Six more ex-militants in Nigeria’s Niger Delta have called for the sack of Kingsley Kuku, head of the presidential amnesty programme in Nigeria’s oil-rich but restive region.

The ex-militants said Kuku has failed and should be replaced for peace to reign.

“Our take as ex-agitators is that, though this man, while fluent in grammatical expression, obviously, lacks the carriage, capacity and the moral compass to effectively steer the ship of this very sensitive programme to a safe shore,” the ex-militants said in a statement.

They added: “If he(Kuku) is not involved in political grandstanding, he is involved in shadow boxing and odious recrimination with those, he is assigned to manage.”

They said their patience has been tested for long and they are now fed up with Kuku.

“Our inviolable consideration stem from the fact that the current head of the amnesty programme was deeply involved in what inspired us to take up arms against the Nigerian state before the advent of the amnesty era.

“But sadly, instead of concentrating his attention and focus on the very crucial assignment given to him by the President and Commander In Chief, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR rather he has brazenly busied himself with mundane things, thereby creating problems, causing disharmony and generating needless strife and unnecessary controversy for the people of the region,” the ex-militants said.

The ex-militants, namely EBIKENIYE EKYRI, VICTOR EMMUEL ,SALVATION A.K.A KRUGBISA, POGO, OTONYE SUWOEPRE and LASTDON, accused Kuku of appropriating the amnesty programme to himself and members of his immediate family and cronies.
