Spokesperson of the group, Osama Blatter in a statement yesterday insisted that the group was not a terrorist organisation but it was only agitating for the emancipation of the Niger Delta region.
The group was responding to claims by second Republic lawmaker and Northern politician, Dr Junaid Mohammed, who urged President Muhammadu Buhari to treat them as terrorists.
The group said, “We commend Junaid for remembering that Boko Haram is a terrorist group, but we want to unequivocally tell the ethnic bigot that we are just agitators and not terrorists. Our activities and Boko Haram cannot be compared.
“We are not deterred by the call by Junaid Mohammed because such calls will only facilitate the crumbling of Nigeria, which is what we are after. Junaid should be informed that we never begged to be appeased by Hausa/Fulani President, Muhammadu Buhari.
“We are only fighting to leave Nigeria, which has enslaved and exploited us for too long. We are not sponsored by any politician, but it a civic duty required of us to liberate our people from slavery.”
