[size=18pt]Former President Jonathan, Tompolo, Akpabio, Wike, Dokpesi, Others Named As Sponsors Of Niger Delta Avengers[/size]

A group that recently split from Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), a militant organization that has claimed responsibility for bombing numerous oil facilities, has claimed that former President Goodluck Jonathan was the grand patron of the NDA. In a statement issued today by Cynthia Whyte, an alias for a male spokesman, the splinter group also named several former and serving governors as sponsors of the Niger Delta Avengers. Those named as “sponsors” included Governors Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and Seriaki Dickson of Bayelsa.
Mr. Whyte also identified Senator Godswill Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State, ex-militant turned contractor, Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo), Raymond Dokpesi, the founder of African Independent Television (AIT), the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Kingsley Kuku, Kimi Angozi, and Patrick Akpobolokemi as other sponsors.

The splinter group, which renamed itself Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA), had recently declared its opposition to NDA’s destruction of oil infrastructure in the region, warning that it would disclose the names of individuals and groups backing the militant group.

Mr. Whyte’s statement revealed that the NDA’s sympathizers included Edwin K. Clark, Tony Uranta, Daniel Alabrah, Ms. Annkio Briggs, and Olisa Metuh, a former spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The Reformed Niger Delta Avengers named Oyege Nimi Brown, VIP Timothy, Joshua Macaiver, Paul Bebenimibo and others as the main operatives of the NDA, adding that Udengs Eradiri, the president of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), also known as Brigadier General Murdoch Agbinibo, serve as the NDA’s chief spokesman.

Following the release of the list, a source close to former President Jonathan told SaharaReporters that there was “no iota of truth to the claim that former President Goodluck Jonathan has a hand in the violence in the Niger Delta.”

The source, who asked not to be identified, said he was in touch with Mr. Jonathan, adding that the former president was considering issuing a formal statement to dismiss the claims made by Mr. Whyte.

“If former President Jonathan wanted chaos in Nigeria and the Niger Delta, he would have refused to concede the election to General Buhari and the APC,” the source said.

Fool

Oyege Nimi Brown

He has better clear himself to avoid case of mistaken identity especially giving his base as Yenagoa,Bayelsa State.

Sahara Reporters again!!! Always publishing trash without proper investigation.

Oya Bubu go get those mentioned arrested.

Honestly i dnt trust d niger deltans.their greed can make them do anytn especially hearing names of thugs like wike,akpabio,dickson,tompolo then one can comfortably say there is a grand conspiracy by old ruling party to cause instability and indeed blackmail d govt of d day into cowardice

Is this all you can say for now? This is a very serious allegation and it would be a terrible thing for any innocent non state actor to be caught in the cross fire.

I urge thorough investigation into the allegation. If the accusers can come out to substantiate their claims, good.

What a lame excuse!!Goodluck Jonathan, as a southerner, would never have lasted a week in Aso rock ,Abuja, Northern Nigeria, if he dared refuse to handover. Think of a better and more intelligent alibi.

Sahara Deserters at it again..
Fake Oyewole Road news outlet..
Jonathan ko, Patience ni

When the gods want to kill people, they first make them mad. Sowore and his charlatans are now running mad.

God strike d reporter or Sahara or whoever is behind dis

Oga it won't get to A stage of even handing over, the election will be declared inconclusive ni! And there is nothing anybody could have done because he himself had over 14 millions Nigerians ( supporters) cut accross all regions that voted for him.

Labbish!!!

Why did they not name Fayose too...

No be today wey una don dey point fingers towards GEJ, GEJ is responsible for Dollar rise, Gej is responsible for NDA, GEJ is responsible for bad CBN policy

Come!! una no dey tire nii

Small time GEJ go also dey responsible for una weak erect1on...

These guys will go to any length to tarnish the good name of GEJ and taint his image.
Why? What are they scared of?
Well,the more they hate him and try to tarnish his image,the more people love him.

It seems that this Cynthia Whyte does not truly know who and who makes up the sympathizers for NDA? If she knows her onions, then I don't see the reason why the name of IPOB and other Biafrans who form the bulk of the true sympathizers of NDA should be missing from her list sorry, his list (I almost forgot that she is a male)

Businessideas:

It's still an allegation. They should show evidence and enough of all these media rubbishing of people. What stopped those who sent this to SR from sending it to the appropriate authority for investigation?

Na wa ooo

I don't believe the sympathizers list since Nnamdi Kanu, Clifford Iroanya. Emma Mmezu, Uche Mefor, Uchenna Ashiegbu and others are not on the list. The last time I checked, these are the people that celebrate with a victory lap run each time, NDA announces each a pipe well blown Job.

OP, for long these names are in the fold of DSS the govt will file s case against them the soonest.

Guy it seems u have a thing for GEJ. Even though i don't hold brief for him d way u r busy looking for a rope to hang him with Avenger call for concern. When u hate someone, it always blurred ur thinking toward such person. The security apparachik now have duty to investigate if this is true, and if GEJ is found wanting then d law shld take its course.

When will the names of the sponsors of
Boko Haram be published and interrogated

I doubt this

“If former President Jonathan wanted chaos in Nigeria and the Niger Delta, he would have refused to concede the election to General Buhari and the APC,” the source said.

He conceded of course because his fall back and default was ND which we are experiencing now.


Fast is, I don't see this kind of mindless and economic destruction going on in another region in Nigeria without daily strong condemnation by the leaders in that region or serious engagements by leaders in that community to stop the madness that's destroying their land.


It's like there's no leader or adult in that region.


GEJ/Former president, governors and former governors, senators like Ben Bruce and the rest of them are all silent and missing in action as if this is not their community getting destroyed....


Is this the reason why they are all silent?

APC be like, mention Jonathan's name to Get sympathy from Nigerians

AMEN

Leave the Yeye goats make dem dey make irrelevant noise.


And the lies and campaign of calumny continue against GEJ.

That's the business of this zoo animals.. None of my business!

You probably over rated the loyalty of Nigerian Army to him.

Oya Bubu go get those mentioned arrested.

If it is trash, why ask bubu to go get them

Wake up already!

AntiWailer:


You probably over rated the loyalty of Nigerian Army to him.

so who would have commanded the army against GEJ? Is it his chief of defence staff Alex badeh, or his chief of army staff Kenneth minimah? Or is it an old soldier like buhari that will command army to move against the commander in chief of armed forces? If you think what GEJ did by handing over was normal then ask The UN,AU ,USA ,UK and other world power why they gave him much accolades
