Acting Delta Speaker Wants Ijaw Youths To Embrace Amnesty

Acting Speaker of the Delta House of Assembly, has urged Ijaw youths to shun criminalities and embrace the Federal Government’s amnesty programme.  

Ganagana made the call on Thursday in Asaba, when members of the National Association of Ijaw Graduates paid him a courtesy visit.  

He said that the activities of militants had led to the loss of many lives, particularly youths in the Niger Delta region.  

The acting speaker, therefore, advised members of the association to take to responsible conducts and uphold the integrity of the Ijaw nation in all their activities.  

On the 2011 general elections, Ganagana urged them to support the “one man, one vote” campaign in order to make the polls credible.  

Earlier, the President of the association, Mr Paul Pawuru, said that the purpose of their visit was to identify with the House of Assembly.  

Meanwhile, the House of Assembly has received a Bill for a law to amend the Local Government Law, 2004.  

The Bill is sponsored by the member representing Warri South West constituency, Mr Daniel Mayuku and the House has committed it for second reading.
