“We see the development as a confirmation of Buhari’s declaration that he is the President of all Nigeria. It is a testament to his credentials as a democrat with firm belief in the power of dialogue.
“We totally support the call for the leaders of the Niger Delta to take the initiative more than anyone else to bring peace to their region, especially now that it is glaring that they are the ones influencing the militant groups.”
Also, President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his administration will review the situation in the Niger Delta, so as to end militancy and vandalism of oil infrastructure in the area.
