The initial plan was to leak the<br \/>\ninformation that the vice president would go in Buhari&#8217;s place as a decoy<br \/>\nto disarm the vigilance of the militants while the president actually goes<br \/>\nto conduct a quick launch of the oil spill clean-up exercise and swiftly<br \/>\nreturn to Abuja.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuhari is trying to visit Ogoniland, but he should sign his death warrant<br \/>\nbefore coming to Port Harcourt or try to visit any state of the Niger<br \/>\nDelta community, Biafra land,\u201d the suspected NDA member said during the<br \/>\nphone call.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are starting a dance he cannot finish. We shall dance like vultures.<br \/>\nHe [Buhari] has dared to wake a sleeping lion, but I promise him this time<br \/>\naround if he tries to step his foot in any community of the Niger Delta,<br \/>\nin Biafraland, he will not go back alive. Any Niger Deltan who will try to<br \/>\nwalk with Buhari shall also go to his grave that day. This is our<br \/>\nassurance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, Nigeria\u2019s director of Defence<br \/>\nInformation, had boasted to IBTimes UK the government does not perceive<br \/>\nNDA as a threat. \u201cNiger Delta is part of Nigeria and will remain part of<br \/>\nNigeria for life. Buhari is the president, he is number one, he can go<br \/>\nanywhere he<br \/>\nwants,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The] NDA are just criminals and we are treating them as criminals. We<br \/>\nare not being intimidated, we remain focussed to ensure security in the<br \/>\ncountry and that Nigeria remains one. Nobody is above the interest of the<br \/>\ncountry,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo nation can tolerate an individual group causing havoc and advocating<br \/>\nfor separation. There are measures in our constitution to ensure this will<br \/>\nnot happen. We cannot and will not tolerate what these people are doing.<br \/>\nIn the long run, they will surely pay for they have done.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warnings from the United States and Britain was responsible for President Mohammadu Buhari\u2019s cancellation of his well-publicized trip to Ogoni land, Rivers State, State Department sources confirmed to Pointblanknews.com.
