Former Presidential Adviser on National Assembly Matters, Senator Florence Ita Giwa, has reiterated her earlier stand that she will mediate on behalf of any credible group in the Niger Delta, with the aim of ending the vandalism and restiveness in the area.

Ita Giwa said this in a statement made available to newsmen, noting that she had no affiliation with any of the groups engaged in the ongoing crisis rocking the region, besides being the leader of the Bakassi people, under the aegis of the Bakassi General Assembly, a body working in collaboration with other stakeholders.

Ita Giwa, however, added that inasmuch as she was interested in any moves aimed at restoring peace and developments in the region, she would consider serving in the mediatory role if the Federal Government was willing to engage in discussions with credible Nigerians, who had genuine interest and sympathy for the people of the region.

The statement read  in part: “My position is still the same and that is the fact that I will accept to mediate for any credible group and it is important to note that I do not have affiliation with any of these groups apart from my position as the political leader of the Bakassi people struggling along with other Bakassi people to ensure proper resettlement of my people.

“Again, I will serve in order to put in place a lasting solution to the hostility, thereby bringing succour to the people of the region.

“I shall also be willing to be part of the dialogue for the benefit of the people of the region and by extension, the numerous displaced Bakassi indigenes who have been neglected over the years.
