President Muhammadu Buhari has received a delegation of Ogoni leaders, led by the President of the Supreme Council of Ogoni traditional rulers, His Majesty King Godwin N. K. Giniwa.
He informed them that his administration is committed to ensuring clemency and national integration as part of its bid to lay the foundation for genuine reconciliation and bring closure to the issues of Ogoni land.
The president noted that the unfortunate incidents of the early 1990s leading to the loss of lives of distinguished sons of Ogoni Land and the collateral judicial processes are indelible in our memories.
He added that despite the grievous circumstances, the federal government will consider the request for the grant of pardon to finally close the Ogoni saga.
