The attention of the Movement for the Emancipation of
the Niger Delta (MEND) has been drawn to a statement made in Port
Harcourt on Monday July 25, 2016 by the Chief of Army Staff Lt. General
Tukur Buratai to the effect that the Nigerian military authorities will
resort to the use of force if dialogue to resolve the current Niger
Delta crisis fails.
We therefore warn the Chief of Army Staff to guard his utterances, refrain from making political and inflammatory statements and stick to his primary responsibility.
We use this medium to appeal to the good people of the Niger Delta to remain patient with the Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and keep hope alive as MEND and the Aaron Team 2 Dialogue, Peace and Development Initiative led by Mr. Odein Ajumogobia, and HRH King Alfred Papapreye Diette-Spiff are working assiduously to secure sustainable concessions for the region from the Government.
While MEND have already kick-started the dialogue process with the ongoing preliminary talks, the Aaron Team, made up of distinguished and accomplished personalities from the region, are waiting on the sidelines to conclude the dialogue process.
Long live the Niger Delta...Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
