The Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate (NDGJM) has dared President Muhammadu Buhari to carry out his threat to fully engaged militants in the Niger Delta region, warning that the consequences of his actions will be devastating to the country.
The militant group dared President Buhari in a statement by it’s spokesperson, Ado Agbalaja made available to journalists yesterday in Warri, Delta State.
The group who described the meeting between the Pan Niger Delta Stakeholder Forum and President Buhari as “humiliation” questioned the characters and intent of the Niger Delta leaders who met with the president at the meeting.
They alleged that President Buhari has severally threatened war on their people, which they had been calm enough not to respond to, but warned that it was time for them to come out and to say to him that “enough is enough.”
The statement reads in part , “The humiliation that came with the meeting of the PANDEF with the Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari, did not come to the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate as a surprise, we expected it because we know even the government knows the character and intent of the man and most of those he led to the meeting.
“We warned and the government/the world gave heed. The only painful part is the fact that the humiliation is stamped on the collective image of our people.
“However, we want to dare President Buhari and his administration to attempt or fully carry out his military action against our people and see the response that will follow.
“We want to say here, without mincing words, that we are aware of his intentions, we heard loud and clear his hostile message, we understand his message even beyond his uttered words and the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate is saying we are ready for his worst.
“If it is war, bring it on, we are no cowards, just be sure you can sustain the consequences because this is not going to be another vanquished ‘BIAFRAN UPRISING’, Niger Deltans are nobody’s slave, we shall fight until there’s nothing left to defend.
“As a matter of fact, what the Avengers did to the oil industry will be nothing to compare with the grand-plan already set by our Central Command: we shall bring the Nigerian daily output quota to below 500,000. Just be ready for the approaching Tsunami.
“The destruction of the Trans-Forcados Pipeline (TFP) is just a warning to a deaf/rogue entity. We warned against the restarting of the facility, but the daring companies won’t listen. That shadow operation that brought the TFP was only meant to let these companies know that we aren’t kidding with them; when we say stay down, you stay down, it’s in your own best interest.
