In a statement released its website
on Thursday, popular militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, has vowed to
declare the Niger Delta region an independent entity on October 1,
2016.
Recall that we reported it
yesterday that Ballantyne Agiri, the alleged spokesman for the dialogue
group of the Avengers, indicated the readiness of the group to engage
the federal government in dialogue in order to resolve the lingering
crisis.
In the new statement, Mudoch Agbinibo, the spokesman of the
Avengers, denied the report saying that Ballantyne Agiri was not
authorised to speak for the militant group, and maintained that the
Niger Delta no longer wants to be part of Nigeria.
Below is the statement in full;
OUR PRAYER FOR BUHARI.
"Our prayer for Buhari and the Northern hypocrite (Northern
Governors) is that oil should be found in commercial quantity in the
North, so they can let the Niger Delta go.
"The Buhari Led government has fail Nigerians with their
misdirected policies that has divide the country, as such nobody wants
to be part of that failed state not even the Niger Delta.
"The October 1st, declaration of independence is still
sacrosanct. If the Nigeria government fails to retrace it’s step by
restructuring this country.
"We want to warn the general public that those using NDA to defraud people days of reckoning is close.
Brig.Gen Mudoch Agbinibo
Spokesperson.
