These bunch of senseless south-south governors have just successfully indicted themselves by justifying the avengers action. Well, let's wait and see what our leaders too will do about the request.

I call bullshìt on this one. Anybody with a brain the size of an apple would know this is a load of tripe. But then again, we're talking about Nigerians who would believe anything.
Chief. It's clear as day that the article is mostly true. Have some sympathy for your people who are suffering as a direct result of the wreck these corrupt politicians leave in their wake.
@post, I think the government should just give in and let's all start on a clean slate. It's painful, but this is what we've done to ourselves.

The wailing IPOB youths will rubbish this news from Sahara reporters cos it goes against their corrupt beliefs. But when the same news outlet broke news about buhari's ear infection, they latched on it and sucked the whole juice dry.....uhm...Yummy!


All this while, we all thought the NDA were fighting a just course. Some foolish fools who have airs for brains have been supporting them without knowing the struggle was for corrupt politicians to keep their loots- the same money meant to provide good health care, roads, schools, jobs, security, housing etc for these dumb Niger delta indigenes. And to think these shortchanged riffraffs are willing to die for this false course is something that beats my imagination. The fools thought it was a struggle for the actualisation of a Biafra already dead and buried in an unknown cemetery.

The FG should not listen to their demands, cos letting them off the hook will see them use those stolen funds to resurrect PDP ahead of 2019.

When i read your comment, it filled my heart with mixed feelings. i will adopt my pple's idiomatic expression to cite my mindset. "The situation farts in my mouth and put salt in it; the fart cant be swallowed, and it is not advisable to spit the salt". (sorry for the long story, its meant for the gods). My Dilemma; the rate at which this NDAs are attacking our economy is alarming and killing to the extent that the major operators in our ORIGINAL POWER sector are envisaging economic 'death' this time around and not 'melt down', not even 'cripple'. The point now looking from the other end is; if they allow these guys to get away with their demand through this means (dialogue), definitely, some other miscreants will gather in the north again and start threatening with missile and warships (even when there is no sea in the north) if the FG doesn't stop #Dansuki's trial. WHATAMESSWEAREIN! Nawao! God will help our visionary leaders, this is what some of them have caused.

One of the worst things to ever happen to us as a nation is the emergence of mercenary Journalism. Whilst medium like Sahara reporters can serve some good purpose sometimes and some positives may come out of their guerrilla warfare journalistic adventure, the evil they represents majorly may sound d death knell on our corporate existence

Only an incurable fool would not realise this another heap of trash , a hatchet job to tarnish the image of the Ss gov and prejudice the mind of the public against those standing trial from that region. It's been the same tactics since the inception of this administration, blackmail everyone or institution that refused to be intimidated or compromised. Election tribunal judges were either compromised or intimidated to overturn the electoral choices of the people of the Ss, when the supreme court decided to be objective and adhere to the strict interpretation of electoral laws as was done in cases of electoral disputes of Lagos and other APC controlled states , they resorted to blackmail through Sahara reporters and other cheap and irresponsible online media. No one standing trial today can be sure of fair trial, any judge who rule against d govt must have stories of bribery cooked against him and since judges cannot respond to such allegations, the silence is taken by the public as admission of guilt

Sahara reporter should know that lives of millions of Nigerians depend on the peaceful resolution of this needless crisis, polluting the path to a peaceful resolution through baseless allegations can only prolong the sufferings of Nigerians. To allege without proof that the Ss gov were sponsors of the avengers is most irresponsible and callous. We know Tinubu wants Kachikwu out but this is a very inhuman way of damaging the stellar Career of a very brilliant professional, why would the man side with looters?
What image are they tarnishing!? Is it a new development that political office holders from ND are selfish? If they are not why is the region still living the gutter life with the type of allocation it gets from the top...

The earlier the ND youths realise these people are not for them, the better

I wonder why you guys are so quick to defend them. At least it is public knowledge they were met yesterday by the VP, so if those things SR said are lies. They should defend themselves

Btw, how on earth did the Delta gov negotiate a two-week truce with the so called "faceless" grouphuh Something is not right...?
Re: South-South Governors Want Corruption Charges Dropped To Stop Pipeline Attacks by Reference(m): 9:51am On Jun 08, 2016
Let the Federal Government play along for now and push the moral burden back to the so-called South-South leaders. For them to ask for this clearly exposes the complex nature of the conflict and the need for new strategies to sift the wheat from the chaff down there. It proves leadership is a major problem there and part of the reson why this tragedy persists. The peoples of that region have got to do the purging themselves or else when the greater puzzle is solved it is they that will be left out in the cold.

APC and their propaganda machinery will never rest until anything good about the last govt is rubbed in the mud.

