President Muhammadu Buhari will look into the
amnesty programme for Niger Delta ex –militants, the Presidency has said. The Presidency explained
that it will be wrong for Buhari to continue the programme without taking a
look at the whole amnesty package.
The Special Adviser to
the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, who said this on Kaakaki, a
breakfast programme on Africa Independent Television (AIT) in Abuja, Friday,
added that there are issues concerning the amnesty programme which the
President is taking time to study.
Adesina said: “Don’t also
forget that if a situation or process was riddled with corruption and you come
saying you are going to clean up the system, and then you continue to just run
on the same steam of what you met on ground then you have not changed anything.
“There are a lot of
issues about it and the President is studying those issues. After he has
finished studying them, the package will be unfolded on amnesty.
The presidential
spokesman said the nonpayment of tuition fees for 13 pilots undergoing training
at the Lufthansa airline school in Frankfurt, Germany, was unfortunate, adding
that the situation will be sorted out soon.
