Former president Goodluck Jonathan has raised the alarm that the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) are unrelenting in their “heinous plot” to eliminate him.

Jonathan also denied sponsorship of any militant group including the Niger Delta Avengers in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Ikechukwu Eze yesterday.

He described the allegation by one Cynthia White, purportedly from MEND, as “too cheap and
false”.

He said the “violent and murderous underground” group led by one Henry Okah, which he said had not hidden its intention to destroy him and had made several attempts in the past to eliminate him had not achieved its aim because of God’s protection upon his life. “For the avoidance of doubt, we
are fully convinced that such an idiotic claim is too cheap a narrative, a facile contrivance so
badly concocted that any discerning mind would easily see through its disingenuous
and duplicitous nature. “We, therefore, have no doubt in our mind that MEND, as a group
contracted to go after Jonathan with the mind of assassinatinghim, is yet to abandon this
criminal and ignominious craving. “It is in this light that we view the
purported statement issued by ‘Cynthia White’ as not only a sadistic continuation of this sick
desire, but also a futile attempt to instigate the federal government to needlessly go after the former
President. “Those who have been following the unsavoury developments in some parts of
the country since the last general elections, especially the ones
that held in the South-south states, would have noticed that the nefarious MEND, their pay
masters and other unscrupulous elements in the region, have been striving fruitlessly to
exploit the ensuing confusion, by surreptitiously working for the fulfilment of its yet-to-be
declared political agenda. “It is our considered view that the statement in question is an
off-shoot of that ignoble plan, this time plotting to rubbish and torpedo the ongoing peace
efforts in the region,” the statement said.

“We are not under any illusion that more accusations and allegations of this nature would
not be hurled Jonathan’s way in the future, especially as his enemies appear to have
perfected the act of throwingmud each time his profile gains added impetus and acclaim,” he
added.
