You can never win the Niger Delta oil war, Avengers tells Buhari
*Niger Delta militants
(Nigeria) Niger Delta militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, has told President Muhammadu Buhari that his deployment of military to the Niger Delta region can only win him a battle and not the oil war.
It added that “We cannot be deceived by the so glamorized
ongoing military operations in the creeks of Ijaw communities in the Delta
coded Operation Crocodile Smiles. The
world should know that with your pronouncement in Kenya and your attitude to
the military build up in the Niger Delta, it is crystal clear that the military
has nothing less than a pre-determined genocide in Niger Delta.”
Avengers spokesperson, Brig.Gen Mudoch Agbinibo in a
statement on its website, said “We call on President Muhammadu Buhari to put
away the garb of a stooge to the imperialists, whenever he speaks outside
Nigeria. We have listened carefully and halted hostilities in the Niger Delta;
we expect a genuine and positive attitude to restructuring and
self-determination for every component unit of Nigeria.
“Dear president, what makes those countries (Japan, Germany,
France, USA, Britain etc.) great is the ability of their governments to
accommodate internal protestations and conflicts for the greater good of their
nations over the years. Please stop presenting your government as pawn to the
web of military industrialists complex, whenever you leave the shores of
Nigeria.
“Nigeria is not a one-man personal property we must have
these talks every time if this union must continue to work as one. The people
of the Niger Delta have been living here from time immemorial, so we have the
secret of the terrain and survival of amphibious operations. No amount of troop
surge and simulation exercises will make you win the oil war, you can only win
battles.
“You cannot apply the might of the state to restore the
people's confidence in your leadership when you cannot differentiate between
genuine demands and being mismanaged by disorganized characters and tribal lords
around you in your government that are playing the court jesters role as well
as counting the days that is left in your four years term. You can deceive the
whole world but We cannot be deceived by the so glamorized ongoing military
operations in the creeks Of Ijaw communities in the Delta coded "
Operation Crocodile Smiles"... the world should know that with your
pronouncement in Kenya and your attitude to the military build up in the Niger
Delta, it is crystal clear that the military has nothing less than a
pre-determined genocide in Niger Delta and burn more already scared national
resources to the pockets of those that have failed to locate the missing Chiboks
School Girls.
"Conclusively, dear President Muhammadu Buhari please also
tell those foreign nations that you are always at ease talking to, while
refusing to listen to Nigerians that your troops are about to carrying out
extra judicial killings in the Niger Delta in violation of article four of the
Geneva Convention with "OPERATION CROCODILE SMILES.
“All sane minds knows the meaning of " CROCRODILE
TEARS" so by code-naming your military operation CROCODILE SMILES only
betrays your motives and attitude to the whole world about the Niger Delta
question. The whole world will surely applaud you in The Hague when you leave
office. This is not the Nigeria and the world of the 1980s and 1990s under
General Sani Abacha and your watch.”
