Addressing youths in the creeks of Ton ton ba, former President of the Students Union of the University of Nigeria and leader of the revolution, declared:
“Today is a great day in history of the Niger Delta….not because we are going to bring the heavens down, but because we are going to demonstrate to the world how we feel about oppression. Remember your 70 year old grandmother who still farms before she eats. Remember your poverty-stricken people. And then remember your petroleum which is being pumped out daily from your veins, and fight for your freedom”
