Boroh spreads message of peace, spends Democracy Day in Oproza
(Nigeria) By Mene Lube
While Nigerians were celebrating their Democracy Day, the
special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and the Coordinator of the
Niger Delta Presidential Amnesty Programme was busy in the creeks finding a
lasting solution to the recent attacks on the nation’s oil and gas
installations in the Niger Delta region.
After series of meetings in Warri, Delta State, General Paul
Boroh (retd) surprised many by paying an unscheduled visit to Oproza in
Gbaramatu Kingdom.
Following a thorough inspection of the community, Gen Boroh
paid a courtesy call on the traditional ruler, HRH Pere Naira Williams Ogoba.
The Gbaramatu Monach who warmly welcomed the Amnesty boss,
quickly expressed his displeasure on the way his community was treated.
He who insisted that
the people of Gbaramatu are peace loving and willing to help the Federal
Government move the Nation forward, pleaded with the retired General to ask the
soldiers on ground to be calm and gentile in the way they carry out their
duties.
In his response, General Boroh apologised for any wrong
perception the people of Gbaramatu might have about the military operation.
He also expressed concern on the way vandals are freely
carrying out mayhem by bombing oil and gas installations without the
intervention of the community.
“It is saddening that the activities of these vandals, is
having a direct effect on the economy of the nation," Gen Boroh said.
He promised to take the message of peace back to the
President and pleaded with the King to send the same message of peace to his
people
