Niger Delta ex-militants pledge support for Buhari.. says amnesty programme is the the only panacea to peace in N-Delta

Niger Delta ex-militant leaders have pledged to cooperate with the incoming administration of the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).
The ex-agitators, under the aegis of Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiative, LPCDI, added that said their support for Buhari will be based on the sustenance of the amnesty programme.
National President, LPCDI, Pastor Reuben Wilson, hailed Buhari on his victory at the poll, but begged him not to abandon the amnesty programme of the Federal Government.
He, however, alleged that Jonathan’s defeat at the poll was a conspiracy of the South/West and the North against the South/South and the South/East.
Wilson, in a statement in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, called on all freedom fighters to support the incoming administration to enable it fulfill its campaign promises to Nigerians.
Describing the amnesty programme as the only panacea to peace and security in the Niger Delta region, he said it should not be toyed with by the incoming government.
He warned that there will be no peace in the region if the Presidential Amnesty Programme was neglected or abandoned.
According to him, if the Niger Delta was neglected as it was in the past, the ex-militants will use every resource at their disposal to stop crude oil production in the region.
