This report on Saharareporters:Goodluck Jonathan and Partners Behind Niger Delta Avengers contains some personalities that the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA), a splinter group from the infamous Niger Delta Avengers ( NDA), has revealed as sponsors of the primitive destruction of oil infrastructure and environmental pollution in the Niger Delta by the Niger Delta Avengers ( NDA). If there is a just government in Nigeria, if the avowed fight against corruption by President Buhari is genuine, and if there is no anarchy in Nigeria, then Nigerians must see intelligent use of this information by Nigeria's security agencies for Nigeria's peace and development. Our economy is being shut down by such economic saboteurs, who have not either by their past or present actions improved the livelihood of Niger Deltans. For instance, we are only being told how in eight years of its existence, the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs has "completed only one project."
Under President Buhari, hunger, anger and danger are on the increase (apologies to Father Mbaka). Naira has crashed and thus real incomes of Nigerians have crashed. Public electricity supply has become a joke even as Nigerians are still being forced to pay outrageous bills for more darkness, and yet Buhari's government justifies this corrupt conduct of DISCOS in spite of appeals by people like us for his intervention. Inflation has hit the roof, and Buhari's government has openly confessed that Nigeria is now stuck in a recession. Now, if Buhari and his friends blame all these on Jonathan, and the RNDA has come out to give the names of Jonathan and company as sponsors of an egregious economic sabotage, then Buhari should either go after them or quit the blame game. Nigerians want a government that will act responsibly and courageously to protect them, and not one that talks tough but acts sparingly and discriminatively in latent fear. It is one thing, for instance, to say, "My government cannot tolerate the violence by cattle herders," and yet the herders are killing in Benue State, amassing weapons to destroy Nigerian lives, and all threats to punish never scare the blood spillers, and quite another to act quietly while the people taste the good fruits openly. I hope Buhari has not lost control of Nigeria even as some of his friends are now losing confidence in his abilities and sense of justice and feeling of empathy for poor Nigerians. Can PMB act now in our public interest or will he protect a few criminals for special group interest? The story script is gradually becoming manifest. But let me give PMB one more chance to redeem himself. Thereafter, if he fails, then…..
