A notable ex-militant leader who is also the Mayor of Urhoboland, Eshanakpe Israel a.k.a Akpodoro, has warned those he described as conflict entrepreneurs, anarchists, demagogues who are calling flying Russian flags and calling for change of regime to dare attack the nation’s democratic life and face the wrath of the Niger Delta Ex militants.
He said nobody is more Nigerian than the others not even the ‘born to rule’ who see Nigeria as their exclusive right, noting that, anti Tinubu agenda will fail woefully.
He said when the then Senator Tinubu was in the trenches against the military with his league of pan Nigerians, “their fathers were whining and dinning with the military.”
He wondered why Northern youths decide to personalise the supposed peaceful protest and turning the same to a launching pad for rascality and calling for full a blown anarchy.
He said the Niger Delta Ex agitators are monitoring the developments closely saying whoever dares President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s mandate dares the nation’s jugular and would have the Ex militants in the South-South geopolitical zone to contend with.
He said a group of miscreants cannot hold Nigeria hostage for the actions and inactions of their successive leaders who he said grounded the Nigerian economy.
He questioned the rationale behind a continuous riot even after the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces had spoken loud and clear to the nation.
Akpodoro recalled that even though the northern elements didn’t join in the #ENDSARS riot of 2020 due mainly to the reason that their own was in power but that when the then President Buhari addressed the nation, the ##ENDSARS protest stopped immediately as he asked, “what does the North want?
The North, he said, led Nigeria into the economic woes the nation is experiencing, noting that President Tinubu has been nice not to have told the nation the volume of rot he inherited from administration of General Muhammadu Buhari.
He said: “Northern youths should be very careful because they don’t have the monopoly of stupidity.”
Mayor Akpodoro stated that the nucleus of the agitation occasioned by violent protests in the northern part of Nigeria by the #endbadgovernance protesters is clearly obvious by the day.
He noted that some election losers are behind the criminal rampage with the sole aim of dismantling democratic structures in the country as he called on the President to come tough on the agents of that serial election loser lest he plunges the nation into anarchy.
Mayor Akpodoro noted in a statement he issued in Abuja Monday, that from the unfolding developments in the North, what the sponsors of the criminal agitation deceptively wrapped in a peaceful protest is nothing but a regime change irrespective of whose ox is gored.
The vociferous Mayor was quick to warn those calling for military in the North that they will pay darely for their action should they derail the largest African democracy in the mischievious actions while he called on the President to come harder on those seeking a particular politician whose Nigerianess is even in doubt to takeover the reign of governance.
The riots in Kano, Kaduna and Maiduguri, the modern Urhobo ruler said has a defined end saying, “I was not surprised hearing the so-called protesteds in several footages calling on the military to take over while in another breath, in Kaduna particularly, a certain politician who we all know has his hands soiled with criminal complicity in the ongoing national unrest was mentioned as the one they need. That’s their brand of protest.
“However, same insurrectionists didn’t ask an inept, clueless, senile…immediate past President Buhari to step down. They have imported ethnic supremacy into their campaign and again, such is an ill wind that will blow no one any good. If the purpose is for regime change, Tinubu’s presidency should immediately roll out the tanks to protect our democracy.
“The Kaduna rioters have left us in no doubt that the agenda of the sponsors of the civil unrest is to become the president through the backdoor by creating anarchy and undermine our democracy.
They flew Russian flags in flagrant disregard to Nigeria’s sovereignty an act that is treasonable in itself. The born to-rule Mafia are the ones behind the rascality stand on their usual erroneous entitlement to the Nigerian state.
“It is time for the security apparatus to step up action and end this seditious actions being staged by anti democratic elements in our midst. The traditional practitioners of violence is the military institution and no one does it better. It is time the the security agencies make our political space uncomfortable for criminal elements,” the modern Urhobo ruler stated.
