The Niger Delta Self Determination Movement (NDSDM) rose from our Emergency Meeting in Port Harcourt Rivers State on the 30th of June 2019 and have resolved the following:
1. That the Electorates of the Niger Delta Region and States
owes it to themselves to patiently wait until the ongoing court case concerning
the February 2019 Presidential Elections before taking a final and critical
decisions concerning the APC Federal Government of Nigeria, and as we take note
of the so far released Results of the different National and International
Organisations accredited by INEC who officially monitored the 2019 Presidential
Elections.
2. That the Federal Government of Nigeria, the President
Buhari lead APC Government have No Constitutional Rights to:
a. Forcefully under any guise or for any reasons take any
piece of Land from any LGA in any of the 36 states that make up Nigeria, in any
Region or in any LGA.
b. That the Ethnic Nationalities of all of the 6 Niger Delta
States Our State Governments, Senators, Members of House of Representatives,
State Houses of Assembly Members, Federal Government, the other 30 states of
Nigeria, Africa, UN and the World that NO PIECE OF LAND, or SEA FRONT, CREEKS,
SWAMPS, MANGROVES & FORESTS within the Niger Delta Region also referred to
as the South South is to be given, leased or sold to NON NIGER DELTANS for the
purpose or purposes of Cattle Grazing, Cattle Colonies, Ranching, Farming,
Routing, RUGA, etc specially or specifically to any other Ethnic Nationality,
Religion or Culture for any reason what so ever or because of any hardship
experienced, either such are natural or man made.
c. That the recognized Niger Delta people of the Riverines,
Creeks, Swamps, Mangroves and Oceanic are the INDIGENOUS PEOPLES of the Niger
Delta region and will not be oppressed into ceding a metre of the mentioned
places, as without these Indigenous peoples of the Riverines, Mangroves,
Swamps, Creeks, Rivers and Oceanic Communities Nigeria will have no Rights to
the Waters, Rivers and Shore lines of the Niger Delta not to speak of the 200
Nautical miles.
3. The incessant verbal attacks, and the threats targeted at
the people, Government of Rivers State and Governor Wike of Rivers State, will
not threaten Us Christians the Indigenous Owners of what we proudly today refer
to as Niger Delta Oil, Gas and Several other Natural resources rich Region (for
now in Nigeria) into silence.
4. The latest attacks, threats and insults are obviously
indicative of the frustrations been felt by the oppressive gang in Nigeria to
forcefully take Over and Control the Natural Resources rich and 100 percent
Christian Rivers State of the Niger Delta Region.
That Rivers State Government and People have so far allowed
the building of Mosques in our beloved Christian Rivers State and Niger Delta
is because we the different Ethnic and Indigenous Nationalities of Rivers State
and the Niger Delta region have always been tolerant and accommodating of other
Ethnic Nationalities and Religions.
It is foolishness for any Ethnic Nationalities indigenous or
non indigenous to Nigeria to assume us to be a weak people by whatever Choice
of assessment.
The accommodating and loving teachings of Jesus Christ the
Son of the Living GOD is not the teachings of ”DIE THAT YOUR ENEMY MAY LIVE. IT
IS A TEACHING THAT WE SHOULD LIVE THAT OUR LIVES WILL GLORIFY THE LIVING GOD.”
5. The NDSDM view the recent and several other attacks on
Governor Wike as coming a group, groups and people who are frustrated and
viciously angry at the Governor and the people of Rivers State for clearly
confirming by our positions, statements and body language that despite the
obvious misinformations, in fact deceits by a few sons and daughters of Rivers
State and Niger Delta having deceived the Federal Government, their political
party, some groups and Ethnic Nationalities in exchange for political power and
appointments that Rivers State and Niger Delta is in their hands it is clearly
clear that Rivers State and Niger Delta is firmly in the hands of the Ethnic
Nationalities and the people of Rivers State and Niger Delta.
The abuses targeted at the person of Gov. Wike and the
intelligence of the people of Rivers State by the false assessment of the
achievements of Gov Wike’s Government will achieve nothing as the people of Rivers
State will not dignify the lies that is the st trade mark of the attackers
targeting the Government and people of Rivers State.
Gov Wike have not declared Rivers State A CHRISTIAN STATE,
Rivers State have always been and remains a CHRISTIAN STATE. Gov. Wike as the
Governor of Rivers State is only stating the obvious truth and fact that Rivers
State Is A CHRISTIAN STATE.
And Gov. Wike is Right when he adds that there is no fear or
apology in stating that truth.
Not only is Rivers State a Christian State it will remain a
Christian State, if there is any doubt in anyone’s mind or any groups thinking
or any political cabals mind let us have a REFERENDUM AND A CENSUS to determine
that Rivers State and the Niger Delta people are Christians.
That there are Muslims who are not indigenes of Rivers State
and Niger Delta have lived in our Communities, LGA, States, and Region and
practice their religion freely and unmolested does not mean River State and
Niger Delta region is anything other than a Christian State and Region.
If any other Christian state in Nigeria or Niger Delta is
too political to state the fact that their State is a CHRISTIAN STATE let there
be no doubt that Rivers State people say without fear, favour or apology that
Rivers State is a CHRISTIAN STATE, and that Gov. Wike is only stating the very
obvious as he knows it not only as the Governor of Rivers State but as a Son of
The Christian Rivers State Soil.
