Niger Delta Defence group has listed fresh demands to the government of President Muhammadu Buhari. In a statement made available to NAIJ.com the group said the government should as a matter of urgency visit the demands or face massive action which shall cripple the economy and bring it to a standstill.
1. All refineries and petrochemical companies must shut down their activities and leave the region immediately until the Federal government is ready to turn around the fortunes of our people.
2. The UNEP report implementation on Ogoniland must commence immediately.
3. No attempt must be made to resume oil exploration in Ogoniland until the UNEP report has been 100% implemented.
4. The Federal government must immortalize Ken Saro Wiwa and other Niger Delta agitators who were gruesomely killed.
5. The Niger Delta region must be allowed to control their resources.
It further accused the incumbent administration of turning the fight against corruption into the fight against their perceived political opponents from the Niger Delta region.
The statement further reads: “The Ogoni cleanup which is still a scam by the Federal government is now been used by some selfish and political gladiators to gain popularity and score cheap political points. Even the five hundred thousand (500,000) empowerment program has now been programmed to favour only a particular political party.
Today, instead of the Nigerian government to develop the region, they are now using most of our people to destabilize and set confusion in order to divide us to achieve their selfish aim.”
