Four militant groups in the Niger Delta region have warned oil companies operating in the region to suspend production until the conclusion of dialogue with the government.

In a statement on Sunday, the agitators warned of severe consequences should the oil firms fail to heed their warning.

The militant groups include, Adaka Boro Avengers, Niger Delta Creek Warriors, Ogunuma Camp of Niger Delta and Niger Delta Revolutionary Crusaders.

The statement signed by self-styled General Edmos Ayayeibo (Adaka Boro Avengers), General Woi Izon-Ebi (Niger Delta Revolutionary Crusaders), General Christ Etarotu (Niger Delta Creek Warriors) and General Akpaingolo Yins (Ogunuma Camp of Niger Delta), on behalf of agitators also demanded the Pan-Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, to stop negotiating with the Federal Government on behalf of the region.

According to the statement, ‘’The Federal Government of Nigeria has taken the people of the Niger Delta region as blind people. The Niger Delta region has been ripped off. Up till now, none of the demands of the Niger Delta people to the Presidency has been implemented.

“The Vice President who toured the Niger Delta region has not fulfilled any of the promises he made. Our resources are being used to finance projects in the North and West. Up till now, our boys are still in the custody of the Federal Government, detained without trial. Several Niger Delta activists and agitators, like Alex Odogu, Ebiware, Aboy Muturu, Bounanaowei Smith, Ezekiel Daniel, Monday Ebimene and Churchill Oghoneye are still being detained by the Federal Government.’’

The agitators’ described the recent tour of the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo to the region as political jamboree.

Noting that Osinbajo did not visit areas that needed to be developed, they said: ‘’Why did the acting President not tour the oil producing communitíes to see how these people are suffering. The people need good roads, railway, water, good hospitals and jobs. What has the Federal Government done to the black carbon emissions emanating from oil companies?

“Right from the ceasefire agreement reached by the various agitators in the Niger Delta and the Federal Government on the ground that the Federal Government will set up a dialogue committee, up till now the Federal government has no plan to set up any dialogue process.

‘’For reasons stated above, we hereby call on all the multinational oil companies operating in the Niger Delta to cease operation for now in their own interest. They should cease operation forthwith until matters of the Niger Delta region are addressed.

“We also call on PANDEF to hands off issues of the Niger Delta region because nothing tangible has been achieved by PANDEF in its mediation with the Federal Government on behalf of the Niger Delta region.”

Jez passing by! Ftc tho

make buhari go back now

NDA=PDP. I'm convinced now after 50+ days of no PMB it's quiet but now as soon as he returns it's beef again? Fool me once...

Idiots ranting!

Fight for your right brothers.

This warning may just send Buhari back to his hospital bed.

The NDA has taught me not to write of any group,when they started initially they were called names,as time went on,we witnessed how sophisticated,precise and clinical their attacks were,which sent shock waves down the spine of the oppressors

Think what u want, some of u don't even know dat GEJ suffered vandalism setback also! It was so bad den dat the Senate prescribed death penalty 4 vandals as d solution.

Avengers stopped bombing long ago and reached a ceasefire agreement. Now an observer like u should ask if d terms of d agreement has bin strictly adhered to. We are talking of a region wea u can b picked up and tortured without proof, and d army can just call ANYBODY a militant.

I pray oil is found in ur state so u can enjoy what oil communities are enjoying.

Anambra is lobbying to become an oil producer. I don't doubt the injustices being done to the region but the NDA seems to have peculiar timing with their threats.

No threat while VPYO was acting but as soon as PMB lands it's ultimatums? The delta has been ravaged for over half a century. That's not up for disputing. But the government is actually attempting to use the funds to make right the wrongs of yesterday.

Blowing pipelines will only worsen the situation. The civilian population being molested by soldiers won't decrease with renewed bombardment of oil installations. I want justice for the region but this is not going to achieve it.

The government on their own part needs to be more proactive because it's not only when threats and bombing occur that attempts should be made for dialogue. They are tired of talking they want results. The FG can do way more at present to calm the region but they keep trying to slow play the ND and they aren't going for it.

As for Anambra it shall be well. Egbogah is at the helm of the oil and gas sector on the government side. He is a world renowned technocrat who is responsible for the amnesty program and the original PIB. He'll make sure OPCs in the state are well taken care of.

This is Nigeria, implementation of ANY policy that would enrich d masses is always stalled or plagued with hiccups even in dis REGIME. I like ur faith and patriotism buh dea is a whole lotta difference BTW oil exploration and standard practice in Nigeria. What has befallen d Niger Delta would befall ANY oil producing community albeit not in similar proportions..

It's A NIGERIAN THINGY
