‘Sponsors of pipeline vandals are in the military, National Assembly’

The Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari over his decision to treat pipeline vandals like Boko Haram insurgents.

The IYC president, Comrade Udengs Eradiri, in a statement released on Thursday, said the President shot himself in the foot by making the statement while on a recent business trip to China.

The IYC also urged Buhari to go after the sponsors of pipeline vandals, who are in the military and the National Assembly.

“We condemn the statement by President Buhari. President Buhari went to China for discussions on possible investments and began to say that he will deal with pipeline vandals like Boko Haram. It is wrong.”

“It shows that President Buhari does not have the true picture of the Niger Delta. For him to make such statement, it shows he is not current with investment trends of the world.”

“The statement shows that he will be sending bombs and troops to the Niger Delta like he does against the Boko Haram sect. The investors will become scared because they know that the deployment of bombs and troops will destroy their possible investment in the region.”

“President Buhari naturally shot himself in the foot. How can he go to China to discuss business and investment with proposed payments with resources from the Niger Delta and while threatening the custodians of such means of payment? He also discussed investments without considering citing where in the Niger Delta the wealth would be sourced. It is laughable and wrong. 95 per cent of the wealth needed to service the China-Nigeria agreement is located in the Niger Delta.”

“Buhari’s proposed attack is against those below the ladder. Why don’t they focus on investigating and arresting sponsors located in Abuja and other corridors of power? Those behind the pipeline vandals are in the military and the National Assembly.”
