This again shows the creepy attitude of this administration, and its practice of exclusion, and non-committal to issues of the Niger Delta. Unfortunately, in spite of the gains arising from the subsisting peace in the region, and the conciliatory gesture of the Niger Delta people, the Federal Government has continued to demonstrate indifference to issues affecting the Niger Delta Region. You can, therefore, imagine the number of sleepless night we, the Niger Delta Leaders led by me, have been having. For this reason, the Commission made a recommendation for the setting up of the Niger Delta Development Board in 1960. We have suffered and endured enough, hence today, the Leaders of the Niger Delta have become a laughing stock.
