A splinter group of the Niger Delta Avengers, Reformed Niger Delta Avengers, RNDA, has insisted former President, Goodluck Jonathan is the grand patron of the Niger Delta Avengers, threatening to reveal more sordid details about his connection with the Avengers.

The group in a statement made available to DAILY POST, detailing how NDA was was formed with the sole objective of taking over from the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND and countering their activities, said it understands why Jonathan denied the NDA.

The statement signed by its Spokesperson, Cynthia Whyte said, ”It therefore did not come to the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA) as a surprise that the Grand Patron of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has distanced himself from the NDA.”

Like every sponsor, sympathizer and operative earlier mentioned who has equally denied links with the Avengers, we can understand the wisdom behind their decision; as their participation was always meant to be covert.”

The statement further disclosed that ”after a clandestine meeting in Otuoke, Bayelsa state in 2014 between the Grand Patron and several unidentified persons ahead of the Presidential election campaign of 2015, it was agreed that the Okah brothers should be contacted to reach out to the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) to endorse former President Goodluck Jonathan, and work with the group of persons to ensure victory for the PDP and President Jonathan.”

The statement reads in full…

“To cut a long story short, NDA was formed to counter MEND but failed. The statement, however, said that the RNDA is not surprised that the alleged grand patron of the NDA, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has distanced himself from the NDA.”

At the time, because MEND was the suggested tool, the NDA as a body was not yet formed.”

Mr Kingsley Kuku and Mr. Gordon Obuah, SA on Niger Delta and Chief Security Officer to President Jonathan, respectively were selected to visit Charles Okah in Kuje prison. Mr Daniel Alabrah was given the assignment to draft an endorsement statement for Charles Okah to go through and pass on to MEND.”

The duo reported back that they had visited Okah in Kuje prison at night with the promise of his release along with others should he cooperate to get MEND to endorse Jonathan.”

It therefore came as a shock when MEND did the opposite and endorsed Buhari. Mr. Jonathan was livid with anger and swore that the Okah’s would rot in prison.”

It was also agreed that a show of force beput up in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state where ex-militants led by Government Ekpemupolo and Kingsley Kuku would threaten war should the electorate vote in Buhari’s favour.”

It was around that period the idea of forming the Niger Delta Avengers was conceived. In fact the name “Avengers” came from the lips of Goodluck Jonathan.”

As election day approached, certain stakeholders were mobilized to form a force to standby and ensure total anarchy in the South-South and South-East within 24 hours if the election results were not favourable to Jonathan. It took everyone by surprise to learn that Mr Jonathan had conceded defeat even before the final results were released. The standby force who were to attack specific targets were told to stand down. They were all compensated in US dollars cash.”

The Niger Delta Avengers was born from the failure at the polls and would now be used as an organ to make the Buhari government ungovernable, bring economic hardship and cause hatred for the administration towards failure at the 2019 general elections.”

MEND was aware of this plot through a spy that could not be identified, and the group began its campaign to counter every effort of the NDA and the Biafra agitators to this day. MEND has been a thorn in the flesh because MEND’s successful propaganda has caused the split in our ranks today.”

If former President Jonathan provokes us further with denials of this revelation, we will reveal more sordid details. The prison authorities in Kuje who witnessed the closed door meeting from the outside can attest to that night visit of November 2014.”

Very unconvincing, absurd and mendacious story.
Why would Jonathan set up a force to cause anarchy in south-south in case he loses the election and ‘surprisedly’ concede to his political adversary?

MONITZ:
Very lame propaganda, of what electoral value are the okah brothers?They have been in prison well tucked away ever since and I didn't even know them to be politicians other than being gun runners.

If Cynthia is saying Jonathan is behind the N.D.A. so who is behind Boko Haram ?.

Abeg Cynthia or whatever her name is should play another song because this one obviously won't stick.

cktheluckyman:
Cynthia White and Gbomo Jomo are pseudo names which can be used by anyone who was ever a part of MEND and had access to the email passwords.This is obviously someone sympathetic to the okah brothers trying to fabricate a story to link GEJ to the NDA.
If they want to prove they were ever part of the NDA, then they should show us their hideouts

Abagworo:


In all honesty I strongly believe Jonathan could have a hand in many bombings that took place in Nigeria during his 6 years as President.

michelz:

To what aim exactly?
To destabilize his own government?
I think you guys should be mindful of the kind of allegations you make against someone. Some actions have a awy of coming back to bite someone's behind.
