Warri (Delta) – An
elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, on Friday commended President Muhammadu
Buhari for his willingness to open the lines of dialogue with
youths in the
Niger Delta.
Clark made the commendation during the all-inclusive ”Stakeholders
Consultative Meeting of Niger Delta Coastal States” held in Warri, Delta. He
said opening dialogue with the agitators would ensure the restoration of peace
in the region and progress to the nation.
“This is good news coming from him;
we, therefore, look forward to the Federal Government discussing with the real
leaders and the affected youths in true spirit of frankness and openness to
ensure that, once and for all, an enduring peace is achieved.

permanent solution to the various problems that we are facing in this country,”
he said. Clark urged all Nigerians to embrace dialogue and urged the government
to stop the “continuous militarisation of the oil communities’’.
He condemned
the recent threat by some militants to declare a Niger Delta Republic and urged
them to embrace peace.
