A coalition of top Niger Delta agitators have threatened to unveil a government that would oversee the affairs of the region, and equally declared their readiness to work with the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB over the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari. They said that Buhari’s suspension and replacement of Onnoghen by a Northerner was part of his ethnic agenda, which is unhealthy to the country’s unity.

The
agitators, who issued the threat yesterday in a communiqué after a
meeting that started in Southern Ijaw, Bayelsa on Saturday, noted that
since Buhari remains focused on his alleged ethnic agenda, they
(agitators) would unveil a government that would oversee the affairs of
the Niger Delta region. The communiqué, among others was signed by
General John Duku (Niger Delta Watchdogs), and Convener: Coalition of
Niger Delta Agitators; General Ekpo Ekpo (Niger Delta Volunteers);
General Simply Benjamin (Bakassi Strike Force); General Osarolor Nedam
(Niger Delta Warriors) and Major-Gen. Henry Okon Etete (Niger Delta
Peoples Fighters).

The agitators described the suspension of
Onnighen as a “blatant exhibition of rascality and the highest form of
dictatorship, tyranny and fascism in the 21st Century, which we view as
the highest level of insult on the collective intelligence of the Niger
Delta people.” They added:”The removal is a coup against the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a coup against the Rule
of Law and separation of powers and a coup against the Nigerian
Democracy.

“It is a face-off with the Niger Delta people, and we
call on the International Community to note this so that when we would
retaliate nobody would blame us. This is clearly aimed at preventing
Justice Onnoghen from selecting/inaugurating credible judges that would
handle election petitions in their respective Tribunals.
