“We are hopeful that with the wealth of experience Prof Dokubo brings to the table he will deal squarely with the true and pressing needs of the Niger Delta to ensure peace that will propel development.

“We therefore, urge him not to play politics with his position, but strive to introduce programs that will drive the development of the region and the fulfillment of the core objectives of the amnesty program.

“We wish you well in your new office and assure you of our support in ensuring your successful tenure”, it noted. (Source: Dailypost.com.ng)
