  "summary": "His Royal Highness Kile Selky Torughedi, the Royal Father in Azuzu Ama, Southern Ijaw, Bayelsa State, has called for unity and peace among stakeholders in the Niger Delta region. In a statement, Torughedi urged all parties to set aside personal interests and work together towards the region's development, warning that ongoing disagreements risk blurring the vision for progress and pulling the region in different directions. He appealed to traditional rulers, ex-agitators, youth leaders, and other influential figures to unite for peace, progress, and development, emphasizing that the Niger Delta struggle was founded on principles of equity, justice, and resource control, not selfish ambition. Torughedi emphasized the need for reconciliation and a recalibration of approach, urging all factions to come together as one unified bloc to advance the demand for true resource control and socio-economic emancipation of the Niger Delta people.",
