Delta State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, has appealed to the Federal Government to emulate Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa peace initiative in resolving renewed militancy in Niger Delta instead of resorting to military force.

Onuesoke, who spoke to journalists in Warri, yesterday, said Okowa led the path to peace by  setting up Delta Advocacy Committee headed by his deputy, Kingsley Otuaro, instructing the committee to go into the riverine area to advocate, engage a cross section of the people, especially the youths, to make them realize that the  destruction of critical oil facilities under any guise or reason is not the way out to addressing problem if there is any.

He advised that in order for the crisis in the Niger Delta not to escalate the Federal Government should also set up a committee that would work with members of Delta Advocacy Committee.
