NIGER DELTA AVENGERS THREAT, A PLOY TO GET MORE PEANUTS FROM FGN-BNL…. Urges the militants to join Biafran struggle
Biafra Nations League, BNL, has alleged that the threat to resume hostilities recently issued by a militant group, the Niger Delta Avengers, was merely a ploy ” to get more peanuts from the Federal Government of Nigeria as settlement”.
The Pro Biafran group rather urged the militants to join the Biafran struggle since “it was far benefitting to fight for freedom and resource control instead of asking for settlements.”
The Niger Delta Avengers wreaked havoc on Nigeria’s economy between 2016 and with devastating effect.
The militant group said it had launched ‘Operation Humble’ aiming at crippling the economy as it did in the past.
However, BNL, in a statement issued by its Head of Operations, Henry Edet, said that most Niger Deltans now see militancy as an opportunity to get favour from the Federal Government.
The BNL said that its members will not abandon Biafra to be asking for peanuts, insisting that the struggle for the State of Biafra cannot be exchanged for anything.
BNL recalled how some Niger Delta elders especially those in Rivers State and Bayelsa State led by Ijaw leader, Edwin Clark hijacked the Niger Delta course to seek oil wells in Abuja, “which after they were promised by the FG, the Avengers surrendered.”
They also urged Niger Delta youths to shun ethnic politics and support the fight for Biafra Republic,noting that resource control under Nigeria will not be possible
