Jomo Gbomo, founding member and spokesman, Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) says his group has pledged its readiness to support security operatives in safeguarding crude oil installations from attacks.

Gbomo in a statement made available to newsmen on Friday in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital condemned the threat on crude oil facilities in Niger Delta by some ex-militants and agitators in the region.

This decision by (MEND) is coming days after a new militant group, the Niger Delta  Development Force, has threatened to bomb Oil installations over an alleged plot to use a federal high court in Abuja to deny the Rivers state local government allocations.

The group in a statement on Sunday by its Spokesman, Mr Justin Alabraba has vowed that any judgment that denies Local government Areas in Rivers state their monthly statutory allocations would be met with heavy disruption of oil installations in the region.

However, (MEND) spokesman, noted that the group would not support violence associated with political disputes between Mr Nysom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and his estranged political son Gov. Siminalayi Fubara.

Saying ”The threat to the economy of the country over a political dispute between two politicians who were allies is unfortunate, more so, both politicians are sons of the Niger Delta.

”We cannot in the present circumstance be tricked into carrying arms against the Nigerian state on behalf of any of them, not even for any price.

”As an Ijaw son, I know the gains of having an Ijaw man as governor in Rivers, an achievement which would not have been possible but for collaboration of other ethnic groups.

”This healthy collaboration from the various ethnic groups which produced an Ijaw son as governor was spearheaded by the FCT Minister.

”On that note, we shall, therefore, offer full cooperation to the security operatives so as to ensure that individuals or groups constituting threats to smooth crude oil exploration, alongside their sponsors, are brought to book.

”If you are going for revenge, you better dig two graves, one for yourself and one for your enemy, a word is enough for the wise,” Gbomo warned.

However, he urged the elders and traditional institutions in the region to unbiasedly intervene in the lingering political crises while urging affected parties to seek judicial redress if peaceful dialogue fails.
