Reformed Niger Delta Avengers Discloses How NDA Was Formed by olash007: 7:25am On Aug 11, 2016
The Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA) has
threatened that should former President Goodluck
Jonathan further deny being the Grand Patron of the
Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), it will reveal more
sordid details of their relationship.
The threat is contained in a statement on Wednesday
signed by spokesperson “Cynthia Whyte, in which he said
the very name, “Avengers”, was first mouthed by Mr.
Jonathan.  “Cynthia Whyte” is an alias for the RNDA
spokesperson.
Whyte noted that NDA had been formed to counter the
Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger
Delta (MEND), but failed to achieve that objective, adding
that it has not surprised the RNDA that Mr. Jonathan,
as NDA Grand Patron, has distanced himself from the
violent group.
“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 becovert,” the
spokesperson said.
Whyte recalled that following a clandestine meeting
in Otuoke, Bayelsa State in 2014 between the GrandPatron
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
MEND to endorse Mr. Jonathan and to work with the group
of persons to ensure victory for the PDP and President
Jonathan.  MEND was the suggested tool at the time, the
spokesperson said, because the NDA as a body was not yet
formed.
“Mr. Kingsley Kuku and Mr. Gordon Obuah, [Special
Adviser] on Niger Delta and Chief Security Officer to
President Jonathan, respectively were selected to visit
Charles Okah in Kuje prison,” the spokesperson said.
“Mr. Daniel Alabrah was given the assignment to draft an
endorsement statement for Charles Okah to go through and
pass on to MEND.
According to the account, both men reported back that they
had visited Okah in Kuje prison at night with the promise of
his release along with others should hecooperate 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 Okahs would rot in prison.
He said it was also agreed that a show of force be put up
in Yenagoa, 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.”
He further stated that the Niger Delta Avengers was born
from the failure at the polls and would now be used as an
organ to make the Buhari governmentungovernable, 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,”
the spokesperson said, adding that MEND has been a
thorn in the flesh because its successful propaganda has
caused the current split in the ranks of the NDA.
Whyte concluded: “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.”

Don't not trust politicians either PDP or APC. Their heart is wicked. My advice for we youths, don't let them turn ourselves against each other. That's what they want.
