The militants whose attacks have caused a huge dip in
Nigeria’s oil exports, forcing the
economy into a big crisis, said last night that they were done with the
hostilities.
The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) broke the news in a letter
posted on its website by its spokesman, Mudoch Agbinibo, and addressed to
President Muhammadu Buhari. It also spoke of the need for regular dialogue to
take place for the Nigerian union to survive.
Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina welcomed the cessation
of hostilities by the Avengers as “a
good development which is in the interest of the country and especially the
Niger Delta people.” He said “anything that portends peace
is always good,” adding that
“we hope that it cuts across
board and it is sincere.”
“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, they said in the statement.
