He, therefore, called for peace amongst the stakeholders in the region by doing things the right way.

The Niger Delta is dear to me and I am here to ensure the highest levels of development for the region and its youths. It is a sad thing that the region has not witnessed a level of development that commensurate with the funds that have been spent by the Ministry and the NDDC

We must forge a bond of peace across the Niger Delta by doing the right thing as that is the only way to ensure speedy development. I urge young people to always insist on due process even if immediate outcomes may appear not to be in their favour.
