Strong indications have emerged that the former President, Goodluck Jonathan is meeting with key members of the Avengers and other known militant groups, with a view to dousing the tension in the region, as well as avert deployment of soldiers and military hardware to the region.
The Bayelsa State-based Niger Delta Peace Agenda (NDPA) confirmed that the former president was meeting ‘quietly’ with some militant leaders and has sent out emissaries to stakeholders in the region, with a view to convening an all-encompassing dialogue/peace session.
According to The Guardian, the group, however, said any “deceptive peace process would be rejected by the people.”
In a statement by the NDPA, yesterday, and signed by Timie Boroh, the group cautioned all Niger Delta militants to listen to the former president and Ijaw leaders to give peace a chance in the region.
