Represented by Lucky Loyibo, his Special Assistant on Political Matters, Professor Dokubo said PAP, under President Buhari, has improved peace, resulting in increased oil production in the Niger Delta and restored trust and confidence of Nigeria in the international community.

On calls for expansion of PAP to benefit more persons, Dokubo said: “Despite the numerous achievements of PAP, we assure you of more development.

“The mandate was for 30,000 documents ex-agitators. We are working hard to see more people incorporated, as only the President has powers to incorporate more people.”
