A group, the Movement for Survival of Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta (MOSIEND) has urged youths protesting against underdevelopment to blame their leaders on the region.
MOSIEND made the call in a statement signed by its National Secretary, Mr Amain Contrell on Thursday in Yenagoa.
”It is regrettable that leaders in the region, charged with the management of affairs of the NDDC, to exhibit patriotism and devise means to develop the region, are amassing the people’s wealth with reckless abandon.
”President Muhammad Buhari is not to be blamed for the region’s ordeal.
”MOSIEND is not surprised by the current happenings in the NDDC.
“The deplorable condition of the region and the management of the commission calls for concern.
The group commended the appointment of Sen. Godswill Akpabio as Minister for Niger Delta Affairs, describing him as the best hand to drive the developmental needs of the region.
The group also appealed to the Isekiri, Urhobo, Ijaw, and other ethnic groups in the region to sheath their sword in the interest of peace and brotherliness.
“We need peace, unity, and prosperity not the opposite,” the group stated. (NÀN)
