Niger Delta Avengers: Senator Florence Ita-Giwa Issues Statement

Senator Florence Ita-Giwa has given conditions for her membership of the negotiation team for peace with the Niger Delta militants. The former presidential adviser said she was willing to be part of any discussion that would bring lasting peace to the Niger Delta region.

In a statement released on Wednesday, June 15, she said she will be willing to be part of the dialogue for the benefit of the Niger Delta people. The statement read: “Recently, my attention has been drawn to a widespread report in the national dailies that I have agreed to serve in dialogue team with the Federal Government. 

“I was, however, contacted by a representative of the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta asking if I will be part of an initiative to find ways to end the ongoing attacks through dialogue towards restoring peace in the region.

“In my response, I said that I will consider serving if the Federal Government is willing to engage in discussions with credible Nigerians that have genuine interest and sympathy for the people of the region.”
