Worried by the incessant attacks on oil facilities by the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, and other factional Militants, President Muhammadu Buhari Friday night went spiritual, pleading with militants in God’s name to have a change of heart over their attacks. The president who stated that he doesn’t know how many factions of the militants there are in the Niger Delta, said that the groups were armed with sophisticated weapons and that the economy was on its knees following the bombing of gas pipelines. He also pleaded with friends and associates of the militants to reach out to them for, stressing that Nigerians do not have any other country to call their own other than Nigeria. The president made the call at the breaking- of-fast dinner with leaders and chieftains of his political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. He said: “I honestly don’t know how many factions of the militants there are in the Niger Delta compared to the north east where you have only the Boko Haram “The technology being deployed by the militants to destroy oil installations is high tech, the way they can go on high sea and international waters and target oil installations is a national problem. It is affecting development. “No insurance company will want to insure installations that will end up being blown up and no banks will want to finance such installations. “Those of you who have friends among the leadership or even the militants themselves should plead with them in the name of God Almighty to take it easy. “We need to stablise to create employment, we need to stabilise the economy, I agonise over these things. We are in a very difficult time, so we have to organise ourselves. Anybody that says he has any other country than Nigeria should go out and see.”

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

I wish 'they' just come out and dialogue without making outrageous demands!

If only Buhari had called these boys very early when they started, we've not have gotten to this stage but he proved that he was a general and wanted to deal with them like boko haram terrorists but today his on his knees begging and calling on people to beg on his behalf. Well the bad news is he is coming out too late because these boys have already done the damage but the good news also is that it's better late than never.
Bubu the son of hari muhammadu receive some sense and stop listening to your arrogant northern elders.Nigeria is ours but we will all destroy it if we allow our ego to go before reasoning.

It takes courage for a great leader to bury his pride and apologies for his misleadings. I think president Buhari should be commended for this wonderful remarks, I humbly join the patriotic citizens of this noble country to beg our aggrieved brothers in other regions to plz seize fire and seek for peaceful dialogue with this govt. With war, an able youths will strike and soak up with heavy bloods while the grey hairs will run hills with empty stomach. Let maintain peace my people!

See as them don bend this article, chai
Truly the Ng govt are at the mercy of Nigerian media and bloggers

Mr President should hold onto the Lifeline offered by the boys in the creek for discussion and negotiation, instead of alluding to FACTIONS IN THE DELTA. Mr President by his speech and disposition shows he is not prepared to EMBRACE NEGOTIATION FOR PEACE. Boko Haram is a single unit that the Government has been unable to extricate a comittment to PEACE, so why mention them if it is not to repudiate PEACE.

Buhari giving them sleepless nights, that's why they won't stop posting fake news
