Niger Delta Avangers Seccesion Plan, fix October 2016 to declare own republic

 In a release made available to journalist by its spokesperson, Mudoch Agbinibo on Thursay it reads,
“By October 2016, we will display our currency, national flag, passport, our ruling council and our territory to the world. “To the United Nations, we are not asking for much, but to free the people of the Niger Delta from environmental pollution, slavery, and oppression. We want a country that will turn the creeks of the Niger Delta to a tourism haven, a country that will achieve its full potentials, a country that will make health care system accessible by everyone.”


On the geographical spred of the group it debunks the information that it is made up of on Ijaws  “The Commander of Strike Team 9 of the Niger Delta Avengers is from Eastern Nigeria. So, nobody should limit this struggle to the Ijaws of the Niger Delta. The leader of Strike Team 6 that blew up Chevron Valve Platform is Itsekiri. The Commander of our elite Strike Team One is from Akwa Ibom.”

Further the Agbinibo denied the statement credited to the Minister of State of Petroleum, Mr Ibe Kachikwu that the NDA threatened his life.

“No agent or representative of the Avengers called the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Group Managing Director, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, to threaten his life.”

They took exception to be called criminal as their agitation is for the well been of the region, “ some confused elements from the region are calling the Niger Delta Avengers names, some are calling us criminals.”

In what appears to be a tall order the NDA has called on oil fields owners of Northern Nigeria extraction to vacate the region within  two weeks and  shut down their operations and evacuate their workers from the locations or face a dire consequence.

Mentioned on the list are former vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Former Minister of Defence, Theophilus Danjuma, former Lukmon Rilwanu.
