'OLD vs NEW MILITANTS IN NIGER DELTA OIL REGION'

By Lawrence Sc Egwali 

I know that it will come to this state and
level. Connecting Jonathan to this as we can see in the post below is mere
'Bull-shit'. The FG instead of doing what
caused the protested agitation and
consequent militancy in SS, went ahead to
paying foc salaries in the name of amnesty.
Now, the youths involved in the original
amnesty payslip have grown to become
elders/fathers. Their little sons have also
grown to become the contemporary
incumbent youths of the area. If amnesty is
pacification against area youths' restiveness,
then who should be paid today's amnesty
grant; ...former youths now elders, or
current youths? This is the truth of the
matter.
The man speaking in the text below against ex-President Jonathan is
not in love with President Buhari either, he is fighting
to outwitt the challenging new youths by
feigning to be Govt friend.
If their rivalry continues like this, soon old
militants will fight war against new militants
for greed sake.
Govt should develop the region, ensure that
the people have means of livelihood as oil
has destroyed farming & fishing occupation;
then forget about amnesty for salaries that
is unsustainable. Otherwise good men who
were not bold enough to have destructive
tendencies will never benefit from FG in the
region or they will all surmon courage to
destroy govt infrastructures in order to
benefit from FG free pay. Develop the region,
that was the agitation and not amnesty.

Jonathan Founded Niger Delta Avengers, Buhari Not Our Problem – Ex-militants

The National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators, NCNDE-A, has accused former President Goodluck Jonathan of founding the new militant group known as Niger Delta Avengers.

The NCNDE-A claimed that the group was formed in January last year ahead of the March 2015 presidential election, which Jonathan eventually lost to Muhammadu Buhari of the APC.

The National President of NCNDE-A, Israel Akpodoro, who made this shocking revelation in Abuja on Friday, urged the former President to call members of the self acclaimed Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, to order.

According to him, “the Niger Delta Avengers is a creation of the ex-president aimed at thwarting any efforts made by successive administration especially that of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress, APC, administration.”

He further revealed that the threat was planed at a well-attended meeting called at the instance of a governor from the South South region in January last year with all the prominent ex-militants including Jonathan and some of his close pals in attendance.

Akpodoro claimed that the message from them as delivered by the a Special Adviser to the President then was that all ex-militants from the region should return to the creek preparatory for action should Gen. Buhari win the then coming election saying; that includes “what we are witnessing today in the actions of the Niger Delta Avengers.”

He warned his kinsmen against risking their lives for the political interest of one man.

He said, “I was bundled out of the meeting but then that is realities of what Nigerians are witnessing today.

“The former President created the monster-Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, and he alone can call them to order and that is what my group is asking him to do.

“Nigerians should hold the Ijaw leader responsible for any possible collateral damage that may be incurred in the process of exterminating that destructive rag tag group with all its sympathisers in the region.

“Our common enemies in the Niger Delta region are those governors, ministers, Special Advisers, Director Generals, Senators and other representatives from the region who participated in government and use their offices to enrich themselves at the detriment of general good.

“We must redirect our anger to those who cornered the dividends of democracy in the region buying fleet of aeroplanes, building mansions in choices cities of the world…while their people live in abject poverty.

“President Buhari isn’t our problem but our leaders from the region.

“President Buhari should not relent in his military actions against those he described as enemies of peace in the region,” he added.
