We’ll declare Niger Delta Republic Oct 1 – Avengers

The Niger Delta Avengers on Thursday threatened that it will declare a Niger Delta Republic on October 1 should President Muhammadu Buhari fail to restructure the country.

It also said the group is praying for the Buhari-led federal government to discover oil in commercial quantity in the northern part of the country.

NDA had claimed responsibility for major attacks on oil facilities in the region in recent past vowing not to relent until the nation’s economy was completely crippled.
The group’s spokesman, Mudoch Agbinibo, stated this on Thursday in reaction to President Buhari’s order directing the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to increase tempo on oil exploration in the North-East.
It said that the discovery of oil in commercial quantity would make Nigerians appreciate what the people of the Niger Delta experienced in the hands of the Nigerian government.http://punchng.com/avengers-buhari-well-declare-niger-delta-republic-october-1/
