President Buhari Vows To Storm Niger Delta With Military Force By Month End by kelechiodo(m): 2:28pm On Jul 17, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, said he would shift his attention to the Niger Delta at the end of this month to decisively deal with the issue of oil theft in the country.
This is even as he, again, vowed to break the vicious circle of corruption, insecurity and downturn in the nation’s economy, which has led to massive unemployment in the nation.
President Buhari, who made the remarks in an interview on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) last night decried the effect of oil theft to Nigeria’s economy and vowed that his administration would begin to tackle the menace at the end of July.
He explained that the shift in attention would be possible because the multi-national forces that would fight the Boko Haram insurgency would have been fully in place in the country by then.
The president said his administration would streamline the management of funds from the oil-sector and noted that he had already started the process by ensuring that all funds from the sector goes to the Federation Account.
Buhari said: “The amount of crude being stolen, the sabotage and the vandalism of our pipelines have cost the country a lot. If people know the cost of the crude we lose through the activities of theft and vandals, they would be amazed.
“So, we are going to sanitize that sector and ensure that we plug all the leakages. We are trying to get the technocrats in the private sector to help us so that we can also help ourselves.
“The cost of corruption is so high that we are trying to ensure that revenue from agencies like the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) go into the federation account and is not diverted.”
He also promised to expand the nation’s income by focusing on alternative sectors to oil.
President Buhari also lamented that Nigeria was yet to have steady power supply even after having spent about $20 billion to fix the nation’s power sector.

Now that's a President talking.

In other words, the kids gloves have been taken off. The Kids Gloves that President Goodluck Jonathan wore during his tenure, and finally some real MAN has arrived to BUHARI the ATEKE'S,TOMPOLO,ASARI,EDWARD CLARK.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it’s natural manure.(Thomas Jefferson) So, if it is people from my part of Nigeria(SS) that wants to hold us back, then i say let us water the tree of Liberty with their bloods. Jerry Rawlings did it in Ghana, and today Ghana is reaping the rewards.

We cannot allow any region in Nigeria, hold us back from marching ahead.

But why so much obessision with Niger delta. The other day, it was calabar, now the entire Niger delta area. why not channel the whole military resources towards eradicating Boko Haram before waging another endless war.

BH is killing and maiming a lot of people, he's more concerned about oil theft. I want to see how this pans out, declaring war in the ND will only complicate issues, and I mean from a military, political and economic perspective. This is not the time for this; how many wars is he gonna fight? With what resources? Has he forgotten so quickly this is not a military era, anyway good luck to him.

But if you are a terrorist killing, pillaging and causing mass destruction on daily basis, you must be given a free reign to practice your 'vocation' like PMB is doing to his own people in the north, right?

Honestly I wish we can meet. I'm niger deltan and your comments on watering the land with our blood is the beginning of your failure. Statements like this causes war and going through your comments you're either a kid or someone who has lost all in life and is frustrated. I pity you and your family because wen push comes to shove I wonder if you can stand facing the barrel of a gun.

Funniest thing is that people like you are so irrelevant in the scheme of things and only try to seek relevance online ranting like demented dogs and an issue conceived out of wedlock. Before you think of shedding our blood for the sake of liberty, your family and loved ones would have been wiped out and when you cry to the hills for help you will discover mincing words like a warrior does not make you one.

Looking at the issues in Nigeria we know the parasites and you seem to be one of them. We have excess crude account ECA, when are we going to have excess groundnut account or excess mining account.? There are lots of injustice going on and if as demented as you reason you think this is 1967 then you need a crash course on how advanced people have become over the years.

Make one wrong move in this nation and you will be surprised at the will and sheer strength of the Niger deltans. You will be marvelled at the level of funding that will flow to the region to sustain war and who do you think will lose? It's you lazy idiots that wait for government dividend to live your life. It's idiots like you thay wait for oyel money to get allocation to state. It's idiots like you that are too lazy and mentally bankrupt to derive legitimate sources of income apart from government funds.

I nor even get too much word to tell you. Had it been wishes were horses... Painful thing is that people like you understand properly only wen the head is off.
