The group in a statement sent to DAILY POST issued by its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko called for the arrest of Dokubo ‘for justifying the wasteful, meaningless and substantially ill-intentioned claim that the office will spend a whopping N88 million to set up 22 barbing saloons for repentant ex-armed militants in the crude oil-rich but massively neglected Niger Delta region.’
He noted that the continuation of alleged corrupt practices in Amnesty office under the Presidency without investigation by EFCC would cause President Muhammadu Buhari to lose his claim of anti-graft war. “Saloon business is not the immediate needs of the grossly marginalised and wantonly neglected Niger Delta region. Niger Delta youth shoyld be empowered to become marine engineers and petroleum technologists or empowered by granting them oil well licences so they can become real owners of the ecploration of the huge resources that God Almighty has endowed their communities with.
“Dokubo who claims to be a professor must be presuming that his ’22 super barbers’ would be engaged to handle the multi-million Naira annual barbing contracts included in the budget of the state house in Abuja to handle the hairstyling needs of Mr. President Muhammadu Buhari. We know that in the last four years, the President has always been known to have allocated nearly N100 million Naira each year for the purposes of barbing his hairs.
“Barbing business is not economically viable in terms of creating massive job opportunities for other disadvantaged Niger Delta youth who never carried arms against the nation-state and therefore were not included as beneficiaries of this corruptly mismanaged Amnesty office. This is a crude form of stealing public fund under nebulous covers and must never be allowed to happen. A good man should stop it by all means.
HURIWA recalled that a statement issued on Tuesday by Murphy Ganagana, Special Assistant to Professor Charles Dokubo, Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Coordinator, Amnesty Programme, Prof. Charles Dokubo, noted that the N88million contract sum for 22 beneficiaries was valued at N4million per beneficiary.
