You Can’t Threaten Atiku Or Northern Leaders, N’Delta Youth Leader Tells Militants

Threats by some Niger Delta militants to declare former Vice President Atiku Abubakar a persona non grata in the region following his role in the ongoing crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been dismissed as nonsensical.

Reacting to the position of former warlords under the aegis of Leadership Peace and Cultural Development Initiative, who made the threat at the weekend, Niger Delta youth leader, Comrade Timi Frank, said the position depicted the ignorance of the group and only showed total lack of understanding of the crisis in the PDP.

Comrade Frank said it was wrong for the group to declare Atiku or indeed any northerner and Nigerian involved in the current crisis a persona non grata as the issue at stake was purely a party matter that should be be devoid of tribal, ethnic, religious or regional sentiments.

“It is on record that the Niger Delta region and its youths have benefited immensely from the vast business interests of the former Vice President even as till date it remains to be challenged that Atiku remains the single highest employer of labour in the Niger Delta region and has empowered both investors and politicians from the region like no other Nigerian has, making him the bridge builder between the north and the south- south region.

“The PDP crisis is not a regional crisis but purely a party affair. While it is not out of place for interests in this circumstance to be galvanised, as is being done by the former Niger Delta warlords for President Jonathan, doing so with resort to threats only shows the total purile manner that some persons understand the crisis and are wanting to drag the nation into war for obvious selfish reasons,” the youth leader said.

Frank reminded the group of the enormous role the north played in the enthronement of the Jonathan presidency, noting that a strong tie exists between the north and south-south region that will outlive the Jonathan presidency.

While calling on the security agencies to immediately arrest and prosecute any individual or group(s) that aim to incite the public through inflammatory statements, Comrade Frank also called on security agencies to remain neutral in the ongoing crisis as actions such as the sealing off the New PDP secretariat was unlawful and could lead to the eventual breakdown of law and order.

Meanwhile,the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has faulted the threat by some of Niger Delta ex-militants to declare Atiku a persona non grata in the region and therefore asked the former fighters to withdraw the declaration, an online medium, the Premium Times reports

In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Anthony Sani, and made available yesterday, the ACF described the ex-militants threat as misguided, unacceptable and alien to democratic tenets.

The statement reads in part, “Threats such as the one from the Niger Delta ex-militants are a negation of dialogue and the political process playing itself out on account of the breakup of the PDP into factions.”

Some leaders of former militant groups under the aegis of the Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiative had during a meeting in Yenogoa, Bayelsa state on Saturday, declared Atiku unwanted in the Niger Delta and accused him of using the region’s oil wealth to fight against its interest-which is President Goodluck Jonathan.

Hw did he make his money? Where\whats the source of his wealth?

Yeye propaganda.
What is the staff strength of Intels sef?

Goddex: Yeye propaganda.

how many of your ogogoro drunk masters in the niger delta are employers of labour?

It Atiku's headache not yours. BP.

Nonsense.

Lobatan!

So Atiku has been feeding some 'our oyel' mouths....Imagine??. These guys from the South had better learn to hold their governors accounable and vote only progressive pple

seanet02: how many of your ogogoro drunk masters in the niger delta are employers of labour?

As many and in the same ratio as your randy alomo bitters drinking masters in the South West sir!

Yes...he could be the biggest employer because of the INTELS ports which he hijacked as vice president. INTELS interferes with Port Harcourt/Calabar ports, because if these ports works INTELS/Atiku loses money. If these ports worked, these places would not need Atiku but could generate a hundred times the jobs/revenue intels does. Atiku is only destroying the region.

Cant wait to see how 7.4m registered voters in south east and 8.5m reg voters in south south will return Gej as president. Now that we have voted Jonathan in as president, the next thing is to harass and abuse everybody else that is not ibo or ijaw, time will tell, after all there is no way a child will eat oil without staining his mouth. We are waiting, instead of ur Oga delivering excellent performance he is banking on religious and ethnic sentiments to win again, like he did when he had no shoes.

Question is how Atiku came to own INTELS? He is neither Dangote nor Jimoh Ibrahim, just a retired customs officer. How did he make the money from him pension

And the port his making his money from is in okirika the niger delta ex militants know Why they decleared him as a non grata his investments are in the greek. Why is the thread faceless he should declare his name and the youths he represents.

....ermm...my people say "pikin wey say im mama no go sleep, im too no go see sleep sleep"........Atiku we're watching you live on 14D.

naijaking1:

From what I heard, not much difference between how Jimoh and Atiku made their initial fortunes.

Ironic that the people "fighting for the Niger Delta" (GEJ, Asari, Alams, etc) are being shamed into admitting that a Northerner has done the most for the common man.

If what is happening in pdp is purely political, void of ethnic sentiments, we can as well say, the location of his bisness intrest is purely business, devoid of ethnic sympathy.

Goodmorning Niger delta

Does that change anything about the persona non grata issue?
Any group can issue press statement if handsomely greased ..no biggie

So Atiku is the one feeding this loud mouthed rebels while their governors and politicians loots them dry. SMH

Timi Frank is the new PDP's youth leader! Connect the dots.

A house divided against itself can never and will not stand

Question: Timi Frank and other Atiku supporters: Please how did Atiku make his money?,we all know he was a customs officer,so being a customs office is enough to project him at this level of money?.

Kulas: Question: Timi Frank and other Atiku supporters: Please how did Atiku make his money?,we all know he was a customs officer,so being a customs office is enough to project him at this level of money?.

That's so true just like we all know that Tompolo is an ex militant on 66k monthly amnesty allowee
