An ex-militant leader Ramsey Oyakemeagbegha has called on the federal government to sustain the amnesty programme beyond 2015.
Premium Times reports that Oyakemeagbegha made the plea in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria in Yenagoa on June 21, Sunday.
The ex-militant leader, who benefited from the third phase of the amnesty programme, insisted on its extension, stressing that it would enable government address the challenges and neglects that necessitated the amnesty.
“We in the third phase amnesty are also of the view that the programme should continue and not stop in 2015 as scheduled; so, I urged the federal government to review the schedule.
“The third phase came in not too long ago; even for those who started in the first phase there is not much on ground to engage them meaningfully.
“The communities are still largely underdeveloped and most of the things that triggered militancy are not attended to as expected,’’ he said.
Continuing his statement, the leader added that the people did not have an access to potable water, good education and functional health facilities. He also mentioned the problem of pollution occasioned by the oil industry.
“In the light of the above, making 2015 the end of the presidential amnesty programme spells more trouble for our region and the nation,” he concluded.
Oyakemeagbegha took the opportunity to reiterate the resolve of Niger Delta youth to support the new administration because President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier promised to develop the region.
Earlier this month, ex-militant leaders under the aegis of Urhobo Gbagbako called on the federal government to restructure the amnesty programme, so that it would accommodate those who surrendered arms.
