An indifferent Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) yesterday shunned Friday’s appeal by President Muhammadu Buhari to Niger Delta militants, in God’s name, to cease the bombing of oil and gas installations in the region. Instead the militant group asked the president to call for a referendum for Nigerians to decide if they want to stay as one country or not, just as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (UK), David Cameron, did over the UK membership of the European Union EU.
The militant group, in separate responses to inquiries yesterday by Vangaurd newspapers said: “He (Buhari) should call for a referendum to enable every Nigerian to vote if they want to stay as Nigerians or not just like what David Cameron of Great Britain did.”
The Avengers,which yearns for a Sovereign State of Niger Delta, had vowed over a month and a half ago to display own currency, flag, passport, ruling council and territory to the world by October 16.
