The Niger Delta Revolutionary Crusaders (NDRC) has announced that it will commence fresh attacks on oil facilities on September 31. The NDRC is one of the militant groups that asked the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), led by Chief Edwin Clark, to stop all engagements with the Federal Government,

In a statement by its spokesperson, Izon Ebi, the group said that its grievance with the government is that after the consolatory statement of the government by Prof. Osinbajo, nothing is on ground to show sincerity by government.

It said that its grievance is borne out of the insincerity of Nigeria’s past and current leaders who after using the wealth and resources of their people to build both Lagos and Abuja and even stealing for themselves and their unborn children, decided to bequeath a degraded environment to them and their children.

It noted that the agitators had resolved and were more determined to use all necessary means to take back their heritage by stopping all oil and gas exploration and exportation in Niger Delta come September 31, 2017. It said that when that time comes, heaven will not fall.

“We have resolved that resource control, fiscal federalism, and devolution of powers are the only panacea. Anything short of that will not be acceptable to NDRC and the 21st-century agitators of the Niger Delta.”

“Our elders and distinguished personalities of PANDEF have tried in their advocacy. We realize that the balancing act of being elder statesmen and resource control advocates can be a very touchy act. That is why our goal is in consonance with the vision of Niger Delta’s emerging youth leaders in the clamor for resource control,” it said.

The group added that the Nigerian nation should be grateful to PANDEF and most especially the acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, who was so sincere in trying to do things in line with the best global practices of this 21st century.
