A
reliable sources and Nigeria's seat of power have it that plans have been
concluded by the Federal Government to declare a full-blown war on the Niger
Delta as the Biafra freedom fighters particularly the Niger Delta Avengers have
stated their conditions for a ceasefire which the government says is impossible
to meet, a presidency insider revealed to DailyGlobeWatch on condition of
anonymity.
The
Biafra freedom fighters under the aegis of Niger Delta Avengers have
insisted on seceding from Nigeria because of what it described as a grave
injustice committed by the Nigerian Government against the people of the region
since oil exploration and extraction activities began in the region decades
ago.
They
have complained that while the proceeds emanating from the wealth beneath their
land is siphoned daily to create wealth and affluence for people in other
parts of Nigeria the people of the region live in abject poverty resulting from
neglect and huge damage to the region's eco-system.
Among
the conditions reportedly given for a cease-fire is the immediate release from
detention of the ex-National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.) ,
Nnamdi Kanu, the Director of Radio Biafra and leader of the Indigenous People
of Biafra, (IPOB).
The
Federal Government in an emergency meeting held in the State House, Abuja as
the 2-week ceasefire draws near, after sitting to review the conditions
cast their conditions overboard and resolved to declare a full-blown war on the
region and consequently crush any dissenting voice with utmost brutality no
matter how highly-placed.
Governors
and serving ministers from the region, our source revealed, have been kept in
the dark of this decision to declare a full-scale war. The Nigerian Army will
soon be given marching orders to commence hostilities against the Biafra
freedom fighters in the region as the Federal Government is not ready to cede
any part of Nigeria to any group under whatever guise.
This
decision to go to war was reached after a series of clandestine meetings by
Arewa Consultative Forum, (ACF) and other eminent northern Nigerians which it
relayed to the Federal Government.
A
reconnaissance mission, according to our source, is to begin in the next few
days after the meeting president will have with Obama During United Nation (UN)
that will held in New york next week.
The
Nigerian Army, our source further revealed, is only waiting for the
two-week ceasefire declared by the Federal Government to expire before full
hostilities is declared to crush the Biafra freedom fighters.
But
the Biafra freedom fighters are calling the Federal Government a bluff as they
have earlier called the world powers' attention to the problem in the
region.
