The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) has denied report it nominated Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, former Abia State governor, Mr. Orji Kalu and five others to negotiate on its behalf with the federal government.
NDA’s Spokesman Mudoch Agbinibo in a statement late yesterday described report as the work of mischief makers, keen in derailing the group’s struggle.
The Avengers said the claim “by enemies of the Niger Delta” might be because of Soyinka’s “belief that the government of the day should understand the need to restructure and listen to the Niger Delta agitation positively”.
“That we, the NDA, have named Prof. Wole Soyinka and some incredible names to advise and lead any group is the Lie of The Century,” it said.
NDA, nevertheless, said it supported the Chief Edwin Clark-led Niger Delta Elders and Stakeholders Conference committee to lead a Pan-Niger Delta Negotiations/Dialogue Team whenever the Federal Government is ready.
