Nigeria, May 13, 2016 – The Niger Delta Avengers that has given major owners of Oil blocs in the Niger Delta to shut down operation and leave the region to avert total war, has unfolded the reason behind its recent agitations.
In a statement, Spokesperson of the group, Col. Mudoch Agbinibo said the group desires a country that will turn the creeks of the Niger Delta into tourist haven, where indigenes will realize their full potential.
The group which said it plans to display its c currency, flag, passport, ruling Council and their territory to the world in October called on the United Nations to free the people of the Niger Delta from environmental pollution, slavery, and oppression.
“We want a country that will turn the creeks of the Niger delta to a tourism heaven, a country that will achieve its full potentials, a country that will make health care system accessible by everyone”, and that the task is unattainable in Nigeria under present composition.
“ So we are calling on the Ban Ki-Moon Secretary General United Nations and all Heads of the government of the five Permanent Security Council members to come to the aid of Niger delta people. We are calling on world leaders to come to the Niger delta to see the atrocities committed by the Nigeria government”, the group said.
It acknowledged that without taking any innocent life, it has been able to shut down 50% of crude production.
It noted that the motive of ex-agitator, Government Ekpemupolo is primitive compared to what it sets out to achieve.
“Our agitation is more civilize than yours the Niger Delta Avengers is more concern with people of Niger Delta unlike you (ex-agitations) that were into kidnapping, killing of Nigeria soldiers, sea pirates, vessel and tanker hijacking. But we were able to carry out all our operations without killing a fly. We have sophisticated arms far better than what you use to have during your kidnapping days”, the group said.
The group accused President Muhammadu Buhari of dictatorial tendencies without regards to rule of law.
“You think the Niger delta region is full of animals, who are going to frustrate your government. Your government that is not following rule of law, unlawful detention of innocent people just likes of Nnamdi Kanu. All he wanted was to let his people go. Nnamdi Kanu didn’t carry any arm against this country but was incarcerated. We want you to know that’s no civilize President will behaves this way. If that is how you devised to run the country we will prefer you do that in the northern region.
“When couples are tired of living together to make peace they go their separate ways. That is what Nnamdi kanu and the Niger deltans are asking”, the group said and accused the President of knowing nothing about the Niger Delta .
“You haven’t been to the Niger delta, how can you know what the people are facing I believe your Vice will tell how the region is suffering and under developed when he visited the Forcados Terminal. That is if he ever looks out of his helicopter window”, the group said.
It also made analysis of oil blocs in the region and concluded that 90 percent of the oil blocks are owned by Northerners and wonders if the North would have allowed people from the Niger Delta to own just a fraction if the oil was domiciled in Northern Nigeria.
