Former Minister of Police
Affairs, Alaowei Broderick Bozimo, has warned that if the threat by Northern
youths asking Igbos to vacate their region is pushed too far, the Rwanda
experience will be a child’s play.
Bozimo issued the warning over
the weekend in Warri, Delta State when a delegation of the United States
Consulate, led by Paul Hines, Political and Economic Adviser to the Consul
General, payed him a visit to find out how Niger Delta region was doing under
the leadership of Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo.
The delegate had also visited
former national chairman, Traditional Rulers of Oil Producing Communities of
Nigeria, TROMPCON, His Majesty, Charles Ayemi-Botu, with the same aim of
finding out how the region was fairing under Osinbajo’s leadership.
Addressing the delegation, Bozimo said, “The similarity with the experience of 1966/67 is too close. How do you differentiate between Igbo and South-South people? We are worried because if these threats are pushed too far, Rwanda will be a child’s play.”
Bozimo also disclosed that the
people of the Niger Delta were worried by the slow response of the Federal
Government to the long envisaged dialogue with Pan Niger-Delta Forum, PANDEF.
“We appeal to the US to tell the Nigerian President that their pace is slow. Ogoni clean-up has been slow, the maritime varsity is slow. Something has to be done. It is a major challenge to the region,” he said.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