6. That Nigeria is ‘facing religious and ethnic crises’ is
because a group of people had the audacity, temerity, and impunity to
recklessly believe that for some cultural and religious beliefs that Nigeria
and the majorly Christian Indigenous people of Nigeria belong to them, and have
unguardedly carried on illegal, murderous and unconstitutional acts against
Christians, by taking over the political power and control of Nigeria, the
control and ownership of their ancestral homelands and of the resources of the
Christian Niger Delta people and region.
It is people who are short on intelligence and who are
reckless that will continue to fool and delude themselves that the evil and
injustice they have carried on against us will continue, that the genocide and
pogrom, and land-grabbing will continue.
The NDSDM while not wanting to dignify actors and
perpetrators of greed must point out that the
Analogue governors are the ones who refuse to allow children
of the poor to use the Almajiri schools built by President Jonathan to acquire
knowledge that will take them out of begging, poverty and slavery.
Analogue Governors are the ones who pass laws to oppress the
rights of Christians to preach, worship, evangelise or own land to build
churches in their states and yet believe they have a higher right to be free to
practise their religion, and build Mosques of worship for themselves in
Christian states and regions.
7. This is not the last time Nigeria and the world will hear
Gov. Wike, Rivers indigenes and Servants of the Living GOD and followers of
Jesus Christ, and Students of the Holy Spirit say without fear, or favour that
Rivers State is a Christian State.
Niger Delta Region is a CHRISTIAN REGION.
It is not Christian Governors of the Niger Delta Region or
Gov. Wike of Rivers State that cooked religious fanaticism and dished it up to
Nigeria.
It is not Christians that have brought their non Nigeria
fanatical kit and kin from across other African countries to implement RUGA,
Cattle Grazing in other people’s land, Land Grabbing, Killings, running wild in
Northern Nigeria, South West, South East Raping, Kidnapping, Rapping, Murdering
and displacing Christians in their ancestral homelands, planning to set up
vigilantes in the homelands of indigenes.

Gov. Wike is a very intelligent Governor, other wise the
external plans to take over Rivers State by strangers and immigrants using
willing Rivers State fools would have happened.
Because Rivers State is a CHRISTIAN STATE the Living GOD who
knows the end from the beginning gave Gov. Wike and Rivers State people the
wisdom to know what to do.
Rivers State is a CHRISTIAN STATE, the discussion is not
about a Christian majority state, it is about a CHRISTIAN STATE ‘that’s all.’
Gov. Wike has nothing to learn from Governors who want to
remain Politically correct.
The only people Gov Wike will learn from are the people who
will stand up for their Faith and the Living GOD. We are Christians and we are
Proud to be Christians.
The Governors of some Northern States should empower
Almajiris by allowing them attend school to get an education. It is the only
way they will understand that to strap bombs to your body and blow up people
who have not done you any wrong in the name of anything is analogous.
Governor Wike did not declare RIVERS STATE a CHRISTIAN STATE
Wike is stating the obvious, RIVERS STATE IS A CHRISTIAN STATE.
THERE IS NO DUE PROCESS TO FOLLOW BEFORE A GOVERNOR OF A
CHRISTIAN STATE CAN SAY HIS STATE IS A CHRISTIAN STATE.
RIVERS STATE IS A CHRISTIAN STATE.
As a Christian and the Gov of a CHRISTIAN STATE Wike is
expected by the indigenes of the all Christian Rivers State to speak up as a
CHRISTIAN and for CHRISTIANITY.
IS THERE A NIGERIA PROJECT?
WHO ARE THE STAKE HOLDERS OF NIGERIA PROJECT?
Fear and Terror are not and will not be the Stakeholders in
Rivers State, the 1st STAKEHOLDER OF RIVERS STATE IS THE LIVING GOD the 2nd
Stakeholders are the Christian INDIGENOUS PEOPLES of Rivers State, Friends of
Rivers State, Lovers of Liberty, Equity and Justice, and Investors in Truth,
Security, Resources and Human Development, and the Future.
8. The NDSDM know that no person or persons, no Country, no
investors, no Governor or President can love Rivers State and the Niger Delta
region and people more than the Indigenous Ethnic Nationalities
of the States of the Niger Delta.
The Governor of Rivers State, Gov. Wike have demonstrated
this by his stand with and for the people of Rivers State and his Government.
The NDSDM is aware that no man is an angel or perfect, we
are not saying that Gov Wike is a perfect man, what we are saying is that as
long as his stand pleases the region and the people and as long as the people
of Rivers State are pleased with him, the people of Rivers State will access
and decide their fate and the fate of their Governor.. We will compare his
administration and that of others before him and decide if he has done better
or worst.
We will not judge Gov Wike by the assessment of those who have betrayed us and the strangers that hate us.
The people of Rivers State will not judge Governor Wike and
his government based on the assessment of the enemies and oppressors of Rivers
State Niger Delta.
The true sons and daughters of Rivers State not the ones
foolishly willing to sell their state to strangers will not be blindsided,
blackmailed, terrorised, improvised or starved into submission of oppression
and oppressors.
The few deceived into working with the enemies will fail
along with the oppressors.
Finally, The NDSDM will make our unambiguous position on
RUGA, CATTLE COLONIES, THE SHORE LINES and all other Issues affecting our very
existence as Indigenous peoples of the Niger Delta Region.
Our positions on all these and future issues about our
survival and rights to Self Determination has nothing to do with political
affiliations.
Political Parties Will Never be our Priority until the
Christian Niger Delta People and Region have our own POLITICAL PARTY.
Niger Delta people are just been used by people who think
they are masters of Political Powers in Nigeria.
