The United Niger Delta Energy Development Security Strategy (UNDEDSS) on Monday said President Muhammadu Buhari’s national broadcast shows he is disconnected from true state of Nigeria.
In a statement signed by its Executive Secretary, Mr. Tony Uranta in Lagos, UNDEDSS said Buhari’s comment that Nigeria was non-negotiable made the group wonder if his return would add any value to Nigeria.
“His speech was devoid of empathy with the sad state in which Nigerians have been battered through hunger, terror attacks and a bombardment by mendacious propaganda”, the group said.
“Whilst one is sincerely happy that Mr. President is back to Nigeria after that lengthy sojourn in London, one is tempted to believe that he may not be fully aware of the realities of the country he left behind for over three months!
“It pains one to see that Buhari is determined to stand on the wrong side of history as regards the inevitability of Nigeria being restructured before 2019.
“It is evident from his broadcast that the single most important issue President Muhammadu Buhari recognises is the issue of our unity being “non-negotiable”, which is laughable because this country’s unity must be debated and a consensus reached by the leaders of the various political, economic, religious and cultural persuasions.
“A country where inequity and injustice walk the land freely is an unstable country and cannot stand the test of ethnic tensions.
“Well, we have news for him. If Nigeria is not debated and/or restructured, the Niger Delta region, for one, will definitely oppose elections being held in 2019. A word is suffice for the wise”.
