South-East militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, has adopted the presidential candidate the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar for Saturday’s poll.
The militants dare President Buhari to rig the elections, noting that it would once again cripple the country’s economy.
NDA Spokesperson, Mudoch Agbinibo, said in a statement that, “As a warning and closing note; we want to resound it to members of the International Community, multinational corporations and subsidiaries’ operatives to withdraw their workforce and services from Niger Delta within the period of this elections.”

The group said, “We are in charge of the struggle now and our strike teams are active and gallantly waiting to receive instructions from the high command to cripple the Nigerian Economy again if Buhari is rigged back to office.”
“And this time, it will be a perpetual recession for Nigeria, as we shall not relent until oil stops to flow in the pipes that braces our feet in our land,” it said.
The militants noted that the warning to the multinational corporations was for them “not to be casualties to the ongoing securitization and provocation in the Niger Delta by the Nigerian military command.”
