The Niger Delta Peoples Council (NDPC) says the National Assembly failed Nigerians by voting against devolution of power to the states.
Leader of the group, Mike Loyibo, in a statement on Sunday, said history would not forgive the lawmakers for rejecting the item.
It reads: “It is so disappointing that an APC controlled National assembly could not deliver on the bill on devolution of powers being one of the major campaign promises as enshrined in APC’s constitution.
“They have failed Nigerians and history will not forgive the principal actors of this ignoble act. A ‘YES’ vote will have gone a long way in dousing the tension in the Nation today.
“This goes a long way to show how detached they are from the people they represent. It was an opportunity to lay the foundation for a true Federation which would have gone a long way in demonstrating APC’s sincerity to lead the nation in the right direction”.
The group also asked leaders of the southeast region to call the pro-Biafra activist, Nnamdi Kanu to order.
“The man has become a public nuisance and he should be made to abide by his bail conditions. He is playing a game and everyone should know this. He wants security operatives to arrest him to create a crisis.
“Nobody is bigger that the nation and he should be curtailed. Major leaders in the south east should call him to order before it gets too messy.
“He should be declared persona non grata in all other states. His activities should be restricted to only his Local Government Area.”
