Stop Destroying Pipelines, Ex-militants Warn Niger Delta Avengers by sabacity(m): 8:32pm On May 21, 2016 |
Former militant leaders, under the aegis of
Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiative,
have urged the Niger Delta Avengers to embrace
peace and stop their unnecessary destruction of
pipelines and national assets.
The LPCDI, the umbrella body of most of the first
phase ‘Generals’ in the Presidential Amnesty
Programme, made the call after rising from an
emergency All Niger Delta Security Stakeholders
Meeting in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital.
The ex-militants in a statement signed by the National
President, LPCDI, Reuben Wilson, aka ‘General
Pastor’, and made available to our correspondent on
Saturday, told the Avengers that the use of violence to
agitate for the betterment of the region was no more
necessary and had been overtaken by events.
Wilson, therefore, asked the NDA to rather channel
their grievances to President Muhammadu Buhari
through the office of the Special Adviser to the
President on Niger Delta Affairs, Brig.-Gen. Paul
Boroh (retd.) for more effective result.
He warned them that their current violent campaign
was not in the best and collective interest of the Niger
Delta but would rather impoverish the people of the
region, attract unnecessary hardship and worsen their
plight.
Wilson appealed to the Niger Delta people to give
President Buhari the opportunity to fulfill his promise
to the region by maintaining peace, saying there could
not be any meaningful development in an environment
ravaged by violence.
He added, “The Niger Delta struggle has advanced
beyond the use of violence. We had in the past used
violence to attract the entire world to the plight of the
region.
“We, therefore, need to utilise other peaceful and civil
means to build on the sympathy of the world towards
the Niger Delta for more effective results rather than
resorting to violence.
“That the current resurgence of militancy is an
unnecessary distraction to the current administration.
“That all groups and individuals actively involved in
the Niger Delta struggle should channel their
grievances to Buhari through Paul Boroh for more
effective coordination and positive resolution of their
grievances.
“That every Ijaw group or persons involved in region’s
struggle that for any reason is unable to utilise the
office of the SA to President on Niger Delta Affairs to
resolve issues bordering on the betterment of the
region or Ijaw ethnic nationality should utilise the
platform of Ijaw Youth Council or reach out to Victor
Ebikabowei, aka General Boyloaf, to mediate in the
resolution of such issues.” http://punchng.com/59374-2/ |

They should destroy all the pipelines and assets in sight. Level the entire region to the ground and make a Borno 2.0 out of it. "The more the chaos, the merrier" I could remember one of my PDP friends on NL said. |

I'm beginning to suspect economic sabotage on the part of the oil companies. How come this new group all of a sudden comes out of nowhere, and starts causing damage without first making demands of the government? The blow up pipelines first and make requests later. And let's stop all this nonsense of "Boko haram was meant to destabilise GEJ's government and NDA are their arch nemesis." 1 Like |

It's very commendable that good heated Niger Deltans have been calling press conference and speaking out to condemn the evil works of these saboteurs. I hope it's not tongue-in-cheek anyway. Whatever, it's a good thing. |
