The former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar who
alongside seven other Governors formed a new PDP faction has been
ordered by the former leaders of militant groups in the Niger Delta
region to tender an apology letter to President Goodluck Jonathan for
tearing the ruling PDP apart.
Atiku
Abubakar has been declared a persona non-grata in the region by the
militants and they warned that they would not watch the same man who had
benefited a lot from the resources of the region, take others along for
his personal interest.
The group, under the backing of
Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiative made these
assertions in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital on Saturday during a
meeting to review political developments in the country.
Addressing
newsmen in Port Harcourt after the meeting, president of the group,
General Reuben Wilson, said the former Vice President was now an enemy
of the Niger Delta people since he had decided to lead other members of
the PDP to organise what he called a political coup against Jonathan.
According
to Wilson said, “It is unfortunate that Atiku who has benefitted so
much from the Niger Delta oil is leading dissidents in a political coup
against the first South Southerner to ever occupy the seat of president
of Nigeria.
“We are aware of his vast business interests in the
Niger Delta and we are warning him in his own interest to stay off the
region. He cannot be enjoying our oil money and at the same time use the
same money to fight against the owners of the oil”.
