It is being rumoured that President Mohammadu Buhari may be planing to invite 39 Islamic nations including Saudi Arabia ,to wage a war against the Niger Delta Avengers.
An online medium "Dodex news" reports
that President Buhari will be bringing in Saudi Blackwater mercenaries to the
Niger Delta region to effectively end the menace of Niger Delta Avengers.
President Buhari’s rationale for
bringing in Saudi Mercenaries was hinged on the Federal Government’s description
of militancy in the Delta region as terrorism.
The
President had visited Saudi Arabia some
months ago.
One outcome
of that trip , it was learnt was a
proposal by the Saudi Monarch for Nigeria to join a coalition of Islamic
Nations against terror.
President
Buhari initially denied Nigeria was not going to be part of that coalition.
On a later
date, PMB disclosed in an interview he granted Al Jazeera in his visit to Doha
that Nigeria was indeed part of the Islamic coalition.
According to
Buhari, “We are part of it (the Islamic coalition) because we’ve got terrorists
in Nigeria that everybody knows which claim that they are Islamic.
“So, if
there’s an Islamic coalition to fight terrorism, Nigeria will be part of it
because we are casualties of Islamic terrorism.
“Why can’t
those Christians that complained go and fight terrorism in Nigeria or fight the
militancy in the South.
“Nigeria
that matters, not the opinion of some religious bigots,” Buhari stated.
The Islamic
Military Counter Terrorism Coalition, is an alliance of 39 countries in
the Sunni Muslim world united to fight ISIS and other terror activities in
Islamic nations.
Since
Nigeria is part of a global Islamic coalition against terrorism, then the group
can also send in their forces on a nation’s request.
