Buhari had last week
announced that the Federal Government is negotiating with militants in the
region, but the Avengers have since distanced itself from the peace talks.
The Niger Delta Avengers
has alleged that the ongoing dialogue between the Federal Government and some
militants in Niger Delta is a ploy to launch a military offensive in the
region.
The group said President
Muhammadu Buhari should intensify efforts in the exploration of oil in the
North East, adding that it will not allow the government export a drop of crude
oil from the Niger Delta.
The Avengers stated this in
a statement entitled, “Your drones won’t stop us” and issued on Tuesday, July
26, by its spokesman, General Mudoch.
“Also note that you will
not be able to export one litre of crude in the Niger Delta, just intensify the
oil exploration in the North East. As for the ones in the Niger Delta, forget
about it because the Nigeria government won’t export a drop from our land,” the
statement said.
“The NDA intelligence
agency gathered that the peace talk or dialogue by the federal government is a
delay tactic employed by the federal government to enable their purchased
drones that are said to arrive latest end of August from the United State.
“This whole thing makes us
to wonder what kind of country is this. We can all see that President Buhari-
led government is a fraud. They are not serious about any dialogue and made it
seem the Niger Delta Avengers are the ones not ready for dialogue.
“Mr. President you can
purchase all the drones in Europe and Untied State. It will not stop the Niger
Delta Avengers from bringing the country’s economy to zero. The worse you can
do is to kill poor innocent people which the military is good at, but know the
Nigeria Economy will suffer,” the group added.
