Chief Robinson Ariyo Urges Federal Government to Guarantee Peace in the Niger Delta by Ending Patronage of Unrepentant Ex-Militants
Warri, Delta State —
Chief Robinson Ariyo, the Egogo of Warri Kingdom, has called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to take decisive steps to guarantee lasting peace in the Niger Delta in 2026 and beyond by ending what he described as the continuous patronage of unrepentant ex-militants who still operate as ethnic warlords.
According to Chief Ariyo, one of the major threats to sustainable peace in the Niger Delta is the Federal Government’s ongoing practice of awarding security and surveillance contracts to individuals who have neither renounced violence nor abandoned divisive ethnic agendas.
“Peace cannot thrive where the same individuals who once destabilized the region are being empowered again through government patronage,” he stated.
He warned that some ex-militants have merely transitioned from armed struggle to institutionalized influence, using government contracts and access to state resources to consolidate power, intimidate other ethnic nationalities, and pursue territorial and political dominance under the guise of peacekeeping.
Chief Ariyo stressed that true peace cannot be outsourced to ethnic strongmen, especially those with a history of violence, intimidation, and ethnic expansionism.
He therefore urged the Federal Government to:
Immediately halt the awarding of contracts to unrepentant ex-militants and individuals with records of ethnic violence.
Conduct thorough background and integrity checks before granting security-related contracts or responsibilities.
Adopt inclusive and neutral peace-building strategies that respect the rights, lands, and identities of all indigenous peoples in the Niger Delta.
Strengthen legitimate state security institutions rather than relying on private ethnic-aligned actors.
The Egogo of Warri Kingdom emphasized that empowering such individuals not only undermines national unity but also deepens ethnic suspicion, fuels communal tensions, and threatens the fragile peace in the oil-producing region.
He concluded by calling on the Federal Government to demonstrate political will, fairness, and neutrality, noting that lasting peace in the Niger Delta can only be achieved through justice, equity, and the rule of law—not selective patronage.

At the 24th Annual WIMBIZ NG Conference, Olórí Atuwatse-III had the opportunity to speak about the transformative power of identity and the sacred journey of becoming.
Every woman has the potential to grow, rise with courage, and lead authentically from her true self.
In Her speech, She reflected on the path that has shaped her —a journey from self-doubt to conviction, from uncertainty to clarity of purpose. We know that identity shapes destiny. When women embrace their stories, they tap into the strength needed to create, build, and drive change.
She acknowledged the leadership of Mrs. Bisi Adeyemi, Chairman of the Board of Trustees; Mrs. Ebisan Akisanya and Dr. Olubunmi Aboderin Talabi both members of the Board; and Mrs. Omowunmi Akigbohungbe, the Executive Director of WIMBIZ. Their dedicated stewardship continues to nurture a vision that empowers women to lead with excellence.
She went on to celebrate the incredible speakers and participants of this year’s conference—women who are shifting the balance of leadership and sparking transformation across the continent. Every voice, story, and initiative adds to the building blocks of an Africa led by purpose-driven women
