Kaduna senator - elect and President Civil Rights
Congress , Comrade Shehu Sani, has urged president-
elect Muhammadu Buhari to scrap the amnesty
programme in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria .
He also asked the president- elect to probe the
programme before scrapping it .
According to Sani , the Amnesty programme initiated by
the late President Umaru Yar ’ Adua for ex - militants in the
Niger Delta is sham and should be discontinued by the
Buhari - led administration .
He noted that the programme should have been a
temporary gesture and not a permanent one as it is now .
Sani equally noted that a situation where some
individuals have turned the Amnesty programme into a
conduit pipe to drain the nation ’ s wealth is sad and
regrettable .
The Senator - Elect who also accused President Jonathan
administration of skewing development to the south-
south alone instead spreading it to the north and south
west regions, told Buhari to be a national and not regional
leader .
He cautioned the president- elect to avoid a repeat of the
mistake made the PDP - led government .
He also called on Nigerians to support Buhari ’ s
administration to rebuild Nigeria and revamp the
economy .
