THE New Delta Avengers have renewed its threat not to disarm or order its men to leave the trenches where its men have been positioned to strike and attack Nigeria's Oil installations until its demands are met.
This threat was contained in an open letter to Chief Edwin Clark who allegedly offered to mediate in its face-off with the Delta State Government under Governor Okowa.
Recall, the NDA, comprising ex-militants from Delta State had this month regrouped and announced plan to fight alleged underdevelopment of oil communities and withholding of funds due the state Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, by Okowa administration.
Read the letter below signed by High Commanders Brandy Ederikumor and Ujato Etomi as well as three others to Chief Clark:
“We are aware of the efforts you are making and for this we are grateful and hopeful that we won’t have to go back to the days of rage.
“In deference to your authority, the highest command of the NDA has decided to shelve our planned attack on major oil facilities in the region from June 30, 2017.
“But we will not demobilise our armaments, hardware and men from locations where they have been camping since they were dispatched three weeks ago until we are sure of positive result from your intervention.”
“We demand that the government must begin projects that reflect the statuses of oil-bearing communities as ‘the geese that lay the golden egg in the state’.
“We demand similar commitment to payments of contractors handling jobs in Okowa’s areas and those in our land.
“Okowa must release over N40 billion funds due to the commission since 2015 when he was sworn-in. The laws setting up DESOPADEC is clear on funding; let the Governor give to the oil bearing Communities what is their dues.”
