Irked by the renewed bombing of oil and gas installations in the Niger Delta by the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, President Muhammadu Buhari has warned militant groups in the region to accept the reality that Nigeria’s unity is not negotiable.
President Buhari declared, “Please, pass the message to the militants that one Nigeria is not negotiable. And I pray they better accept it. The constitution is very clear. I assure them (referring to Niger Delta militants) there would be justice. And please persuade those who have plenty of money that does not belong to them to try and negotiate, return it in peace so that both them and us (sic) will be in peace otherwise, we will continue to request”.
The President gave the warning while receiving a cross section of Nigerians, most of whom were Muslims who were in his residence within the precinct of the Presidential Villa to pay him Sallah homage on Wednesday, July 6.
He said, “We have to concentrate on the militants to try to know how many of them in terms of groupings, try to get in touch with their leadership, to try to persuade them to please give Nigeria a chance. I assure them that when we were very junior officers, we were told by our leaders, by the Head of State which was Gen. Gowon that to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done, we never thought of oil. What we were after is one Nigeria”.
