The kinsmen of former President Goodluck Jonathan have debunked recent claims linking the ex-president to the Niger Delta Avengers.
The kinsmen, under the aegis of Ogbia Brotherhood, said this at a press conference on Monday evening in Yenagoa.
They condemned in strong terms what they described as “the dangerous, spurious and wild allegation against their illustrious son (Jonathan)”, by a faceless group of mischief makers.
The National Chairman, OB, Chief Benson Agadaga, called on the Federal government to unmask the militants.
He said, “It is unthinkable that the former President, by an iota of imagination, could be linked with sponsoring or even establishing an armed outfit like the Niger Delta Avengers to antagonise the Federal Government where he has just served as President by the goodwill of all Nigerians.
“May I add with unequivocal terms that the allegation lacks substance and does not bear true reflection or semblance to the nature, original beliefs and intent of the prominent son of Ogbia who holds the revered title as Grand Commander of the Federal Republic of Nigerian.”
