…FG Not Serious About Any Dialogue

The United Kingdom has warned their citizens against militant activities in the Niger Delta. The warning was contained in the latest travel advise sent to their citizen obtained by this publication. “Safety and security section – militant groups are active across the Niger Delta area and have carried out a number of attacks on oil and gas infrastructure in 2016” the travel advise read, It added that there are  high risk of armed robbery, criminality and criminal kidnap in the Niger Delta area.

Meanwhile one of the militant group who has claim responsibility for blowing up of several oil wells and pipelines in the oil reach region  the Niger Delta Avengers said the Federal Government is not serious about any dialogue.

The militant group stated this through a statement signed by their spokesperson Brig. Gen Mudoch Agbinibo. According to them, the peace talk initiated by Federal Government is  a delay tactic employed to enable the drones purchased from the United State  arrive latest end of August.

“The NDA intelligence agency gathered that the said peace talk or dialogue by the federal government is  a delay tactic employed by the federal government, to enable their purchased drones that are said to arrive latest end of August from the United State.
This whole thing makes us to wonder what kind of country is this? We can all see that President Buhari led government is fraud. They are not serious about any dialogue and made it seems the Niger Delta Avengers are the ones not ready for dialogue” Agbinibo said.

The group further stated that purchase all the drones in Europe and Untied State can not stop them from bringing the country’s economy to zero. “Mr. President you can purchase all the drones in Europe and Untied State. It won’t stop the Niger Delta Avengers from bringing the country’s economy to zero. The worse you can do is to kill poor innocent people which the military is good at but know the Nigeria Economy will suffer” Agbinibo added.

They encourage the Federal Government to intensify the oil exploration in the North East as they would put a stop to oil exportation from the Niger Delta region. “Just intensify the oil exploration in the North East as for the ones in the Niger Delta forget about it because the Nigeria government won’t export a drop from our land” Agbinibo said.
