Itsekiri Amnesty beneficiaries have vowed that they can no longer tolerate excuse and “intimidation” by the Special Adviser to the President on Amnesty Programme, Mr. Kingsley Kuku, accusing him of playing a script to deliberately exclude Itsekiris from the amnesty programme.
According to the Itsekiri amnesty beneficiaries, they were denied of their opportunity to embark on their various studies/trainings overseas in September 2014 on the excuse of non-availability of fund by the Amnesty Office, yet the Ijaws were sent for their studies/trainings abroad.
In a statement issued in Warri on Christmas Eve by the Chairman and Secretary of the Itsekiri Amnesty beneficiaries, Peter Tidi and Bokhan Otone respectively, the Itsekiri Amnesty beneficiaries called on the National Assembly and other relevant government agencies to intervene to stop the alleged marginalization.
Mr. Kingsley Kuku
They hinged their fears on the fact that despite deliberately deferring their admission to January/February 2015, they are yet to get sponsorship letters and other documents necessary to make the trip and yet there has been no response from the Presidential Amnesty Office.
