A group of Niger Delta militants yesterday said it had backed out of the ceasefire agreement it reached with the Federal Government.

The militants gave the Federal Government a long shopping list and warned that if the demands were not met, they would be left “with no choice than to resume hostility in the Niger Delta region.”

The group also demanded that President Muhammadu Buhari make “a categorical statement on restructuring the nation in other to bring the nation in one roof.”

The militants comprising the Niger Delta Creek Warriors, Ogunuma Camp of Niger Delta, Niger Delta Republic Seekers and Niger Delta Revolutionary Crusaders, alleged that the Buhari-led government was toying with the relative peace the region has enjoyed.

It accused government of nonchalance in implementing the agreement it reached with the pan-Niger Delta Elders Forum (PANDEF) on behalf of the people of the region.

“It has come to our notice that President Muhammadu Buhari and his subordinates do not want the relative peace we’re having now in the country. Having been waiting for long without his implementing the demands by the panNiger Delta Elders Forum on behalf of the people of Niger Delta, we have no option than to withdraw our ceasefire deal with Federal Government.

“We, therefore, give Federal Government seven days ultimatum to address our demands immediately as we cannot continue to be continuously deceived.”

The militants also warned the Federal Government not to renew the crude oil prospecting licences of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) because the multinational has not done anything for the Niger Delta region.

“We are aware that Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) applied for the renewal of oil blocs in Niger Delta and we have not seen what they have done before. Let them go offshore,” the militants said.

They demanded that the Federal Government immediately resettle the displaced Bakassi communities and implement the Green Tree agreement reached when the International Court of justice (ICJ) transferred the disputed territories in Bakassi to Cameroon jurisdiction.

Other demands include the cleanup of Ogoni and entire Niger Delta region, immediate take-off of Brass Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), adequate funding of Okerenkoko Maritime University and upgrading of the Maritime Academy, Oron to University status.

They also want immediate take off the Gelegele seaport in Edo State, budgetary allocation for the Strategic Work, Implementation Plan for Niger Delta (SWIP), the immediate award/construction of Bonny, Bodo, Abonny, Idamo Abissa, Kula road to Soku, Edem Sanga, Nembe Brass road to Akasa, Warri/Escravos/Warri to Ogulagha roads and the immediate implementation of the seaport in Ekeremor Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

Who cares, Continue bombing your land and your people, bunch of fools.

Hmmm....I support your demands but not quite sure about those hiding behind the "militant" toga to threaten and sound warnings.

Most are just criminal lazy elements who are out to fill their personal pockets riding on the back of the years of neglect the people of the delta have had to endure even when one of theirs was directly calling the shots from above..

Every ND youth wan hammer like Tompolo, Ateke et al..

They are not bombing their people or land but pipeline installations.. This is as a result of failure of government

Why can't Buhari believe in restructuring the country....

Which reputation?

Bubu has to go!

a categorical statement on restructuring the nation in other to bring the nation in one roof.”

Correct Guys

The last time a president had this clamour to go from every angle including international communities was Abacha and it's no coincidence that Abacha protégé is getting same treatment afterall Abacha never stole!

They are free to go ahead with the bombing, they should also extend the bombing to the south east, the remaining region are going to the next level.


4+4=8 until Atiku travels to USA.

Another economic hardship awaiting nigerians if they carry out their threat.

Hunger bad.

Give them $ dey shut up forever

The ND Avengers are paid $10million monthly since 2016, that's why there have been no single bombings in the region since then. Also the attempt to arrest Tompolo was dropped but was told to go into hiding for months.

Some people inside and outside the government are sponsoring the groups, as avenue to make money. The negotiations with Avengers was facilitated by Goodluck Jonathan's brother/Cousin

Nigeria is a joke

Nawaoooooo terrorrism na business ooooo

I didn't even feel the Xmas atmosphere in this country. I don't know if its only me sha.

These people are speaking on my behalf.

They also want immediate take off the Gelegele seaport in Edo State, budgetary allocation for the Strategic Work, Implementation Plan for Niger Delta (SWIP), the immediate award/construction of Bonny, Bodo, Abonny, Idamo Abissa, Kula road to Soku, Edem Sanga, Nembe Brass road to Akasa, Warri/Escravos/Warri to Ogulagha roads and the immediate implementation of the seaport in Ekeremor Local Government Area of Bayelsa State

.

Buhari no dey hear word, he won't go for restructuring.

Fools should compete in an election if they want restructuring but threatening a Head of State to take a position you want is nothing short of terrorism. Terrorism hopes to use violence to achieve a political objective.

On resettling the displaced Bakasi Indigenes PMB should once again right another of the numerous wrong done by PDP to this country. The bakasi judgment was since 2004 or there about yet PDP never deemed it right to resettle them afte4 dashing our territory to Cameroon

Why won't they, as oil revenues are being used to pay ransom to Boko Haram which uses the ransom money to acquire more arms, SACK whole LGAs of Nigeria, take more hostages?
Vicious cycle

KingOfAllIgbos:
Funny enough, this can be:

1. The militants trying to take advantage of election period like NLC , ASUU are doing...

Or

2. PMB's opponents paying them to cause trouble.

Either way their own people would suffer more from the fallout

So true. Read my post above.

It may even be some of the criminals in buhari's government

“It has come to our notice that President Muhammadu Buhari and his subordinates do not want the relative peace we’re having now in the country.




Hay man there has never been peace in this country entirely

abi na lie

Yeah 2019 is approaching, 50,000 naira each will bring peace
Peace for sale 50,000 naira only
Well, what do I know?

Remind me when the Ogoni clean up charade is carried out. I SEE NO REASON WHY ANY SENSIBLE SOUTH SOUTHNER SHOULD VOTE APCheats.
