Niger Delta Avengers list 11 conditions for peace

The new face of militancy in the oil reach Niger Delta region of Nigeria, the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, have made 11 demands from the Federal Government in order to stop the renewed spate of bombing of oil installations in the region.

The group, while outlining its demand said: “We have chosen to start this revolution to free the country from these vampires called APC government. We are hereby giving president Buhari two weeks ultimatum to do the following things urgently”.

Below are the demands:
1. Immediate implementation of the report of the 2014 National Conference. Otherwise, this country will break-up forcefully.

2. President Buhari, the DS SSS and Timipre Sylva should apologize to the people of the Niger Delta region and family of Late Chief DSP Alamieyesegha for killing him with intimidation and harassment because of his party affiliation.

3, The ownership of oil blocks must reflect 60% for the oil producing people and 40% for the non-oil producing people.

4. The only Nigerian Maritime University sited in the most appropriate and befitting place Okerenkoko must start the 2015/2016 academic session immediately.

5. The minister of transportation, Mr Rotimi Amechi should apologize to the Ijaws and the entire Niger Delta people for his careless and reckless statement about the siting of the University.

6. The Ogoniland and indeed all oil polluted lands in the Niger Delta must be cleaned up and compensation be paid to all oil producing communities.

7. Mr Nnamdi Kanu, the Leader of IPOB must be released unconditionally as the court said.

8. The Niger Delta Amnesty programme must be well funded and let it continue to run effectively.

9. All APC members that are indicted in any corruption related cases should be made to face trial like the PDP members. Otherwise Buhari should shamefully forget about this nonsense anti-corruption fight.

10. All oil multi-nationals and foreign investors should observe this ultimatum, as their business interest in the country must be first target.
