Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for choosing to negotiate with the Niger Delta militants, especially the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, and suspending military action for two weeks.
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the Governor said: "The President must face the reality that democracy is about negotiation and concession."
However, he stated that there must be a display of absolute sincerity from the Federal Government such that the militants would have trust in the process.
Acknowledging the huge benefits which proceeds from the region, Governor Fayose further stated, "The Niger Delta as at today, is still the golden goose laying the golden eggs on which all other regions are surviving; and it will be suicidal for military action to be sustained against the militants."
