The Federal government has been urged to dismiss the idea to scrap the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), designed to integrate ex-agitators back into the society in the Niger-Delta region. According to Omo-Agege: “I don’t think that the timing is right for the Amnesty Programme to be scrapped. “It is my hope and expectation that the policymakers who are around Mr President will convey this to Mr President that to the extent that there is any such plan at this time, it is premature and ill-timed. But we have failed Mr President because we have not been able to hold to account those to whom these resources have been entrusted. “So Mr President has done his part, we are the ones that have failed our people”, he stated.
