that it could resume hostilities should the 8th National Assembly fail
to check the ridiculous salaries and allowances of lawmakers at the
detriment of other Nigerians.
Spokesperson of the group, Jomo Gbomo, in a statement, said: "We
have observed with disgust, the brazen disregard for the feelings of
the change-seeking masses by very selfish members of the eighth
National Assembly.
"If the lawmakers refuse to make the necessary adjustments needed to
accommodate the needs of the masses and the Niger Delta region, it may
lead to the resumption of hostilities and Nigerians should hold the
eighth National Assembly responsible should that happen. Enough is
enough.
"These wicked individuals appropriate to themselves huge and absurd
salaries and allowances at the expense of the millions of hapless
Nigerians who have not been paid for months their salaries, pensions
and other due benefits they deserve.
"The Niger Delta region where the bulk of revenue that sustains the
nation comes from, continues to suffer neglect, environmental
degradation and lack, made worse by the very corrupt and visionless
past government and its cronies, some of who still shamelessly parade
themselves on national television and other media platforms as Niger
Delta activists."
