Following the festering militants activities in the
Niger Delta region, President Muhammadu Buhari has invited chairmen of states
Council of Traditional Rulers in the region to a meeting in Abuja.
The meeting scheduled
for Wednesday, June 29, Daily Sun learnt, is one of the strategies by the
president to consult with relevant stakeholders as he seeks to resolve the
crisis.
Already, a security
summit scheduled to hold in Uyo by the South-South Mornachs Forum has been
shifted to July 25 to 28, as a result of the meeting with the President.
Head of
secretariat/summit coordinator, Dr. Alfred Chiakor who confirmed this to Daily
Sun called on aggrieved groups in the region to sheath their swords and allow
the Buhari-led government chart a steady course for resolving the remote and
immediate causes of the crises.
The South-South Mornachs
Forum urged all stakeholders in the Nigeria project to encourage every
initiative for peace, noting that the mushrooming of crises in different parts
of the country is asymmetrical to the aspirations of the collective heritage.
It equally appealed to
investors operating in the region to support the forum and other genuine
stakeholders with a view to safeguarding the integrity of the region and its
national and natural assets.
