The outgoing Chief Staff Officer (CSO), Navy
Logistics Command, Oghara headquarters, Rear Admiral Dogara Albehu, has urged
the people of Niger Delta to choose credible representatives to dialogue with
the federal government, in order to achieve a lasting peace in the region.
Albehu observed that only credible leaders in Niger
Delta could bring the crisis in the region to an end through dialogue.
He said: “The continuous militant struggle of
resorting to violence and other acts of sabotaging the efforts of the
government will not anyone or the country, any good.”
The CSO, who was hosted by the Flag Officer
Commanding (FOC), Rear Admiral Begroy Enwo, on the occasion of the former’s
posting to a new naval station, added: “You can see that peace, which is
seriously needed in the region, can only be realised under an atmosphere of
peaceful dialogue. It must involve only elected and credible representatives
with interest of the region at heart.”
Speaking on the relationship between men of the
command and the host Community Oghara, Albehu said: “We have been living
peacefully with civilians over the years, and the community enjoys our health facilities,
school lecture hall. These are provided at minimal cost.”
The Catholic chaplain of the command, Lt Cdr.

to all and sundry, especially his sub-ordinates.
