2023: FNDIC Boss Oboko Urges Delta Guber Candidates To Adopt Ibori’s ‘Warri Peace Initiative’

Published

on

The “roadmap to peace in Warri ” negotiated by the former governor James Ibori must be expanded upon, according to Chief Bello Oboko, president of the Federated Niger Delta Ijaw Communities (FNDIC).

He claimed that the Ibori’s model of peace was an effective model for state-wide peace. 

Oboko spoke against the backdrop of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the State, Rt. Hon. Ovie Omo-Agege, who recently visited Atuwatse III, the Olu of Warri, and said that he would restore the lost glory of Warri.

The FNDIC president said that in order for Warri and Delta State to emerge with lasting peace and glory, the electorate in Delta must domesticate and heed Rev. William F. Kumuyi’s recent advice to voters to “consider their future before voting.” 

He emphasised that Omo-Agege was Secretary to State Government (SSG) when Ibori initiated the “roadmap to peace in Warri.”

Oboko said, “May I take this opportunity to appeal to all Deltans, especially politicians running in the general elections of 2023, and in particular DSP Ovie Omo-Agege, not to renege on putting more effort toward realisation of the enduring Delta State instrument of peace calling for structural balance in the hierarchy/polity.

“We stand on the Warri Roadmap to Peace.” Warri youths are wary of avoidable wars”, Oboko stressed, admonishing: “Pursuant to the Warri roadmap to peace, we expect politicians to conduct themselves in a way and manner that shall guarantee zoning and constitution-compliant federal character application. Politicians should do well to consolidate gains and credibility of Delta State’s roadmap to peace in Warri architecture to which then Delta State House of Assembly expressed commitment”.

He emphasized that “come 2023, the electorate should only cast their votes for candidates with  experience in peace building, quality service delivery and vote right in affirmation, at least, of the Niger Delta struggle for a future of equal political space, democracy and resource control, fiscal federalism and environmental justice”.
