President Muhammadu Buhari has lamented that Niger Delta militants were deploying high-tech technology to destroy oil installations.

Speaking after breaking fast with leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock, Buhari appealed to members of his party who had friends among the militants to talk to them.

Buhari said: “I honestly don’t know how many factions the militants are in the Niger Delta compared to the north east where you have the Boko Haram

“The technology being deployed by the militants to destroy oil installations is high tech, the way they can go on high sea and international waters and target oil installations is a national problem. It is affecting development.

“No insurance company will want to insure installations that will end up being blown up and no banks will want to finance such installations.

“Those of you who have friends among the leadership or even the militants themselves should plead with them in the name of God Almighty to take it easy.

“We need to stabilise to create employment, we need to stabilise the economy etc. I agonise over these things.

“We are in a very difficult time, so we have to organise ourselves. Anybody that says he has any other country than Nigeria should go out and see.”

The president also said that the successful conduct of the APC primaries in Edo State had given him a new hope.

He said that Ondo State was being watched very closely in order to ensure that the vote of the people counted.

Earlier, the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun had told the president that the party was pleased with what he had accomplished so far and the strong leadership he had given the country.

While admitting that the nation was going through tough and difficult time with multitude of challenges, Odigie-Oyegun said change would not come cheap or easily.

“Any meaningful development requires strong and determined leader. Things must change. Those things don’t come easily. Nigeria is clearly a difficult nation to govern,” he said.

Apart from the party chairman, other party leaders who attended the event included former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Ghali Naaba; the party’s Deputy National Chairman (South), Segun Oni; and former Bayelsa State Governor, Timipre Sylva among others.

Also present were Chief Tony Momoh, Osita Izunaso.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal and former Minister of Labour, Hassan Lawal were also in attendance.

. Buhari sef. Wetin everybody don know tay.

Haaaa

PMB we neesd referendum In Nigeria, things can't continue the way dey are.

This is to tell you these lads are to be taken seriously. They are not just a bunch of vagabonds. They are learned and quite exposed to latest technology. You can't handle them like BH.

We must employ high technology to restraint them too.

when high technology meets high technology, one must bend for the other,

says Sir Isaac Newton.

(for the product of an action (not) to be in equilibrium, there must be (un)equal and opposite reactions).

his zombies said he shud nuke the ND




he can go ahead . illiterate

You have a point here!

Then you should use high technology to secure the pipelines. Thats what an SSCE certified president would do

If those monkeys in Aso rock knew a jack, they wouldnt give these morale-boasting speech to the militants.

How can people not support them when the dumb Oga in charge is sounding so hopeless and lost?

How can the military fight these militants when the chief fighter is hopelessly giving up.

There was a country indeed.
What we have now is a joke.

GEH handed this man a peaceful Niger Delta but he came introducing ethnic and religious sentiments in givernance that havce set fire to the region

Their is no fire without a smoke! What should be in the lips of Nigerians are " who cost this? Who segment this nation by appointing one section of his people? Who through his nepotic , childish, certificateless , foolishly made some comments that energies the militant? As an old man we are made to believe that the words of elders are words of wisdom but in this case is the words of nincompoop . "A wise Man once said " sometimes when your instincts pushes you towards acting like a nincompoop (fool) surprise yourself and say nothing"

Buhari don dey beg... Now na morning...I've always said it here that the people of the region are now more educated and wiser.

The pipeline must go up in flames until the govt does the needful

You never dey lament. You are just eating from the portion of the dish you prepared.

Buhari, the most confused president ever

I thought D goro chewing bubu asked his military to declare war on militants? So why complaining.

*in Omenka voice* "Buhari will crush ND Avengers "

Segregation president of Nigeria.

Hari Bubu the deaf president.

Who the technology epp?
PMB is just patronizing them.
The learned guys can't use tech to build. They can only use tech to destroy.
South South and trouble are Siamese twins.
Mention one hightech product built by SouthSouth. Igbos are light years ahead in tech. As far back as 1960's they were launching rockets so why aren't they blowing up things now?

Seriously this is the biggest gaffe I have heard in years

Send troops to wipe them out sir. Stop lamenting

Mistakes Buhari Made

->He should have waited for the economy to be fully diversified before going after Tompolo.
->He should never have made the 97% vs 5% speech.
->He should never have cancelled the amnesty programme but instead improve on it and make sure funds are actually used effectively as it was planned to.
