Ndiomu in a statement signed by his Special Assistant, Media, Mr. Thomas Peretu, described the attack as unfortunate and callous.
He said it was unthinkable that the revered monarch, known for promoting peace in the Niger Delta region would be a target of such mindless incident.
He expressed gratitude to God for sparing his life and called on the relevant security agencies to investigate the incident and arrest the perpetrators.
Ndiomu said: “Reports of the attempted assassination of the Pere of Tarakiri Kingdom are very disturbing. I strongly condemn it and call on security agencies to fish out those behind it.
“Our traditional rulers cannot be subjected to such traumatic experience while playing their role of promoting peace in the Niger Delta as the Pere of Tarakiri kingdom is doing. They should be protected at all times with regards to their respected institutions”.
Ndiomu also called on youths in the Niger Delta not to allow themselves to be used as agents of destabilisation, saying that such vicious attack was capable of truncating the existing peace in the region.
He said PAP was committed to continually exploring the right avenues for sustained peace and stability, working with other stakeholders.
