The Niger Delta Avengers, have
agreed to dialogue with the Federal
Government. A statement issued
today by its spokesman, Brig. Gen
Mudoch Agbinibo called on its
members to ceasefire pending the
outcome of the dialogue with the
federal government. The statement
reads in full:

”The high command of the Niger
Delta Avengers (NDA) is using this
medium to restate that there are no
new items to put on the table for
dialogue, we only want a genuine
attitude and conducive atmosphere
that will make us commit to any
proposed dialogue and last peace
talk. We want the federal
government to commit members
states of the multi national Oil
Corporations to commit independent
mediators to this proposed dialogue;
we believed that it is only such
environment that will engender
genuine dialogue that will be aimed
at setting up a framework for
achieving the short, medium and
long term demands of the Niger
delta to de-escalating this conflict
and bring about a lasting peace.

”The NDA high command is
restating our commitment to attack
the interest of oil corporation and
international refineries operators
that bring in vessels to the Niger
delta territory to buy our oil that
every successive government have
refused to used and reapply the
proceeds towards any development
in the region since 1958. If they
refuse be heed to our advice will
result to sinking of two their
mother vessel as an examples to
others They should not undertake
any repair of pipeline, oil and gas
facilities that is damaged or
attacked by our forces during this
period of “Operation Red Economy”
until and/or after the dialogue.

”We are using this medium to warn
and condemn the activities of all
brands of social media agitators
being peddled around by some
politicians to promote their criminal
ways in affairs of the Niger Delta.

This genuine spirit behind our
struggle for the Niger Delta cannot
be derailed on the basis of
connivance by politician, traditional
rulers, settled ex- agitators and
criminals moving around to fill their
pockets.

”The issues of the Niger delta are as
old and as new as the days of Pa.
Dappa Biriye, Major Jasper Isaac
Adaka Boro, to Ken Saro Wiwa and
the government of President Musa
Yar’ Adua. We are warning this
government of President
muhammadu Buhari, not to turn
the essence of genuine peace talk
and dialogue to political jamboree
that is prevailing now where all
manner of social media agitators
and criminals have being sponsored
by the job seeking corrupt political
class to safe faces before the
government of the day.

”Finally, if need be, we may review
our earlier stance of not taking
lives. We are going to redirect and
reactivate all our activities if the
government, oil companies and their
services firms don’t heed to these
modest warnings of not carrying
out any repairs works and suspend
the buying of crude oil from our
region as we await the right
atmosphere that will engender
genuine dialogue

“We Want a peace with honour not a
peace of our time.”
