The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) have warned the federal government of consequences if fails to enter into dialogue with the right persons
The group accuses an unnamed sponsor of seeking to promote a group of negotiators from the Niger Delta
Advises the government to enter into dialogue with the right persons or risk the end of peace and tranquility in the oil-producing zone
The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) has advised the government to enter into dialogue with the right persons or risk the end of peace and tranquility in the Niger Delta region.
Militant group, the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) have warned the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari not to negotiate with traditional rulers and other personalities in Niger Delta region.
The NDA has also vowed that the federal government would face the consequences if it does not heed the warning.
The group which has been behind most attacks on oil installations in Niger Delta described the would-be negotiators as vultures.
According to Sahara reporter, the NDA in a statement issued today, September 22, by one Colonel Rightman Hudson Opukurowari, insisted that the government should instead enter into dialogue with a team co-led by Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka and Anthony Ani.
Colonel Opukurowari said on August 16, 2016, the central and eastern Avengers was formed for easier administrative convenience, adding that the NDA on August 27, 2016 unveiled the names of members of its dialogue group and demanded an “immediate exhaustive commencement of forensic audit of all Federal Government Agencies and parastatals set up with the mission and vision of developing the region from 1999 to date.”
The group said its “insistence on an audit disenchanted some nefarious, mischief makers of the region who had earlier approached [us] to influence us with money to coin the struggle to their favor on certain demands with Federal Government”.
It said an unnamed “sponsor of groups of vultures” was seeking to promote a group of negotiators from the Niger Delta who neither represent the interest of the NDA nor the people of the region.
The NDA’s queried why traditional rulers, leaders at all levels in the Niger Delta jostle to dialogue on militant issues.
It said: “Despite several oppositions and rejections we keep seeing repeated resurgence of the vultures as dialogue experts in the likes of Chief E.K. Clarke, King Alfred Diete Spiff, Tony Uranta and the Ajumogobias, etc. We (NDA) know their sponsor—Niger Delta Looter King.”
The NDA called on the Buhari administration to only dialogue with the militants’ team composed of “Mr. Ballantyne Agiri [and] headed by Dr. Anthony A. Ani and Professor Wole Soyinka'”.
It dissociated itself from the federal government dialogue with leaders of the Niger Delta (organized by King Alfred Diete Spiff) to be chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on 26th and 27th September, 2016.
It dismissed Mr. Diete Spiff as a “self-imposed misfit King of Twon Brass,” adding that his rule had caused communal clashes between Twon Brass and its neighboring communities in Brass local government area of Bayelsa state.
The NDA called on the federal government to call off the meeting scheduled for September 26 and 27 with the Diete Spiff team.
It advised the government to enter into dialogue with the “right persons” or risk the end of peace and tranquility in the oil-producing zone.
Meanwhile, a serial pipeline vandal and suspected member of the militant group, Niger Delta Avengers has been arrested by the Nigerian Navy around Sapele Council Area of Delta state, The Punch reports.
According to the report, the suspect, Abraham Suru, also known as Gabon, was arrested weeks after he had been declared wanted by the Nigerian military , over claims that he is responsible for incessant attacks on oil and gas facilities within Warri North and South-West Council areas of the state.
