Buhari tells Militants: In God’s Name Stop Pipeline Bombings

Disturbed by the activities of the Niger Delta Militants, President Muhammadu Buhari last night urged them in very strong terms, in God’s name, to have a change of heart over their destructive actions.

Mr. President who stated that there were many factions of the Niger Delta Militants also said that the groups were armed with sophisticated weapons and that the economy is badly affected by their acts.

The president spoke at the breaking-of-fast dinner with leaders and chieftains of the APC in Aso Rock.






He said: “I honestly don’t know how many factions of the militants there are in the Niger Delta compared to the north east where you have only the Boko Haram “The technology being deployed by the militants to destroy oil installations is high tech, the way they can go on high sea and international waters and target oil installations is a national problem. It is affecting development.

“No insurance company will want to insure installations that will end up being blown up and no banks will want to finance such installations.

“Those of you who have friends among the leadership or even the militants themselves should plead with them in the name of God Almighty to take it easy.

“We need to stablise to create employment, we need to stabilise the economy, I agonise over these things. We are in a very difficult time, so we have to organise ourselves. Anybody that says he has any other country than Nigeria should go out and see.”
