The planned meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and the Niger Delta Avengers may collapse, the group has revealed.
The group in a statement issued by the
group and signed by Col. Rightman Hudson Opukurowari stressed that the
planned meeting with some selected leaders of the Niger Delta with
President Muhammadu Buhari may be a flop because of some of the elders
drafted into it.
According to the statement, “We
have discovered without any iota of doubt that so long as there are the
likes of Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi-Min. for Transport, Brig. Paul
Boro (RTD)- presidential Adviser, Sen. Ita Enang-SA to the President on
NASS, Dr. Ibe Ikachukwu-Min. of state for Petroleum,Gen. Adams
Oshiomhole of Edo State, Hon. Timipre Sylva – Fmr, Governor of Bayelsa
State at the corridors of the presidency, there shall be no end to this
dialogue saga.”
Okpukurowari in the statement, demanded
to know those the so call leaders are going to represent in the meeting
between the Federal Government and the so acclaimed Niger Delta leaders
coming up on October 29th, 2016, asking if it is “Self-aggrandizement?
Federal government? Or who?”
“We expect the Federal Government with
all her inexhaustible wisdom make these Niger Delta leaders lead them to
these boys in the creeks they are representing.
“That should be the first prerequisite
of their qualification to dialogue on behalf of the boys in the creeks.
They don’t represent us. Secondly, they should give government a
satisfactory road map for a genuine dialogue representing all oil
producing communities in Nigeria that may yield a permanent solution to
such repetition of restiveness in the region.
“We are concerned because these same
persons invited have become Federal Government dialogue contractors in
dialogue matters. Niger Delta militancy affairs since the 1990s to date
and President Buhari and his APC led Government are telling the world
they are not concerned with the recurring trend?
“We hope Federal Government knows where
they are leading us to? President Muhammadu Buhari, shine your eyes o!
o! oh! Nigerians say former President Jonathan was not in control. “
Now who is controlling and misleading you? You shall hear from us”, the statement stated.
