Goodluck Jonathan
Adaka Boro Avengers, a Niger Delta militant group, has revealed why it refused to declare a republic of Niger Delta.
The group said said it cancelled its planned declaration of a Niger
Delta Republic after appeals from Ijaw leaders, including ex-President
Goodluck Jonathan.
According to The Punch, a statement issued by the spokesman of the
group, Edmos Ayayeibo, reiterated its determination to cripple the
nation’s economy until President Muhammadu Buhari showed a sincere
desire to dialogue and restructure the country.
ABA, which is also an affiliate of the dreaded Niger Delta
Avengers, also warned the federal government against entering dialogue
with the defunct Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND)
if the government wants peace in the oil-rich region.
The statement reads in part, “We adhere to the voice of our
people, because our struggle is for the Niger Delta people and not for
selfish reason. But this is not the end. More is yet to come. Our
mission to cripple the economy of the Nigerian nation will not stop
until the Nigerian government is ready to sit on a roundtable to
dialogue and to restructure the Nigeria.
“We received calls from prominent leaders like Dr. Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan, Mrs. Ankio Briggs, Chief E. K. Clark and especially King
Alfred Diete Spiff calling on the freedom fighters to abort their
mission to declare Niger Delta Republic.
“Unless that, we will not stop until Nigeria becomes a zero
economy. We are also saying this for the benefit of President Muhammadu
Buhari and Nigerian government to stop wasting their time with those
greedy fellows that call themselves MEND because nothing good will come
out of them rather than sabotage.”
“Everything they are saying, not even one will be accomplished.
We will never agree with anything they say and henceforth MEND should
watch their back because we have tolerated them for a very long time.
“Enough is enough, since they want to set confusion in the Niger Delta we will start from them.”
