Tam Odogwu further said Kuku’s credibility, effectiveness , knowledge and understanding of the plight of the Niger Delta ex militants contributed immensely to peace currently enjoyed in the region as oil production has steadily gained stability .
His prompt attention to issues is next to none .
He also used the medium to call on Kuku to finish strongly the excellent work he had started just as he passionately appealed to him to create room for the few undocumented task force hitherto described as unqualified so as to giving them a sense of belonging.
In the same vein President Goodluck Jonathan was hailed for his appointment of Kuku as his Adviser on Niger Delta and Chairman Presidential amnesty even as the secretary of the Niger Delta ex militants advised the militants eschew violence saying that it was only through dialogue and peaceful negotiation that the government of the day could respond positively to their complaints ,
Meanwhile chairman of Delta state amnesty programme Mr Kingsley Agas called for the cooperation of the ex militants in all spheres of their positive struggle , noting that any form of splinter action would truncate the collective will and agitation of the group.
