Speaking on behalf of the militants, Mike Loyibo said the coalition withdrew the quit notice after they were told of the implications it would have on the region.
The Ijaw chief said the entire Niger Delta people are not in agreement with the quit notice issue.
He blamed the Arewa youths for causing tension in the polity and frowned on the way and manner the government treated them.
The coalition of Niger Delta militants has withdrawn the October 1 quit notice they issued to northerners and Yoruba living in the region.
The Pan Niger Delta People’s Congress (PNDPC) claimed they were given the mandate by the issuers of the quit notice to withdraw it, The Nation reports.
The coalition comprises the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers, Niger Delta Joint Revolutionary Crusaders Council, Niger Delta Supreme Egbesu Fighters, Niger Delta Red Scorpion Fighters, Niger Delta Youth Mandate for Justice, Niger Delta People’s Liberation Force, Niger Delta Fighters for Resource Control, Niger Delta for Urhobo Resource Control, and Bakassi People’s Liberation Force.
