Militant group, NIGER Delta Avengers, NDA, has warned that if President Muhammadu Buhari rigs his way back to office, it would once again cripple the country’s economy.
The group, which rejected the
purported plan to endorse President Buhari by some ex-militant leaders,
said Nigeria should be prepared for a perpetual recession if Buhari
insists on imposing himself on the people, “as we shall not relent until
oil stops to flow in the pipes that braces our feet in our land.”
NDA
Spokesperson, self-styled “Brig Gen” Mudoch Agbinibo, in a statement,
asserted that, “As a warning and closing note; we want to resound it to
members of the International Community, multinational corporations and
subsidiaries’ operatives to withdraw their workforce and services from
Niger Delta within the period of this elections.”
The group said,
“We are in charge of the struggle now and our strike teams are active
and gallantly waiting to receive instructions from the high command to
cripple the Nigerian Economy again if Buhari is rigged back to office.”
“And
this time, it will be a perpetual recession for Nigeria, as we shall
not relent until oil stops to flow in the pipes that braces our feet in
our land,” it said.
Avengers said the warning to the
multinational corporations was for them “not to be casualties to the
ongoing securitization and provocation in the Niger Delta by the
Nigerian military command.”
However, while it lambasted Boyloaf,
Tompolo, Shoot-at-Sight, Ateke and Farah Dagogo for the planned
endorsement, Tompolo and Dagogo had Wednesday publicly dissociated
themselves from the endorsement.
Describing Buhari as an enemy of
the people of Niger Delta, NDA, said, “We are adopting Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar, as the sole candidate to be voted for by all the people of the
Niger Delta as a result of his political ideology, which is in tandem
with our agitation for equitable and fair principles of federalism.”
“
The high command is convinced that when elected come February 16Th,
2019, the government of Alhaji ( Dr) Atiku Abubakar will not only
restructure Nigeria, but will reverse the inimical ownership rights to
natural resources alongside promises that falls within the basis upon
which we declared” Operations Red Economy” against the evil government
of Nigeria.
“We use this medium to advise Alhaji Abubakar that
when elected into office, the cardinal demands of restructuring of
Nigeria should kick start within six (6) months to forestall further
agitation from the Niger Delta,” it said.
