If urgent steps are not by the federal government to meet the demands of oil militants in the Niger Delta region, Nigeria may end up breaking into five separate republics as the former have vowed to resume hostilities in oil-rich Niger Delta.
The oil militants said they want Nigeria to be split into five entities to be collectively known as the United Republics of Nigeria , made up of Niger Delta Republic, Arewa Republic, Biafra Republic, Oduduwa Republic and Middle Belt Republic.
However, Edwin Clark, the Convener of Pan Niger Delta Forum has caution against declaring session of Niger Delta from Nigeria on October 1, 2017.
However, the Reformed Egbesu Assembly (REF), a coalition of Niger Delta militant groups said there is no going back on its resolve to pull out the region from Nigeria and declare the Republic of Niger Delta.
This was made known by the General Officer Commanding, REF, Tony Alagbakereowei, who spoke on behalf of the group said: “We reaffirm our collective resolve to actualise the Republic of the Niger Delta, RONDEL, which had been proclaimed in 1966 taking into cognisance the reality that there is nothing yet binding us as a people rather than the crude oil and gas in the Niger Delta.
“We call on the British Prime Minister, President Donald Trump of the United States and the United Nations, UN, to conduct a referendum for the peaceful dissolution of the Nigerian states into Arewa Islamic Republic, Biafra Republic, Oduduwa Republic, Republic of the Niger Delta,RONDEL, and the Republic of the Middle Belt to be collectively known and addressed as the United Republics of Nigeria based on the principles of non-exodus and non-violence.
“We strongly restate our commitment and dedication to this model as it is the irreducible minimum acceptable political requirement for the ethnic nationalities of the Niger Delta to remain in the Nigerian state. We consider this as the best option to avoid the impending humanitarian crisis of a full-blown Nigeria civil war and armed revolution which will be foisted upon the African Continent and the world at large.”
