• Orders Niger Delta youths to occupy Abuja
From Femi Folaranmi, Yenagoa
Niger Delta ex-agitator and founder of the ‘Niger Delta Amagbein Movement’, General Amagbein Boro, known as the contemporary Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro, has warned against the plot to thwart the inauguration ceremony of President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, tomorrow in Abuja.
Boro who has been in the forefront in fight against oil theft in the Niger Delta region declared that Niger Delta youths would ensure that subversive elements issuing treasonable statements capable of plunging the country into chaos and civil war are curtailed.
Amagbein expressed displeasure at the effrontery mustered by a selected aggrieved few actors playing the script of an alleged syndicate ‘coupists’ to thwart the presidential inauguration as reported by the Department of State Security (DSS) and hijack power for their selfish aggrandizement.
He noted that his group would not allow unscrupulous elements to undermine the security architecture of the country, adding that such attempts would be met with greater firepower and resistance from the creeks of the Niger Delta.
“It is unfortunate that aggrieved few enemies of state would muster effrontery to challenge our collective resolve. They shall be greeted with our greater will, tension is already brewing, I am calling on all patriots of the Niger Delta to occupy the streets of Abuja, chanting songs of victory, stand gallantly strong and defend the mandate of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu against any perceived enemy of democracy.
“I encourage youths that as they occupy Abuja, they must not deter in their resolve to support security agencies in protecting Tinubu’s mandate and supporting the military to defend the sovereignty of the country under the watch of the present administration.
“I want to further add that the emergence of Asiwaju as president-elect is the collective resolve of the Niger Delta to further the course for restructuring and resource control, I am, therefore, optimistic that the Tinubu’s administration would look into the issues of the modular refinery and creation of opportunities for the region, a long awaited dream, that I have been fighting for,” he said.
