Unknown Gunmen: How Atiku will bring back peace to S/East – PDP Spokesman

Amid the nefarious activities of the so-called ‘Unknown Gunmen’ causing chaos in Nigeria’s southeast region, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation spokesman, Charles Aniagwu, has said that his principal, Atiku Abubakar, had already enshrined peace and unity in his policy document “My Covenant With Nigerians”.

Speaking on Arise Television at the weekend in an interview monitored by POLITICS NIGERIA, Aniagwu stated that Atiku will prioritise roundtable discussions with those affiliated with armed rebel groups.

Aniagwu who is also the Delta State Commissioner for Information, said: “Atiku has made it very clear that he is going to discuss with both state and non-state actors and the crisis in the South-East is basically from non-state actors.

“Some people see them as agitators while others see them as militants but Atiku is not going to be involved in labeling. He will discuss the issues with them and good enough some of the issues are already known to him.

“Issues of under development and marginalization and he says he is going to address them to ensure that every Nigerian irrespective of where you are from is going to be brought on the decision table and once those issues are dealt with, the people agitating would have been assuaged to embrace peace.”
