The Coalition of Ex-agitators of Niger Delta says it is preparing for a showdown with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited for allegedly excluding Niger Deltans from the recent award of pipeline maintenance contracts.

The ex-militant leaders said it was insensitive and provocative for the NNPCL to award pipeline maintenance contracts to only northern companies.

The coalition stated this in a statement on Sunday signed by its Coordinator, Gershom Gbobo; spokesperson, Chief David Tonye Banigo; National Secretary, Johnson Akpobari, and National Director, Mobilisation, Goodluck Warikere.

“We will never allow such cheating, marginalisation, injustice and insensitivity to occur in this new istration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose mantra remains justice, equity and fairness.

“The NNPCL should know that its actions and conducts would determine the level of peace in the oil-bearing communities of the Niger Delta. We will not allow this provocative action of awarding pipeline maintenance contracts only to companies owned by northern cabals.

“What happens to all the Niger Delta indigenous companies? No northern company would be allowed to carry out routine maintenance on pipelines located in our territory,” the coalition said in the statement.

It said it was important for the NNPCL to engage Niger Delta firms “to create jobs for the youths and keep all stakeholders busy.”

“We warn that there will be unrest and crisis if NNPCL fails to review this gross injustice. We are sure that international communities will understand that we are fighting for our rights.

“We must be involved in this. This is one contract that can be used to discourage pipeline vandalism in the Niger Delta. Why will they give such contracts to people who are not from the region?

“Have they awarded any contract in the North to those of us from the Niger Delta? Is it feasible for us to go to the North and agitate for contracts? We call on Mr President, the National Security Adviser, Secretary to the Federation and the Chief of Staff to intervene in this and stop this disrespect to our region.

“We are not saying that they should not award contracts to some of those northern companies. What we are saying is that they should award contracts to them in their domains and award contracts to us in our own domains.

“You cannot be taking everything from our environment through pipelines and still deny us the opportunity to maintain those pipelines,” the ex-agitators said.

Foolish fools, the so called 17 point agenda that Osinbajo, on behalf of Buhari negotiatiated with the Avengers was never mentioned again, and you people are back making empty threats

This was what Igbos tried for years to enlighten people in the Niger Delta about benefiting from their God given resources, but Lagos Ibadan media rather turned it around and spread the propaganda that Igbos were after the resources which Igbo land is also richly blessed with.
Even under a Yoruba led govt, we can see that the injustices against the Niger Delta continues because these contracts would not have been awarded without presidential approval as Tinubu is the Minister of Petroleum.
Over 35 people were burnt to death in a makeshift refinery in Rivers State and another hundred burnt beyond recognition after a petrol tanker fell due to bad roads.
Then some few northern business men will sign multi billion contracts to maintain pipelines some of which doesn't even generate revenue while the Airforce will be dropping bombs on people working on makeshift refineries and adding to the environmental pollution in the process.

After siphoning Billions of dollars from Petroleum subsidy for years another avenue has been created for the Northern elites to keep siphoning the Niger Delta resources while illegal mining continues unabated in many Northern states to a point that Emefiele a son of Niger Delta was forced to buy Zamfara gold on behalf of Federal Government as CBN governor

Many of us in the Niger Delta know that the igbos are our best allies.
That's why the skull mining west is trying to separate us.

"before Ojuku declared the
republic of biafra in may 1967
Isaac Adaka Boro an Ijaw man had declared the
Niger delta republic in february 1966.
Boro had formed the niger delta
volunteer force an armed militia with
consisting mainly of his fellow
ethnic group declared the niger delta
republic on february 23 1966 and fought
nigeria's federal forces for 12 days but
they were eventually defeated and then
jailed by the Ironsi federal
military government [and Ojuku eastern governor] for treason"

But it was Gowon from Kanke Local Government Area in Plateau State that later set Boro free and Boro later became a major in the Nigeria army and helped to tame the Biafra army.

The people you should blame are the useless Niger-Deltan elite wearing top hats and crying for handouts.

They should go and talk to Asari to talk to His Oga BAT.

And if BAT doesn’t like it, he should tell His boy Asari as well as Asari’s boys to go and finish off those militants.

They should hold asari responsible. The dude might have collected all the contracts and settlement on their behalf
