The former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar who alongside seven other Governors formed a new PDP faction
has been ordered by the former leaders of militant groups in the Niger
Delta region to tender an apology letter to President Goodluck Jonathan
for tearing the ruling PDP apart.
Atiku Abubakar has been declared a persona non-grata in the
region by the militants and they warned that they would not watch the
same man who had benefited a lot from the resources of the region, take
others along for his personal interest.
The group, under the backing of Leadership, Peace and
Cultural Development Initiative made these assertions in Yenagoa,
Bayelsa State capital on Saturday during a meeting to review political
developments in the country.
Addressing newsmen in Port Harcourt after the meeting,
president of the group, General Reuben Wilson, said the former Vice
President was now an enemy of the Niger Delta people since he had
decided to lead other members of the PDP to organise what he called a
political coup against Jonathan.
According to Wilson said, “It is unfortunate that Atiku who
has benefitted so much from the Niger Delta oil is leading dissidents in
a political coup against the first South Southerner to ever occupy the
seat of president of Nigeria.
“We are aware of his vast business interests in the Niger
Delta and we are warning him in his own interest to stay off the region.
He cannot be enjoying our oil money and at the same time use the same
money to fight against the owners of the oil”.
