Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja
Niger Delta agitators on Wednesday faulted the position taken by President Muhammadu Buhari on the calls for restructuring in his national broadcast on Monday.
They threatened that without restructuring as being suggested by prominent Nigerians, the nation will not remain united.
The agitators’ position was contained in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja.
Signatories to the statement included John Duku (Niger Delta Watchdogs); Ekpo Ekpo (Niger Delta Volunteers); Osarolor Nedam (Niger Delta Warriors); Henry Okon Etete (Niger Delta Peoples Fighters); Asukwo Henshaw (Bakassi Freedom Fighters); Ibinabo Horsfall (Niger Delta Movement for Justice); Duke Emmanson (Niger Delta Fighters Network) and Inibeghe Adams (Niger Delta Freedom Mandate).
“We wish to thank all well-meaning Nigerians who threw their weight behind restructuring and disassociated themselves from the President’s position on restructuring.
“We want to remind him (the President) that without restructuring, there would be no united Nigeria,” they said.
They said they were surprised that the President said the unity of Nigeria was not negotiable when indeed he did not believe in other Nigerians apart from those from the North.
