now is constructive engagement with the Federal Government since
President Muhammadu Buhari has considered dialogue as the best
option.”

lasting solution to the lingering quest for development towards
ending militancy. Mulade also urged all militant groups on the Niger
Delta region to give peace a chance by adhering to the call by Niger
Delta monarchs, leaders and stakeholders.

strongly advise and appeal to the Federal Government to withdraw all
security agents in the communities and station them at strategic
location within oil installation to give confident to the people.”

stakeholders to have confidence in her and Mr. President should
personally lead the dialogue process to engage critical stakeholders
