Groups demand sack of Madueke, Moro

The Niger Delta People Salvation Front, NDPSF and Concerned Niger Delta Youths have called for the immediate sack of the Minister for Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Deziani Allison Madueke as well as the Minister of Interior, Mr. Patrick Abba Moro.

The NDPSF and Concerned Niger Delta Youths made the call during a peaceful protest staged along the ever busy Effurun- Ughelli road by PTI junction in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State weekend.

Our Senior Correspondentreports that the protesters carried placards with inscriptions such as “Urhobo Youths Say No To Deziani"," Edo Youths Reject Deziani and Moro", "Ijaw Youths Reject  Deziani", "Mr. President Urhobo Youths Support  National Conference",”Mr. President Enough is Enough, Sack All Non-Performing Ministers Now!" "In Dr. Goodluck Jonathan We Stand But We Say No To Deziani" and " Anioma Youths Say No To Non-Performance".

The scores of protesting youths threatened to storm the venue of the ongoing National Conference if their demand is not met, adding that they will also take their protest to all the Nigerian Embassies, the United States of America and neighbouring Ghana until their voice is heard.

Coordinator of NDPSF, Comrade Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro in a chat with Newsmen stressed that both Deziani and Moro must be sacked from President Goodluck Jonathan's cabinet if he intends to carry out his transformation agenda creditably well.

Comrade Anighoro also called for the trial of the embattled interior Minister, Mr. Patrick Abba Moro, demanding that he be made to pay dearly for the lives of those that died during the aborted NIS recruitment.

He declared, "it is a shame as a nation that we cannot conduct a simple Immigration screening exercise that took the lives of over 15 youths. It is a sad commentary that our youths have to be sacrificed for a nation that cares less about them, it is also a sad commentary that the Ministry of Interior through the Immigration Department conducted screening at the stadium where we are suppose to play games". Anighoro added, "It is a shame that after collecting money for the same exercise, our young ones have to die".

Comrade Anighoro noted that people who have no reasons to be in the Ministry of Petroleum Resources are there while Niger Delta youths are suffering, stating that rather than consider the plight of the people of the Niger Delta, Mrs. Deziani Madueke uses tax payers money to acquire and fly private jets round the world when ordinary Nigerians cannot even boast of three square meals.

Madueke, Moro
