The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, may have been hit by a crisis, following the purported endorsement of General Muhamadu Buhari (rtd) of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the presidential election, as a former leader of the group, ‘Gen’ Reuben Wilson, has called on Nigerians to disregard the said endorsement.He said that the ex-militants were all for President Goodluck Jonathan in next month’s presidential election.But Jomo Gbomo, who speaks for the group, has lambasted the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Ijaw Youth Congress, IYC, for questioning its credibility and describing MEND as a ghost organisation because of its proclaimed support for Buhari.Gbomo said: “MEND views the recent question and statement credited to the PDP National publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, as very callous and irresponsible. The question: ‘Explain your connections with MEND’ further confirms and vindicates our views about President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP.“MEND strongly denies any links with the APC and has never been approached for anything, at any point in time, by the party, as alleged by Olisa Metuh.”Wilson, on his part who spoke for the ex-militant commanders, called on Nigerians to ignore the Buhari endorsement story, describing same as part of the APC, propaganda ahead of the general elections. Reaffirming the support of ex-militants in the region for the second term bid of President Jonathan, Reuben who is now a Pastor, said: “MEND ceased to exist from the day we all keyed into the amnesty programme of the Federal Government,” adding that what they had as Jomo Gbomo was a pseudonym used by the ex-agitators to prosecute their crusade as MEND years back.“We challenge the Jomo Gbomo to show his face on a national television the way we will do, as we have always done. Since we left the creeks, we have integrated into the society, contributing to the development of the country. We have stopped all forms of militant activities under any guise, including MEND activities.”He added that at the moment there was nothing like Jomo Gbomo or MEND, stressing that they owned MEND and also collapsed it after they embraced the Federal Government’s amnesty programme.“We have read and heard of reports in the media on the purported endorsement of the APC presidential candidate, Buhari, and have decided to inform the public that we, the former leaders of militant camps, who owned and controlled the activities of MEND, did not and could not have endorsed Buhari as our candidate.“We are aware that the APC and their presidential candidate are desperate for power and are ready to do anything to mislead the public as part of their desperate efforts to take over power this year. But it is criminal to use the name of MEND to score a cheap point and deceive the public.“For the avoidance of doubt, let us put it clearly that we owned MEND and we never endorsed Buhari. Neither Buhari nor MEND can shave our head in our absence.”

Ajua!!! Henry okah's brand of MEND seeking relevance.

..

Now who should we believe
Let this election be held please; So that all these blasting, endorsements and propagandas will stop.

I'm tired of all these endorsement tales.

So who did?

.

APC deceiving Nigerians since 2013, they are dishing out propaganda every 4hours, watch out for more.

You need to face your preaching business fulltime, Instead comment on President Jonathan's claim that MEND, which you were a member of then, was out to assassinate him with the independence day bombings

I keep saying it.
MEND doesn't exist anymore, Jomo Gbomo never existed.
Even Shekau shows his face, who is this Jomo Gbomo?

LRNZH:


You have come again with this useless logic of yours.

So who does Henry Okah work for? Who was GEJ referring to in this video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JN4Uuz1ZKg

You have not seen Jomo Gbomo's face but you have seen his handiwork. All those oil installation bombings especially under OBJ's administration.

Collynzo9. You have come again.

I said they don't exist anymore.
Their real leaders have also come out to say the same.
Jomo Gbomo was a pseudonym they used in giving out public information in those days. APC propaganda machine took advantage of that name to give their candidate a phantom endorsement.
Former MEND leaders have come out on TV to deny it, let the ghost called Jomo Gbomo come out too.

EX MEND

So what else do you need to know?

MEND endorsed him not EX MEND

Collynzo9:

when it comes to niger delta losing the presidency, you mention that MEND will show nigeria shege, but when it comes to MEND endorsing buhari, you say they don't exist anymore. Na wah for you o!

FORMER MEND denied it, but not CURRENT MEND.

The real MEND that endorsed Buhari has spoken. Even APC are not making noise about it,but see how pained Jonathan and PDP are.

I expected Jonathan to say MEND was not existing,but he didn't. He even went further to affirm Henry Okar's leadership of MEND.

MEND has endorsed Buhari,can we now move on?

Collynzo9:

Remember how FFK on behalf of GEJ's campaign team refuted your claim of Boko Haram endorsing GMB?
You have run into that scenario again with this MEND issue.

Ruben Abati in his statement on behalf of GEJ asking GMB not to rely on MEND's endorsement did not insinuate that they are no longer in existence. He called them Henry Okah's faction meaning they still exist.

Read Abati's statement:
“We have noted with amusement, the vituperations against President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan by the renegade faction of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) headed by the convicted terrorist, Henry Okah in a statement issued to endorse the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. http://247nigerianewsupdate.co/jonathan-to-buhari-dont-rely-on-mends-alleged-endorsement/#sthash.EWU8Y0NA.dpuf

Very soon you will claim the Ogoni communities that recently endorsed GMB and APC have been wiped out under Abacha and no longer exist.

Na wa for you oh.

The current MEND no get face?
The faces we use to see when MEND was existing have all come out to deny that statement, why should we believe the words of a ghost over theirs?
Remember, this isn't the first time they have said MEND no longer exists, Asari said it in 2013.

but if MEND had endorsed GEJ, they will have a face , abi? Soon the whole ijaw land will endorse buhari just as the ijaw community in lagos endorsed him yesterday when they met fashola.

MEND Endorses Buhari
Boko haram endorsed Buhari also.
Don't be surprised when you see Al Qaeda endorsing Buhari. Buhari remains the number 1 choice for terrorist.

Who care meanwhile buhari/osinbajo till jonathan can recall that corruption is total way of bringing the economic of the nation down

If they had endorsed GEJ, you guys would have used it against the man as usual by claiming he is a friend of militants etc.

admit it bro, his boys are leaving him.

Any MEND without the Farahs,Atekes,Boyloaf, Asari, Tompolo et al na serious counterfeit . . . . .

Those where the faces of MEND while Okah was simply their gun runner who they collectively fought for (according to Boyloaf)

Collynzo9:

You have no argument here.
GEJ is a darling of militants. Tompolo is running NIMASA. The scale of oil bunkering going on under GEJ is the largest in the history of Nigeria.

400,000 barrels per day bunkered. We did the maths it was about $10 Billion per annum at $80 per barrel.

All of a sudden Tompolo is buying private jet and warships. Asari is building university in Benin Republic.

We don't need MEND endorsement to know GEJ is a friend of militants.

APC is known for lies and propaganda just to return power to The North.

Time would tell, Nigerians would certainly know the truth and those on the Lords side and against.
