You can’t fight FG – NDLF rells Tompolo, Avengers

Government Tompolo

Spokesman for the defunct Niger Delta Liberation Front (NDLF), Capt. Mark Anthony, has urged members of the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, and High Chief, Government Ekpemukpolor, to lay down arms to save innocent people of the region, especially Gbaramatu kingdom, from untold hardship and toe the path of peace and dialogue.
In a statement in Warri, Delta State, the NDLF spokesman said: “We are appealing to the NDA to surrender and accept the path of dialogue” saying no group or individual can fight the federal government.
Continuing, the NDLF said: “We also appeal to Tompolo to surrender himself to the authorities on the path of peace to reign in Gbaramatu communities and parts of Niger Delta.”
He noted that the NDLF had staged war with the federal government and up till date it was still nursing the wounds.
It further appealed to the federal government to employ internationally accepted military practices in the Niger Delta, saying that it could recall during the unfortunate experience in which the federal government bombed and burnt down Ayakoromo town and killed several innocent persons.
According to the NDLF, similar genocide is about to take place now if caution is thrown to the wind by both parties and repeated their position that the Avengers and pipeline bombers are criminals fighting a selfish course over failed business empire with the present administration under President Buhari.
NDLF maintained that they were in support of the Buhari administration just as they supported former president, Goodluck Jonathan.
