The Niger Delta Avengers have refuted claims that it nominated Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka; a former Abia State governor, Mr. Orji Kalu and five others to negotiate with the federal government on its behalf.
Recall that there were reports that the 7-man committee was expected to negotiate on behalf of the militant group in the eastern and central Niger Delta.
But a statement by the spokesman of the militant group, Mudoch Agbinibo, on Saturday described the claim as the work of mischief makers.

The group said the claim by enemies of the Niger Delta might be because of Soyinka’s belief that the government of the day should understand the need to restructure and listen to the Niger Delta agitation positively.
“That we, the NDA, have named Prof. Wole Soyinka and some incredible names to advise and lead any group is the Lie of The Century,” it said.
