Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) on Tuesday stunned Nigerians by pledging total support for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, in next month’s presidential election... Gen. Buhari Campaign tour started in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.. MEND was there to show him support
The major agitating militant group in the President’s Niger Delta region in a press statement circulated via email by its Spokesperson, Jomo Gbomo, anchored its decision on the need to deliver Nigeria particularly the Niger Delta region from the crunching effects of corruption.
The rights group further decried the nonchalant attitude of the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration at the unrelenting degradation of the Niger Delta environment and condemned in strong terms the increasing spat of oil theft in the region.
MEND, while insisting that President Jonathan does not deserve a second shot at the presidency, commended Buhari for proposing to scrap the office of the First Lady which it considered a drain on the nation’s resources and a conduit through which corrupt government officials steal across all levels of government.
