The ruling party, All Progressive Congress (APC) has accused the opposition party, People’s Democratic Party (PDP), of sponsoring the new militant group the Niger Delta Avengers.
The Party stated this in a meeting of the South South zone of the APC held in Benin City, Edo state, on Friday, June 3.
In a communiqué was signed by Hilliard Eta, the APC national vice-chairman South South, and Steven Ezekwem, the zonal secretary, the party condemned the renewed attacks in the Niger Delta region and said that the main goal of the Avengers was to frustrate and derail the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The zone is cocksure that the nefarious and ruinous activities of the ‘Avengers’ are not driven by any patriotic and altruistic impulse.
“We have compelling reasons to strongly assert that these activities are sponsored and instigated by the opposition PDP to derail and frustrate the APC government of President Muhammadu Buhari because of its determination to fight against corruption, stabilise and put our country on the path of sustainable development,” the communique read.
The party also praised President Buhari and the federal government for the courage to commence the clean-up of Ogoniland.
A sinking party that can never be redeemed as you claimed previously doing all these ?
