A Niger Delta group, United Niger Delta Energy Development Security Strategy (UNDEDSS) has issued a statement to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The group, on Thursday, June 30, accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government of “toying with Nigeria’s future.”
This was disclosed by Tony Uranta, the group secretary general in a statement made available to newsmen.
Uranta said: “The Niger Delta has unanimously resolved to resist any further attempts by the federal government to toy with Nigeria’s future by continuing to maliciously deploy the military in the region or attempting to deploy sinister divide and rule tactics against the region’s key actors.
“President Muhammadu Buhari is advised to personally and visibly head a holistic solution-seeking strategy that will prove his commitment to a robustly sustainable peace in the region, for there to be true unity, stability and progress in Nigeria.”
He criticised what he called “the on-going farce by too many of President Buhari’s political friends and ministers, who are wasting time establishing so-called contact committees that will not resolve pertinent issues sustainable.”
Uranta also called on Buhari to “address the nation on an indefinite government ceasefire to be matched by armed actors in the region, government’s commitment to the National Maritime University, Okerenkoko and, the appointment of a savvy Special Adviser (Niger Delta Affairs).”
