While hosting leaders of the ruling All Progressive Party ( APC) at the Presidential Villa yesterday , the president said “ I honestly don’ t know how many factions of the militants there are in the Niger Delta compared to the north east where you have only the Boko Haram “ The technology being deployed by the militants to destroy oil installations is high tech , the way they can go on high sea and international waters and target oil installations is a national problem . It is affecting development .

“ No insurance company will want to insure installations that will end up being blown up and no banks will want to finance such installations . “ Those of you who have friends among the leadership or even the militants themselves should plead with them in the name of God Almighty to take it easy , he said.
“ We need to stablise to create employment , we need to stabilise the economy, I agonise over these things . We are in a very difficult time , so we have to organise ourselves . Anybody that says he has any other country than Nigeria should go out and see . ”
