President Buhari Is Too Corrupt To Be Trusted – Militants Allege As They Plot To Face Soldiers In Battle

The Urhobo militant group has accused President Buhari
of insincerity in addressing the challenges of the Niger
Delta region which has caused untold hardship on the
people due to years of oil exploration.
Full scale hostilities may resume in the Niger Delta
region owing to the lack of progress in the ceasefire
agreement between the Federal Government and the
nefarious Niger Delta militant groups.
The Niger Delta Avengers group that earlier announced a
ceasefire is back in operation and a recent threat
message released by the Niger Delta Greenland Justice
Mandate – militant group foretells more doom for
Nigeria.
Punch reports that the Niger Delta Greenland Justice
Mandate, on Monday said it would not join in the
ceasefire declared by other militant groups in the Niger
Delta owing to the alleged insincerity of the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government. The
militant group also alleged that the current Federal
Government was too corrupt to be trusted, threatening
that attacks on oil facilities would continue until the
government and oil firms operating in the region turn
from their ‘oppressive tendencies’ against the people.
The spokesman for the militant group, Aldo Agbalaja, in
a statement issued on Monday asked the multinational
oil companies and the military “to watch out for the
next big statement. It shall shake your imaginations.”
The statement also condemned another militant group,
the Niger Delta Avengers, for being too quick to have
announced a ceasefire with the government.
The statement added, “The chickens seem to be coming
home to roost now. The truth is dawning on the
blacklegs that are working to short-change their people
will always backfire. When the Niger Delta Greenland
Justice Mandate said we were out to engage the
oppressors to the last, some snickered and bluffed,
their indignation became most annoying when those
pretenders called Avengers gave life to our prediction
and announced a ceasefire. Now they are all coming
back to the basics; falling back in line after seeing, first
hand, that we have been right all along about the
Nigerian Federal Government; it is a corrupt system that
should never be trusted.
“However, we are using this medium to warn the
Nigerian Armed Forces to properly advise their
leadership; militarisation of our region can only lead to
an avoidable armed confrontation and if this happens,
we swear by the gods and ancestors of our land, we
shall ensure it is a long and tedious campaign that the
Nigerian state will forever regret.”
The Niger Delta Greenland Justice mandate further
threatened to launch what it termed ‘Operation
Hammurabi Code’, adding, “Until we see a sincere and
genuine step towards a just and equitable mending of
the injustices of all the years past done to our people,
this war shall persist and we can guarantee that they
cannot win this one, even if they get all the world’s
arsenal assembled behind them.
“Operation Crocodile Tears is the mildest of what the
world should expect from us, by the time we initiate the
phase II and get started with ‘Operation Hammurabi
Code’ only God knows what will then become of these
plains called Nigeria.”
