N/Delta youths tell Jonathan to sack Alison-Madueke, Moro in 14 days

Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke

President Goodluck Jonathan has been given a 14-day ultimatum by the Niger Delta youths to sack embattled Minister of Petroleum, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke and the Minister of Interior Affairs, Mr Abba Moro or be ready for a mother-of-all-protest in Abuja.

The protesting youths, under the aegis of Niger Delta People’s Salvation Front (NDPSF) took to the streets, in Effurun Delta state in a demonstration which was led by spokesman for ex-militant, Alhaji Asari Dokubo, Comrade Rex Anighoro.

Anighoro said Moro has proved he has no regard for the life of the Nigerian youth with what happened during the immigration tests.

"It is a shame a nation of Nigeria’s status can’t carry out a recruitment exercise without wasting lives. It is a shame that the minister had to use stadia for such an exercise. Nigeria has betrayed its youths who shunned criminality, went to university only to come back and there are no jobs. We have concluded that Abba Moro must go.

"The minister of petroleum is absolutely corrupt, spending so much as N10 billion on chartered jets, while our mothers in the villages are unable to afford three square meals. Diezani must go. NDPSF in collaboration with youths from all parts of Delta have come to demand that these ministers should resign their appointments or be sacked by the president," he said.

According to Anigoro, if President Jonathan fails to sack both ministers within the 14 days, the Saturday protest would shift to Abuja.
