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.

Face of democracy pipe line bombing...

How come I believed this without thinking twice? The conditions these fools gave to stop pipeline bombings gave them away as Jonathan and cohort's instruments. They wanted Dasuki, Kanu and other criminals released.

I knew the hatman was never a man of peace!

I am nt suprise, i saw it coming.

Only a blind man will argue.





NDA is politically motivated na today you knw

True or not, d only secret kept, is that known only to urself! Even Baba God that created man, can't/doesnt determine his ways!

Bunch of confusion, they said the reason for their brkup is because Goodluck Jonathan told them to seize fire and now Na Goodluck b their papa patron...i laff naija, maybe this Na season 2, episode 3...

Exactly, their silence was very obvious.

More like silent support. They only started talking from the sides of their mouths when their silence was getting suspicious.

I can only see this as another form of setup but I trust Mr. President is a wiser man than we think. His ways of handling issues is never in doubt and I know he will continue to do a good job in handling these situations.
