\u2026AS IJAWS REMEMBER ISAAC BORO:\u00a0\u00a0 Asari-Dokubo rejects FG amnesty programme<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

PORT HARCOURT\u2014 ABOUT 1,000 Ijaw youths, yesterday, embarked on a peaceful march to the Rivers State Government House and major streets in Port Harcourt, to commemorate this year\u2019s Isaac Adaka Boro day.<\/p>\n

The protest was organised under the aegis of Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF. Leader of the group, Alhaji Asari Dokubo, reversed himself on the Federal Government\u2019s amnesty programme, when he called on the government to accommodate his boys in the project.<\/p>\n

Asari said he had rejected the amnesty under the late President Umaru Yar\u2019Adua administration but that it was not enough reason for the government not to accommodate his boys.<\/p>\n

Asari who\u00a0 spoke against the appointment of Justice Ibrahim Auta as Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, said rather than ratify the appointment, President Jonathan should order an investigation into his role in the judicial murder of the late Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight others.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cwe have not been part of the amnesty under the late President\u00a0 Yar\u2018Adua because the programme contradicts our belief as genuine fighters, who were not out to fight only for our own interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cRather, we were fighting for the interest of the land and people of the Niger Delta, a land where our people suffer in the ocean of wealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not need to kidnap\u00a0 or commit crimes against our people to gain government\u2019s reckoning. We are stakeholders and cannot afford to lose out and our followers are young men, who also must benefit from the packages.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, we reject the recent unpatriotic confirmation of the appointment of\u00a0 Auta, by the Senate, because this is a tacit endorsement of the judicial murder of Saro-Wiwa and eight others.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, we call on the Presidency to reject the Senate confirmation and instead, order an investigation into the role of Justice Auta in the judicial murder of\u00a0 Saro-Wiwa and eight of his Ogoni compatriots,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
