Ex-militants vow to renew hostilities in N'Delta over agreement breach

Ex-militants, under the auspices of the 21st Century Youths of the Niger Delta and Agitators with Conscience, on Saturday, vowed to renew hostilities in the region if the Federal Government continued to renege on agreement with their leaders.

The ex-militants noted: “It is rather unfortunate that the goose which lays the golden eggs for all the nation to enjoy is left to wallow in abject poverty and neglect. “Even more worrisome is the vilification of Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, who has contributed immensely towards the realisation of peace in the Niger Delta through his embrace of the amnesty programme.

“The 21st CYNDAC categorically states that all agreements entered into by the government with the host communities should be honoured. “It speaks negatively of the government that when the oil taps and gas flares are on, every agreement is suspended until the taps are off again for another round of negotiation and agreements.

The ex-militahts said they would not accept the alleged serial rape on resources and negligence of the owners and custodians of the same resources.They added: “For one, whose singular intervention has made it possible for criminality to cease in the Warri/Escravous waterways, and who has provided accommodation and facilities for communities and is creating sustainable impactful programmes for youths, should be commended.
