NDGJM not ready for talks with the Federal Government
After attacking the 42-inch delivery line operated by NPDC, the NDGJM announced that it was not ready for talks with the Federal Government. NDGJM also warned government to be cautious of conflict merchants and political jobbers in the region and said: “Be wary of these political jobbers, whose stock in trade has always been using the struggle to profiteer. We have severally indicated how to end this and definitely not through political jobbers and conflict merchants. If, and when we have reasons to trust anybody to hold discussions with, we shall, through this same medium, announce the process and the persons. This is a warning for the wise.”
