Obj/Jonathan: Group sues for peace

BY LAJA THOMAS
A United Kingdom based NGO, the 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 signed by the group director, Barrister Ejiro Nomuoja, which was  made available to Vanguard 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 are already meeting over the matter in Kenya.

“We the Niger Delta Advocacy Group is 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 points on board for the sake of unity and peace of our country.”

The Urhobo advocacy group also send condolence to the Ijaw National Congress over the death of its erstwhile leader, Tari Sekibo. May his gentle soul rest in peace.
