Call for Dokubo’s sack sparks resistance from Ex-militants, tribesmen, N’Delta groups vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The reports were rather smear campaigns staged by persons, who the Office described as “ambitious politicians eyeing Prof. Dokubo’s office.”Describing the report as “preposterous, malicious and false,” Mr. Murphy Ganagana, PAP spokesperson, called on the people to disregard the report, adding they should rather support Dokubo’s efforts aimed at moving the Amnesty Programme to the next level than to smear the hard-earned reputation of Prof. Dokubo..
This happened because the security operatives “were simply overwhelmed by the numerical strength of the massive invaders,” he said. While soliciting the continued support of the people, he urged them to complement Prof. Dokubo in moving the Amnesty Programme to the next level. Addressing reporters in Yenagoa, Naingba, president IWC, asserted,” Rather than apportioning blames, IWC intends to collaborate with well meaning organisations and civil society groups to thoroughly investigate before holding further discussions and finally will brief the press.”
In a statement by Clement Wodo, Goddy Kaduna, Dengo Benin, Olotu Wanemi, Stephen, Ebisinte and Kingsley Muturu in Benin City, Edo state, the group said that since his appointment, Prof. Dokubo has done much to repair the damaged image of the Amnesty Programme and nobody should distract from doing a good work.
