Akpabio Denies Link With Niger-Delta Avengers by ibibiofirstlady(f): 9:13pm On Aug 07, 2016 |
The Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio has denied being the sponsor of the militant group, the Niger Delta Avengers or any other militant group for that matter. A recent online publication had alleged that a splinter group, the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers had claimed Senator Akpabio and other eminent Nigerians were the sponsors of the group. But a release signed by the Special Assistant on Media to the Senate Minority Leader, Mr Anietie Ekong described the publication as “baseless, reckless and senseless. It is a fabrication from the pit of hell from those who are profiteering from the crisis in the Niger Delta and would wish no end to it.” According to the press statement, “for the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that Senator Akpabio has no link with the Niger Delta Avengers or any other militant group for that matter. “Contrarily, the position of Senator Akpabio as a foremost advocate of dialogue in resolving the Niger Delta crisis is well known. He is of the strong belief that blowing up pipelines and causing further environmental pollution of the Niger Delta is not in the interest of the region as it would take over 100 years to remediate the effects of such environmental degradation. “Neither does he believe that economic sabotage at a time of economic recession that the nation is presently passing through can be an answer to the Niger Delta problem. “His abhorrence of violence in conflict resolution is legendary. Therefore it beats our imagination why anybody in a right frame of mind would contemplate associating his name with militancy and degradation of a region he had laboured so much to build while serving as Governor of Akwa Ibom State between 2007 and 2015. "Coming from Sahara Reporters, we take it as one in a series of falsehood they have fabricated against Senator Akpabio. We recall the national uproar which followed a similar concoction on December 10, 2015 when Sahara Reporters “authoritatively confirmed” that Senator Akpabio had been sacked from the Senate by an Appeal Court which had not even delivered its judgment at the time of the publication. It turned out to be a hoax when the election of Senator Akpabio was later upheld by the Appeal Court," the statement said. It cautioned that politicizing the Niger Delta crisis through propaganda will amount to an ill wind that will blow nobody any good. “Rather what the nation needs is concerted efforts by stakeholders to holistically through dialogue address the grievances of the region which luckily President Muhammadu Buhari has already started,” it concluded.

As much as I condemn NDA and want their sponsors unmasked, I still thinkwe have to be very careful. Personally, I don't take the expo from both RNDA and NDA serious, I believe that DSS and the army should not relent in unmasking the culprit (s) behind them. 1 Like |

Funny.Was anyone expecting any of those accused to say, "I am sorry Nigerians,i sponsored NDA,forgive me, I wud stop sponsoring them". That NDA has big time sponsors is not in doubt.Its only in Nigeria that 1+2+3 that should equal 6;is subjected to analysis to know if it shud instead be 3+2+1;and if so then the answer cannot still be 6. Meanwhile why are all of them attacking SR?They only reported a press release by a NDA splinter group,why now make it look as if they were the ones that originally authored the accusations. 5 Likes |

Re: Akpabio Denies Link With Niger-Delta Avengers by Oildichotomy(m): 12:43am On Aug 08, 2016 |
The sponsors can be anybody from APC to PDP. But truth be told, Many well-meaning Niger Deltans give moral support to the Avengers cause, not because of anything else but because it seems fair and just. And I don't blame them for it. The focus on oil and not the people should just stop already and if it is NDA foolish endeavour will make that happen. So be it, I am not one bit perturbed 3 Likes |

no one should expect any of the name mentioned to not deny his involvement with the the militants, the government should go ahead and begin investigation on them because records has shown that you can't take any news from Sahara reporters for granted. 1 Like |

In as Much as I don't really like Akpabio's Ideologies. He should not be framed by the federal government We all know RNDA is a Splinter group Created by the Federal government to intimidate the NDA Akpabio is as clean as White Kerchief when it comes to Militancy, He steals the masses money only! |

Why attack Sahara Reporters? They only published the list released by the RNDA. Though I'm not convince by your denial. The same man that said SW is the most peaceful section in Nigeria and we all know what happened afterwards... |
