BENIN—Chief Lawson Omokhodion,  who was recently listed as the Edo State representative in the Aaron2 negotiating team proposed by the Movement of the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, yesterday, declined the role.

In a statement,   Omokhodion, who recently returned from a Pan-African regional conference, said that I have decided to decline my nomination as part of the MEND Aaron2 negotiating team.

”Nigerians who employ violence as a means to solve their problems should think twice, I believe in the indivisibility of a sovereign and strong Nigeria,” he stated.
