SOME former militants in the Niger Delta have cautioned the ‘New Peoples Democratic Party’ and Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi against stopping President Goodluck Jonathan from having a second term in office.

The ex-fighters, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, on Thursday, expressed anger over the emergence of a new PDP, adding that the development was targeted at preventing Jonathan from being re-elected in 2015.

The ex-militants who spoke under the aegis of the Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiative, described the action of the breakaway politicians in the new PDP as a ‘dissident act.’

National President of the group, ‘General’ Reuben Wilson, a.k.a Pastor, who signed the statement with three other former militant leaders said that they would adopt lawful means to stop those fighting against Jonathan’s second term bid.

The statement read in part, “Niger Delta freedom fighters, who have now regrouped under the aegis of the Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiative are angry with the Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi and the break-away members of the Peoples Democratic Party for their dissident act, which is targeted at preventing President Goodluck Jonathan from being re-elected in 2015.

“We will adopt every available lawful means to stop those who are fighting against the second term agenda of the President. As former freedom fighters in the Niger Delta, we are aware that oil production figures have risen appreciably because we accepted the amnesty agenda of the administration in which Mr. President was a key player in his capacity as Vice President at that time, and now as President.

“But because oil revenues have appreciated, all sections of the country have got some good revenue for their states. Unfortunately, these funds are being used for deadly and selfish political fights that are not in the best interest of the country.”

They accused members of the new PDP of working against the interest of the Nigerian masses and working to smear the character of the President.

They added, “The gladiators are all out to smear the character and person of Mr. President and ensure that he does not enjoy a re-election in 2015 so that they can take charge and continue to enslave us as was the case for decades.

“We will not fold our arms and watch a section of the country which believes that it is their birthright to rule Nigeria to chase Mr. President out of office. If their argument is that he is not performing, it would have been understood.”

Others who signed the statement are Henry Binidodogha (Edo), Granville Ideye (Rivers) and Ezekiel Akpasibewei (Delta State).

Reacting, the Chief of Staff, Rivers State Government House, Mr. Tony Okocha, said the ex-militants were wrong in concluding that the President was being prevented from vying and winning the 2015 election

Yes for paper, lawful means but for dia mind, na kidnapping means.

Our President is MEND spokesman, The Militants are simply defending their man and Sponsor Retardeen Jonathan

Ridiculous !!!!

I dy laugh ooooooooo, ex-militant fighting for democrazy

Amaechi has done more for Ijaws than Jonathan. These militants need to thread carefully because nobody holds on to power by threatening people openly. Jonathan should have used his opportunity as President to develop Ijawland.

If those abokis up-north think Boko Haram is the most effective tool for intimidating Jonathan out of office, then they should succeed and install one of their kind in 2015. They would then have to find a way of running their government with revenues from kilishi, suya, kunu, and groundnuts.

The Niger Delta militants would certainly make oil exploration and production in their region impossible. With their sophistication, they would make Boko Haram look like a rag-tag gang of medieval urchins. That much I know.

What is the name of that general again
Yes
Major General SARKI YAKIN BELLO
He is coming for y'all

New PDP and PDM should tread softly this Ex- militants no dey joke o....

I wish these bandits could just be deported to Helmand province. I detest in no small measure the press' continued coverage of their inconsequential rants. So sickening!
