In September 2008, President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua announced the creation of a Niger Delta Ministry. He will not be the first person they will attempt to mislead with claims of being the true representatives of the Niger Delta people. The problems of the Niger Delta have not abated. Secondly, it would be a patriotic duty for Niger Delta youths under any guise to refrain from distracting the new MD. That way the organisation can chalk up some noticeable achievements in the next few years and change the Niger Delta narrative a little bit.
