Factional president of Ijaw Youth
Council, IYC, worldwide, Eric Omare, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to
act fast in addressing the Niger Delta, Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB,
self-determination and restructuring agitations.
He warned the President not to be
deceived by politicians to snub the agitators but take urgent steps to address
them for the nation to make progress.
In a statement he signed and made
available to newsmen yesterday, Omare, said, “We want to strongly advise
President Buhari not to be misled by selfish politicians to disregard the different
agitations in the country as the agitations are genuine and must be addressed
for the country to make progress.
“While joining Nigerians in
expressing delight over the return of President Buhari to Nigeria, I wish to
call on him to focus on hitting the ground running, rather than unnecessary
politicking.
“The Nigerian polity, especially
the economy, has suffered from President Buhari’s constant absence due to
health challenges, however, now that he has returned in good state, he should
take urgent steps to address the economic challenges to take Nigeria out from
recession, address the agitations in the Niger Delta region, the IPOB
agitations and the different calls for self-determination and restructuring of
the country.
”“President Buhari must also avoid
the temptation of been too engrossed in intra and inter party politics.
“What Nigerians need now is
serious and purposeful leadership to address the multifarious problems facing
the country?
“This is not time for politics
but it is time for President Buhari to rise up as statesman to address the
national challenges.
“In the coming days and weeks, we
expect President Buhari to take concrete steps towards to address the demands
for restructuring, sincere commitment towards the Niger Delta peace process and
steps towards economic recovery including resolution of the ongoing industrial
action by university teachers.”
