, PNDPF stated unequivocally that at no time did the leadership and members of PNDPC resolved to merge with PANDEF, stating that the unanimous decision at the Opokuma Summit has not been reviewed afterwards.
The Opokuma summit, the group said agreed that the PNDPC should continue as an independent entity mandated by the agitators to open fresh dialogue with the Federal Government on the way forward.
It therefore said that it was provocative for the Clark’s led PANDEF to claim any merger arrangement when in the actual sense only a few individuals had arrogated to themselves authority they do not have to maken such unguarded declaration without proper consultation.
The statement made available to BigPen Online on Thursday said, “The leadership and members of PNDPC however viewed as fatalistically incorrect, highly provocative and a direct affront on the sensibilities of members for a few individuals to arrogate to themselves authority they do not have to make such unguarded declaration without proper consultation.
The group however lamented that fifth columnist, political jobbers as well as government moles have infiltrated the Niger Delta struggle to make capital gains to the detriment of the genuine agitators and generality of the Niger Delta People.
“PNDPC notes with deep concern that unbridled greed for wealth, contract and people seeking political relevance have plunged the Niger Delta into an irredeemable abyss of underdevelopment, self perfidy, divisive tendencies driven by hate, selfishness, vaulting ambition and expansionist tendencies by a few individuals whose only agenda is to place the Niger Delta in perpetual bondage.
“The PNDPC is irrevocably committed to the Niger Delta struggle and no amount of blackmail, betrayal of trust and an unholy gangup shall dissuade its leadership from delivering on its core mandate to seek a peaceful resolution of the Niger Delta question where her citizens shall enjoy economic prosperity, political stability and self-determination within the legal framework of the Nigerian constitution”
