The group has threatened to make the country's economy worse by acts of sabotage, particularly in the oil sector. This was in reaction to FG's recent announcement to dole out the Boko Haram treatment to pipeline vandals.
"The recent proclamation of the Federal Government to bombard the people of the Niger Delta, as stated in Beijing, China, is a clear indicator that President Buhari and his Northern brothers-led government scales the oil in the Niger Delta far more important than the lives of the Niger Deltans," the group said.
"It is a slight on our struggle and quite embarrassing for Mr. President to liken us to his kinsmen (Boko Haram), who are hell-bent on swimming in innocent blood until they Islamize the nation," added the Niger Delta Avengers.
"The Presidency can go ahead and setup a permanent security force, as stated by the Vice President when he visited the SPDC, Forcados Terminal. We are not deterred by such threats as we are highly spirited and shall continue blowing up pipelines until the Niger Delta people are no longer marginalized by the Nigerian actors. Yes, the military have sworn to lay down their lives to protect Nigeria. We have on our part sworn to do whatever is necessary to safeguard the interest of the Niger Delta people."

Carry go brothers, its time to end this forced marriage.
Don't blame them, they have right to the oil from their land. Tell me how you will feel when some northern he goat will stay in Abuja and claim that the North has more claim to the oil in the Niger Delta than anyone in Nigeria? The stupid Senator was even quoting UN charter to back his claim. The UN charter in question was totally different from his claim that because North is has a bigger land mass, hence they automatically owns the oil in Niger Delta.
ReplyDeleteI see now that foolishness is cheap and wisdom is expensive.
ReplyDeleteThey should have a rethink because am sure later they will ask for amnesty again and by then even their people will rise against them because of the magnitude of destruction
