Niger Delta Militants Give Fulani 1-month Quit Notice, List Oil Installations.

The Niger Delta militants have warned Fulani herdsmen to steer clear of of the
region.
They also vowed to deal with any Niger Delta governor who allowed cattle
colony.
The Coalition of militants gave the warning yesterday in Port Harcourt Rivers
State while listing a number of oil fields and installations as targets for
resumed attacks if the Federal Government failed to address specific
grievances agitating the region.
The militant groups gave the Fulani herdsmen one month to the vacate the
region or face dire consequences.
Those that signed the resolution included, John Duku (Niger Delta
Watchdogsand Convener, Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators; Ekpo Ekpo (Niger
Delta Volunteers), Osarolor Nedam (Niger Delta Warriors) and Simply Benjamin
(Bakassi Strike Force).
The groups gave the Federal Government a 90-day ultimatum to implement
restructuring and resource control, return oil blocs in the region to the Niger
Delta people and ensure relocation of the oil & gas companies headquarters to
the region.
It said, “Otherwise, there would be no one Nigeria. We shall officially declare
Niger Delta Republic after 90 days, if the Federal Government fails to
implement the above demands.
“We also demand that all the Northerners living in the Niger Delta to quit the
region if the Federal Government fails to implement the above demands within
the stipulated time.
“We also call on our people living in the North to also return to the Niger
Delta for their safety.
“Our principal targets are Usan, Ima, Okoro/Setu and Asabo oil fields, Okwok,
Asuokpu/Umutu fields, OML 112, OML 117, Ebok, Obe oil field, Akpo, OPL 215,
840, OPL 733, 809, 810, 722, 905, 246, 110, 112, 117 etc, other facilities also
marked by our strike team are Total Nigeria Ltd, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Intels
and Adax Petroleum” On the menace of herdsmen, the group said,
“The massive killings all over the country by Fulani herdsmen are fully
sponsored by top government functionaries, especially the security chiefs, who
supply them with weapons with sole aim of achieving cattle colony and
Islamic agenda.
“The idea of having cattle colony was already in the mind of President Buhari
before he contested the 2015 election. The whole world can now see the
reason he appointed all security chiefs from the North, including DG of NIA,
who is supposed to be replaced by someone from the South.
“The Coalition believes that the killings by the Fulani herdsmen are direct
invitation to civil war and we are fully prepared to fight with the last drop of
blood to protect the Niger Delta people and her territorial environment.
“The Coalition also condemns the endorsement of the President as APC
candidate for 2019 election by some self-centered governors and politicians.
Those calling on President Buhari to seek re-election are the real enemies of
Nigeria.
“A government that launched ‘Operation Crocodile Smile I & II’ in the Niger
Delta, despite the peaceful atmosphere, in the region.
“Operation Python Dance I & II” in the South East destroyed people and
properties just to silence IPOB and further declare a non-violent IPOB as
terrorist organization.
“It would suddenly turn deaf ears on terrorist activities of Fulani herdsmen
taking place all over the country on daily basis. We shall no longer tolerate
any further bloodshed within the Niger Delta states by the terrorists Fulani
herdsmen.
“We shall ensure that our people are protected from every Fulani terrorist; it is
very unfortunate that the government that swore to protect the lives and
properties of its citizens has suddenly become sectional government, and lacks
powers to protect the masses.
“And we warn that any Niger Delta governor that accepts cattle colony would
be dealt with as the enemy of the Niger Delta. We don’t want Fulanis among
us, they are our enemies.”
