Niger Delta Avengers agree to dialogue with FG, list terms.

 The militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, have released a statement indicating theirwillingness to negotiate with the Federal government.
 In the statement released on its
website today and signed by its spokesperson, Muduch Agbinibo, reads;
"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 lasting peace talk.
“We want the federal government to commit members states of the multinational oil corporations to commit independent mediators to this proposed dialogue; we
believe 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-escalate this conflict and bring
about 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 has refused to use and reapply the proceeds towards any development in the region since 1958. “Refusal to heed our advice will result to sinking of two their mother
vessel as an example to others. They should not undertake any repair of pipeline,  oil and gas facilities that are 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
politicians, 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, 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 are being sponsored by the job-seeking corrupt political
class to save face 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 service firms don’t heed to these modest warnings of not
carrying out any repair works, and suspend the buying of crude oil from our
region as we await the right atmosphere that will engender genuine dialogue. We want peace with honour, not peace of our time.”
