A former leader of Arewa youths, Musa Saidu said Niger Delta youths calling Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio a Messiah should bury their heads in shame, IgbereTV reports.
Saidu who was also an aide to Late sage Chief Harold Biriye described the youths under the aegis of Niger Delta Progressives Movement as “bunch of traders and not true Niger Deltans”.
He said “there’s urgent need to inaugurate the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, saying the delay was generating tension in the region.
Saidu who is the leader of Arewa in the South also lashed at some youths under the aegis of Niger Delta Progressives Movement, NDPM, who poured encomiums on the Minister of Niger Delta, Senator Godswill Akpabio for launching a Strategic Implementation Work Plan for his Ministry, dismissing them as political traders.
He said it was unfortunate that some youths would come out at this time to shower praises on the Minister at a time the region was condemning his delay in constituting aboard for the NDDC.
“I am not sure they are Niger Delta youths. At a time the region is bitter over delay in constituting aboard for the NDDC some youths could come out to shower praises. This is wrong. What we expect now is for all Niger Deltans and youths inclusive to be focused on agitating for a board for the commission and fixing the East-West road. “, he said.
