WARRI— FORMER governorship candidate of Mega Progressive People's Party, MPPP, in Delta State, Alaowei Afro Biukeme, has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to sack the Petroleum Minister, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke and her Niger Delta Ministry counterpart, Elder Godsday Orubebe for "not making any impact in the Niger Delta region."
Biukeme, President of Niger Delta Coastal Communities, yesterday, accused the two ministers of not doing enough in terms of development and empowerment of the Niger Delta people as well as reneging on their promise of providing refineries in the riverine communities of the region.
He hinted of his imminent decamping to Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN "since Peoples Democratic Party, PDP cannot change Delta State," and appealed to Islamic sect, Boko Haram to drop their arms and exercise patience with President Goodluck Jonathan.
He said that President Jonathan had displayed his pan-Nigerian disposition by appointing two people from the Northern part of the country as Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, as well his National Security Adviser.
