The militant group said “We therefore hope that the Federal Government shall reach out to the Aaron Team Leader, Mr. Odein Ajumogobia, to signal government intention to commence the dialogue. If after two weeks from the date of publication of this Right of Reply, we don’t hear from the Federal Government, MEND shall safely assume that the government is truly not sincere about the dialogue on the Niger Delta question and responds only to the threat of violence or industrial action.”
The former minister of foreign affairs, Odein Ajumogobia had earlier denied accepting to represent the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND).
