– New militant group emerges with a fresh threat to
President Muhammadu Buhari
– Lashes out at the Nigerian government for neglecting
its region in the last 50 years
– Presents demands to President Buhari, while also
stating that Nigeria is a failed state
– Says it is neither Boko Haram nor ISIS
– Calls for Nigerians’ support in its cause
A new militant group identified as ‘The Niger Delta’
Avengers in Nigeria’s Niger-Delta region, has issued a
warning to President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a press statement made available to Sahara Reporters,
the group says the president should hold a national
conference where Nigerians would be allowed to vote on
whether or not to divide the country into four self-
governing regions.
The militants, in the statement titled ‘Nigeria is a failed
entity’, also threatened to cripple the economy if their
demands are not met by the President Buhari-led federal
government.
While stating that Nigeria (which was brought together by
Sir Lord Lugard) died after 1966 and the country no longer
exists, the group stated that the region has been
neglected by the present administration of President
Buhari, and has called for a division.
“The recent happenings in the country is clear eye opener to
how the Nigerian state has derailed and its heading to
nowhere.
“A country where those in power over look the main reasons
why they were voted into power. That has showed how self
centered and selfish the people we look up to as leaders in
the country.
“When they (politicians) are elected or appointed into any
political office. Their primary aim is to enrich themselves
and influence infrastructural projects to their region.
“Clear example is the present administration where Fulani
herdsmen whom are the kinsmen of President Buhari are
above the law despite the killing and atrocities they have
committed against farmers in the south and middle belt
but the president can give a shoot on sight directive to
military against the peaceful protest of the Indigenous
people of Biafra.
“Other one is the 2016 budget where nearly all the major
projects are channeled to the North even though the creeks
of the Niger delta are in dear need of development to
improve the standard of living,” the statement read in part.
While expressing its grievances over the neglect of the
Niger Delta for over 50 years, the group revealed why they
began their militancy and despite the fact that the late
President Umaru Musa Yaradua proclaimed amnesty for
the agitators, nothing has been done about their demands.
“The Niger Delta has been neglected for more than 50 years
which gave birth to the arm struggle in the region but after
the proclamation of the presidential amnesty to all agitators
by President Umaru Musa Yara- duha little or none has
been done about the Niger delta in terms of human capital
development, infrastructural development, youth
empowerment/educational infrastructure.
“The truth is, nothing has been done about the Niger delta.
Niger Delta Development commission (NDDC) that has the
statutory mandate to develop the region is cash cow for the
northerner and their southern political counterparts.
“The Niger delta region to the Nigerian government is like
forbidding region as stated by one of our own, the minister
of transportation Rotimi Amaechi. That no parents will send
their ward to school in the Niger Delta. A reason why the
President Buhari led Administration cancelled the Nigeria
Maritime University Okerenkoko.
“Forgetting university of Port Harcourt he graduated from is
sited in the Niger Delta. He is from a poor background like
most other Niger Deltans but was able to attend university
because it was sited in his community so why depriving
other people from the region to benefit like he did? What a
shame!
“After a critical analysis and evaluation of the present
happenings we come to a conclusion that, despite the
president’s age and his cluelessness, he should call for a
sovereign national conference. Where citizens from all
regions will part take freely and decides whether the entity
Nigeria should remain or break up WITHOUT PULLING A
TRIGGER,” the statement read further.
While stating clearly what it stands for, the group, through
the statement, noted that, “The Niger delta avengers high
command, which comprises of agitators from all ethnic
groups in the Niger Delta, has concluded that if the
president fails to hear our voice and refuse to call for the
sovereign national conference.
“We will ensure its happens or we will employ our second
option by crippling the economy of the country. We won’t
stop at that but dead ready to take the fight out of the
creeks and take it to cities like Abuja, Lagos, Calabar, Port
Harcourt just to name a few. And Avengers are not
interested in taking innocent lives, but we will defend
territory and ourselves .
“The Niger Delta Avengers are not Boko Haram, we are not
ISIS. All we are asking for is a better living for the people of
the Niger Delta and self-determination that is to govern
ourselves. We will soon raise our flag and name our interim
ruling Council.
“We are calling on all Nigerians to come out and support
this cause.”

No need for another Naija delta group. If any folks in Naija delay want to be taken serious, then there aim has to simply be wanting for a natural separation of the country. Anything is is beating around the bush, for 50 years and counting

I thought we've grown past this level.

And for those calling buhari names for failing to meet demands in economy security et all how many solution have you all proposed.
