Stop your pretentious plea, start dialogue- Militants warn Buhari

NIGER-DELTA Sea Commandos, NDSC, a militant group, in the Niger Delta, yesterday, adviced that President Buhari should commence dialogue with stakeholders to avert looming disaster. The Spokesperson of the group, Major Osama Blatter, in a statement, said: “As members of Sea Commandos, we cannot take Buhari’s plea serious and we are running out of patience. The issue is when he will start his dialogue.”

This came as Niger Delta activist, Chief  Bello Oboko, threw his words behind the call on President Buhari to emulate the Prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron, by ordering a referendum to find out what Nigerians want. The Sea Commandos asked: “When will Nigeria grant Niger Delta autonomous state? Buhari should not play politics with Niger Delta’s demands. If he plays with us, we will ground his government. Delay is dangerous. We are not interested in any plea,  he warned. 

He went further to say, "who told Buhari that Nigerians do not have other country than Nigeria? Niger Deltas are not part of Nigeria he is referring to because we belong to Niger Delta Republic. “Buhari should lead the negotiation team, we want him in the creeks, Buhari should not expect our oil to stabilize Nigerians economy, that is a thing of the past. Since he came back, we have not heard anything from him about the expired two-week ceasefire, he has not announced any extension, which is why we say that he is pretending.  We are warning that we can no longer wait, we will commence attack any moment from now,” he added.
