The report that Prof. Wole Soyinka; a former Abia State Governor, Orji Kalu; and five others will negotiate with the Federal Government on behalf of the Niger Delta Avengers has been refuted by the group.
This was contained in a statement by the spokesman of the group, Mudoch Agbiniogbo, who explained that the claim has the finger prints of mischief makers who wanted to distract the struggle of the group.
The group stressed that the claim by “enemies of the Niger Delta” might be in connection of Soyinka’s “belief that the government of the day should understand the need to restructure and listen to the Niger Delta agitation positively”.
It said: “That we, the NDA have named Prof. Soyinka and some incredible names to advise and lead any group is the lie of the century.”
It however reiterated that the group supported the Chief Edwin Clark-led Niger Delta Elders and stakeholders conference committee to lead a pan-Niger Delta Negotiations and Dialogue Team whenever the Federal Government was ready.
