Niger Delta Revolutionary
Crusaders, NDRC, one of the militant groups that asked the Pan-Niger Delta
Forum, PANDEF, led by Chief Edwin Clark, to stop all engagements with the
Federal Government, has announced that it will commence fresh attacks on oil
facilities on September 31.
“Our grievance with government is
that after the consolatory statement of the government by Prof. Osinbajo,
nothing is on ground to show sincerity by government”, NDRC said in a statement
on Sunday by its spokesperson, Izon Ebi
“Our grievance is borne out of
the insincerity of Nigeria’s past and current leaders who after using out
wealth and resources to build both Lagos and Abuja and even stealing for
themselves and their unborn children, decided to bequeath a degraded
environment to us and our children”, it added.
It noted that the agitators had
resolved and were more determined to use all necessary means “to take back our
heritage by stopping all oil and gas exploration and exportation in Niger Delta
come September 31, 2017. And when that time comes, heaven will not fall.
“We have resolved that resource control,
fiscal federalism and devolution of powers are the only panacea. Anything short
of that will not be acceptable to NDRC and the 21st century agitators of the
Niger Delta.
“Our elders and distinguished
personalities of PANDEF have tried in their advocacy. We realize that the
balancing act of being elder statesmen and resource control advocates can be a
very touchy act. That is why our goal is in consonance with the vision of Niger
Delta’s emerging youth leaders in the clamour for resource control.
“The Nigerian nation should be
grateful to PANDEF and most especially the acting President, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo, who was so sincere in trying to do things in line with the best
global practices of this 21st century, but the Nigerian elite and state, who
feed fat on the resources of the Niger Delta do not care about the plight of
the Niger Delta people.”
