THE National Coalition of Niger
Delta Ex-Agitators, NCNDE-A, has
accused former President Goodluck
Jonathan of founding the new
militant group known as Niger
Delta Avengers.

The NCNDE-A claimed that the
group was formed in January last
year ahead of the March 2015
presidential election, which
Jonathan eventually lost to
Muhammadu Buhari of the APC.

The National President of NCNDE-A,
Israel Akpodoro, who made this
shocking revelation in Abuja on
Friday, urged the former President
to call members of the self
acclaimed Niger Delta Avengers,
NDA, to order.

According to him, “the Niger Delta
Avengers is a creation of the ex-
president aimed at thwarting any
efforts made by successive
administration especially that of
the President Muhammadu Buhari-
led All Progressives Congress, APC,
administration.”

He further revealed that the threat
was planed at a well-attended
meeting called at the instance of a
governor from the South South
region in January last year with all
the prominent ex-militants
including Jonathan and some of his
close pals in attendance.

Akpodoro claimed that the message
from them as delivered by the a
Special Adviser to the President
then was that all ex-militants from
the region should return to the
creek preparatory for action should
Gen. Buhari win the then coming
election saying; that includes “what
we are witnessing today in the
actions of the Niger Delta
Avengers.”

He warned his kinsmen against
risking their lives for the political
interest of one man.

He said, “I was bundled out of the
meeting but then that is realities of
what Nigerians are witnessing
today.

“The former President created the
monster-Niger Delta Avengers,
NDA, and he alone can call them to
order and that is what my group is
asking him to do.

“Nigerians should hold the Ijaw
leader responsible for any possible
collateral damage that may be
incurred in the process of
exterminating that destructive rag
tag group with all its sympathisers
in the region.

“Our common enemies in the Niger
Delta region are those governors,
ministers, Special Advisers,
Director Generals, Senators and
other representatives from the
region who participated in
government and use their offices to
enrich themselves at the detriment
of general good.

“We must redirect our anger to
those who cornered the dividends
of democracy in the region buying
fleet of aeroplanes, building
mansions in choices cities of the
world…while their people live in
abject poverty.

“President Buhari isn’t our problem
but our leaders from the region.
“President Buhari should not relent
in his military actions against those
he described as enemies of peace in
the region,” he added.
