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 assassinating him, 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 throwing mud each time his profile gains added impetus and acclaim,” it added

The thing is; like almost all the supposed 'leaders' in the Niger/delta are sympathetic to the riffraffs that called themselves avengers, including you Mr Jonathan. You people were roundly beated and defeated in the last election, so you guys are still finding it hard to move on. Oh but guess what; you can bomb your lands from now till thy-kingdom-come, it will still never make buhari relinquish his powers to some dumb miscreants.

Many of my like minds actually don't even care about the sponsors of the so-called avengers, because we know they are just destroying their lands and polluting their waters, plus the gas flaring they are endangering their kids to, but we won't allow anybody to blackmail the presidency with that childish nonsense called avenging.

The avenging should be restricted to Niger/delta and any other region that is interested in joining the avenging jubilee.

cktheluckyman:

Enough of these rants Shebi you people claimed Jonathan was weak against book haram and Buhari is the new sheriff in town? He should go ahead and annihilate the avengers and stop whining

fiizznation:
Sorry to burst your bubble lad, boko haram and their sympathizers are already hanging on the gallows waiting for the last 'sharp pain of the butcher's knife'. Your avengers time will come. Be patient my friend. You know everything in this life is one step at a time.

keally:

which boko haram are you talking about? the one that still ambush and kill your soldiers? or is it because there is a blackout of their activities by government order to media houses? or why do you think buhari is going to chad this week. just continue being gullible, you hear?. Any attempt to use force against Avengers will be a repeat of history of Vietnam. A word is enough for the wise.

Do they still ride around seizing territories, overturning military bases, bombing as far as Abuja and Lagos, threatening the Presidency like they used to?

“I am from the Niger Delta. My father’s house is a few metres from an oil-well, so nobody can claim to be a Niger Delta than myself.

“It is erroneous to think that my people who
have been agitating for good living will
deliberately blow up the opportunity they have
now”.

“We know the persons behind the terrorist attacks on the nation. We know they used an organisation that operates in the Niger
Delta called MEND as a front, but we are aware
that MEND is not a terrorist organisation.”

cktheluckyman:

Waiting for him to annihilate the avengers as the new sheriff in town

Jonathan is haunted by his conscience. The October 2009 bombing was contracted by him to blackmail Northerners which Henry Okah rejected and had his family destroyed for just refusing to implicate Northerners in the bombing. The future remains pregnant for Mr Jonathan as freedom for Okah brothers puts him in danger.

We all know that MEND hated GEJ and are behind the RNDA attempting to blackmail GEJ as they have an axe to grind with him. They are ready to parley the devil himself to get back at him.
Former 'Jomo Gbomo' is today's 'Cynthia Whyte'.

fiizznation:
Take a hot seat my friend and shut up. When last did you hear any bomb blast in any part of the north? Was this the case before?

Boko haram have been annihilated and if you can't stomach this, then am sorry because I can't help you, rather you might need a Headshrinker

ba7man:
That's Why people like you are irrational and not too good at decision making.

Why not infiltrate their ranks and destroy them from within?


Don't you watch how Americans bring down drug cartels without firing a bullet?

Progressive01:
This post just brought be back to something unusual which has been going on unnoticed- [b]rarely do we read news about bomb blasts by BH.

Imagine a milestone like this was achieved under the last admin- person for no see road put one foot for social media sef- imagine the noise they made about one mediocre "rail transformation".
