Some angry youths in Niger Delta region, have called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu to urgently probe financial records of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
The youths who are members of Ijaw Youth Liberation (IYL) also demanded for proper investigation into the controversial PAP Cooperative Scheme over alleged corrupt practices.
In a statement on Saturday in Warri, and signed by Ebiakpo Godswill, Convener and Darius ThankGod Secretary, the group expressed concern over the monthly N600m allegedly being used to fund the PAP Cooperative Scheme, while challenging the Interim Administrator to publish names of persons benefing from the Scheme. The PAP Re-Integration Unit should be closely monitored and investigated as well.
They also demanded for the sack of Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Gen Barry Ndiomu who has served his term to prevent crisis in the region.
The group blamed former President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing Ndiomu as Interim Administrator of PAP, who has refused to pay for contracts awarded by his predecessors claiming they were fictitious contracts.
It further alleged that Ndiomu was paying contractors that are close to him, lamenting that contractors not paid were committing suicide and their properties being taken over by Banks due to loans incurred from banks
“ Gen Barry Ndiomu has failed to understand that government is a continuum. He should pay for contracts awarded and executed by contractors before he took over the office.
President Bola Tinubu is paying contracts and projects executed by former President Muhammadu Buhari. We expect Ndiomu to do same to pay contractors who have executed their jobs”
“Ndiomu claims there is no money to pay contractors. But his predecessors were paying contractors from the same allocation. More so, it has come to our knowledge that there is a plot to move contractors brown files containing contracts previously awarded and executed on legal agreement with the federal government to unknown locations to be burnt and thereafter claims that the files are missing”
