 PRESS RELEASE

 COMBATING THE “THIRD TERM FLU”.

We are at the threshold of history! Never in the history of Nigeria has much money been made than today, yet never have our people lived in as much deprivation, pain and penury. This is an embarrassing paradox which has been the case since May 29, 1999, when General Olusegun Obasanjo junta, maximum ruler of the Nigerian state took over. During the famous oil boom of the 1970s and early 1980s, the highest price of crude oil was about $44 per barrel and the daily export was less than 1.8 million barrels. Under this regime crude oil has been sold around $70 per barrel and daily crude oil export of Nigeria has been around 2.5 million barrels. This is outside the daily gas export. Rather than this being a blessing, it has been converted to a curse by an individual who swims in tyranny.

Our society has made hellish since 1999 with cost of commodities doubling, crime rate tripling, corruption and capital flight quadrupling. The people expressed their rejection of Gen Olusegun Obasanjo’s tyrannical misrule in 2003 when they voted massively against him but in his usual nature as a perpetual dictator, he manipulated the electoral results in a manner that is unprecedented in the history of elections in the world. May the black Saturday of April 19, 2003 never repeat itself in our history! The second term of this satanic regime is characterized by accelerated ecological collapse, illegal arrest and detention, blackmail, assassinations, massacre and acts of genocide perpetrated against the Niger Delta peoples. We cannot wait to see the end of this cantankerous regime let alone tolerate it after 2007.

The inordinate ambition of the world’s greatest dictator, General Olusegun Obasanjo has created political instability leading to presidency-backed coup de tat in Bayelsa and Oyo States, crack in the presidency, fractionalization of all existing political association/parties and unnecessary political tension. The crises you see and hear in the land today are symptoms of an infection popularly known as third term flu. The Tami flu needed to combat this flu called third term is mass uprising. Niger Deltans and others will march out en masse and remain on the streets if the 1999 Constitution is manipulated to give room for OBJ to run for third term.

Finally, we salute the courage of members of the National Assembly who fought doggedly to truncate this vampiric agenda. We commend individuals and organizations who decided to oppose tenure elongation for these individuals who have stolen power away from the people. We acknowledge those media that have provided the medium for people to campaign against this satanic conspiracy against our people. We must all work together to make sure that power is returned back to the people!

Thank you.

The Niger Delta Struggle is Unstoppable!
