‘Everybody Is Tired Of This Thing Called Nigeria’, ‘Heed Our Call For Self-Determination” – Avengers Tell Buhari
Militant group, Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), on Saturday, lashed out on President Muhammadu Buhari, saying he is “So Confused” that he now chases after shadows.
In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Mudoch Agbinibo, the militant group issued a stern warning to the president to pay more attention to their demand for self-determination, adding that Nigerians are now tired of “this thing called Nigeria.”
Reacting to the alleged arrest of some of its members, the NDA said Buhari should “stop going after soft targets.”

“The government should heed our demand of self-determination. Mr. President, everybody is tired of this thing called Nigeria.
“The ship called Nigeria is grounded right now and you are so confused. You lie to your foreign allies, your citizens on daily basis. Mr. President, you even lie to yourself.
“Even if we are going to dialogue, it will be in the present (sic) of international community”.
speaking further about the recent arrest of its alleged members, Prince David and Felix Ebiador by the Nigerian Navy, the NDA lashed out on the Commander of Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS Delta) Warri, Commodore Joseph Dzunve, describing his act as one who is attending to duty to please his boss.

“How are those innocent boys connected to NDA? We don’t know Prince David and Felix Ebiador, they are not part of us. All NDA operatives are intact. No security operative has arrested any of our members.
“What the Commanding Officer, NNS Delta, is doing is to please his boss that he is working. Must he connect innocent people to us? Very soon the general public will know the truth about Nigeria Military especially Nigeria Navy that specializes in illegal oil bunkering”, it added.
“Even the Chief Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, made it clear while briefing the Senate that Nigeria Navy is unequipped to match the Niger Delta Avengers. So, how can well-trained NDA members bring themselves so low to be arrested by those criminal elements (Nigeria Navy)?
“They should follow the path of honor and morality by telling their Commander in Chief the truth instead of arresting innocent civilians tagging them as NDA operatives. The days of wire and battery are over we are far advance in gorilla warfare” said the NDA.
Recall that the Niger Delta Avengers on July 22, refuted reports making the rounds that it was in peace talks with Federal Government, adding that if the reports were in anyway true, it means Buhari is in talks with his mercenaries.