What's the logic in this report. The corrupt cases are mostly political and without basis. APC campaign funds came from the moon or through the sales of cattle? Their deceit and lies know no bound and nothing is too sacred for them. Governors requesting for corrupt charges to be dropped as part of measures to appeal to militants to drop their agitation including Jonathan's campaign funds is laughable. These guys are just jokers and no serious mind should take them serious.
Re: South-South Governors Want Corruption Charges Dropped To Stop Pipeline Attacks by Coolgent(m): 9:57am On Jun 08, 2016
Its now clear to even a blind Man that some South south governors & politicians are behind the terrorist group called Avengers.
But wait... what are they avenging?

End the anti corruption war if all the president wants is to jail influential figures from other tribes using anti corruption as his weapon.

If Bubuhari wants to fight corruption he should start from the richest ex governor in Nigeria.

Start from Tinubu and you'd get our support.

We know this already -- DOA though.

Shame on PDP.

Shame on Jonathan and all his cronies and sympathizers.

Shame on the people of Delta and Bayelsa who are willing to sacrifice their lands and their people's lives and future, for the loots of the Dasukis, FFKs, Badehs, Amosus, Diezanis, Kola Alukos, Lamido and sons, Sheriffs, and the whole thieving crew.

Fire the imaginary missiles already m0f0s.

I knew from the onset that these guys represent corruption just fighting back. Somehow, they gave their identity up in their name. 'Avenger'. Avenging for what? You can only avenge something done to you. Which is either power taken away, or corruption trial.

Governors of the South-South region who met with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the State House today called for a majority of the corruption cases in the region to be dropped by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), SaharaReporters has learned.

The meeting was attended by Governors of Edo, Ondo, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa, Abia, as well as the Deputy Governor of Cross River.
Our source, who was at the meeting, said that only the Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole and the deputy Governor of Cross River opposed the others, who singled out the federal government’s anti-corruption initiative as the reason why Niger Delta Avengers are blowing up pipelines in the region.

Speaking one after the other, the governors reportedly asked the Federal government to drop charges against former militants accused of corruption. They also want the EFCC to stop investigating the campaign fund scam which has so far revealed how former President Goodluck Jonathan shared funds meant that were meant for combating Boko Haram among his People’s Democratic Party functionaries.

Our correspondents also learned that the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, was curiously on the side of the South-South governors who want corruption charges and all forms of corruption investigations against the Niger Delta politicians discontinued.
The Governor of Delta, Patrick Okota, reportedly obtained a two-week ceasefire from the Niger Delta Avengers before arriving at the meeting but did not disclose it because he was uncomfortable that the Vice President wasn’t disposed to the idea. SaharaReporters learnt that through his Deputy, Mr. Okowa had extensive meetings with the Niger Delta Avengers, pointing out that it was evident that he and other South South governors knew who the militants were as he spoke at the meeting.

The source further stated that if the terms pushed by the South South Governors are fully adopted by the Buhari regime, his anti-corruption fight will die prematurely in all of the South South states. He said that from the tone of the meeting, it was clear that the Niger Delta Avengers and their activities are being funded by politicians in the region with the objective of halting Buhari’s anti-corruption war.

A press statement issued at the end of the meeting by the Vice-President’s office indicated that the federal government was represented at the meeting by the Minister of Defense, Rtd. Major General Mohammed Dan Ali; Niger Delta Affairs Minister, Pastor Usani Uguru Usani; and Dr. Kachikwu.
Also in attendance were military service chiefs, led by the Chief of Defence Staff, Lt.Gen. Gabriel Olonisakin

NO NO NO NO NO..................
If this news is true I will advice the president to ignore their demands and call for peaceful negotiations and do the needy by authorizing full scale military operations to break the Niger Delta terrorists and get hold of their sponsors and bring all dick heads to justice, since they have exposed themselves stupidly and foolishly.

What the governors are saying is that the so called avengers are fighting on behalf of their sponsors, those who looted our treasury. If God acceeds to their request, that is the end of fight against corruption and end of APC. We know those behind the avengers.

Son, I have noticed that there is one word and a phrase that has been overused and gosh, it has become stale!

PROPAGANDA and MEDIA TRIAL!

Can u folks pls give this a rest? Nobody is buying this B.S!

Why do u think the NDA hasnt denied that? Atlist they told us jst this morning that they blew an oil well! Doesnt this put a dent on their "Robbin hood" posture?

I don't believe this, drop wetin?
no no no, if this happened to be true then there is a serious problem.
what happens to the blood of thousands of innocent souls that lost their lives when the money budgeted to get arms for the military to protect them and their properties is been shared among these politicians?
that means we should go back to business as usual. it can't happen.
even if government granted their request, the blood of these Innocent souls will not allow this country to know peace until all these murders and their terrorists pay dearly for their evils. yet the country will still not breakup by whatever violence or bloodshed that may happen. NIGERIA can only be broken through violence-free true dialogue. I said it before they are only for their pockets not for the masses. it is better they start their bombing of their various targets now.
