Jonathan, OBJ face-off: UK-based NGO sues for peace

BY Laja Thomas
A United Kingdom-based NGO, Niger Delta Advocacy Group, has sued for peace over the controversial letter addressed to President Goodluck Jonathan by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

In a statement, the group’s Director, Mr Ejiro Nomuoja, said: “President Jonathan should take time to study the letter in the interest of peace and unity of the country. We are happy that the two great leaders and statesmen already met over the matter in Kenya.

”We are of the opinion that this is not the time to trade words with former President Obasanjo rather for President Jonathan to welcome people’s opinion and apply wisdom in taking some advantageous action for the sake of unity and peace of our country.”
The group also condoled with Ijaw National Congress over the death of its erstwhile leader, Tari Sekibo.
