The All Progressives Congress (APC) elders in Bayelsa State have demanded the immediate sack, and prosecution of the coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Program (PAP), Maj Gen Barry Ndiomu.
Daily Report Nigeria reports that the APC elders council accused Ndiom of turning the PAP into an anti-APC scheme.
Their allegation was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Chairman of the party’s council, Chief Maxwell Adomokeme.
The elders claimed that the Amnesty office has shifted from its primary role of keeping peace in the Niger Delta Region and its development, to a partisan support group for members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The statement read:
“We wonder also why confidential mail communication between his office and the office of the Secretary to the Government of The Federation would be deliberately leaked and made subject of pedestrian deliberations.
“We are not concerned about his obvious PDP ties and the fact he is a kinsmen to former Governor Dickson, our only concern is why he has consistently converted the Amnesty Program to an anti-APC apparatus which is made more evident in his overwhelming empowerment of PDP card-carriers and his recent and painful support of H.E Atiku Abubakar during the last presidential elections.
“The Amnesty office is, fundamentally, to keep peace in the Niger Delta Region and it’s development. The institution is not to further party divides or glean partisan advantages. But beyond that, we urge the Department of State Security investigate leakages in communication between government agencies for such acts are as treasonable as they are worrying security breaches.
“We are calling for the immediate sack, prosecution and arrest of Major General Barry Ndiomu for leaking official government communication and for turning the Noble Presidential Amnesty Program to a mere empowerment scheme of the People’s Democratic Party.
“We thank His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the innovative pathways to progress he has unveiled since becoming President, we are certain our dear nation is on the pathway of sustained progress.”
