The International President of The Niger Delta Youth Association Worldwide, Comr. Victor James has come hard on those, especially Northerners agitating for the scrapping of the Amnesty Programme.
In a statement made available to press men, Comr. Victor James also stated that it is height of injustice against the people of Niger Delta .
" It is only a mad person
that would want to provoke the youths of the Niger Delta, it is true
that many Northerners are against the Amnesty Program but the truth of
the matter is that they're ignorant because the entire Amnesty Program,
the Niger Delta Ministry and the NDDC's
Budget is not up to 1% of the total revenue of the oil and gas
generated from the region. If Petroleum Technology Development Fund
which was set up since 1994 is still in place then why should anyone be
talking about ending the Amnesty Program?? he queried
"That is injustice because PTDF was run solely as a Northern Agency with very minimal or no Southerners in it"
