MEND Backs Buhari For presidency by boman2014: 3:45pm On Jan 06, 2015

The presidential candidate of the All
Progressives’ Congress (APC),
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), on
Tuesday gained an unusual
support as the main agitating
militant group in the Niger Delta, the Movement for the Emancipation of
the Niger Delta (MEND), pledged its
total support for the former military
ruler. MEND, in a lengthy press statement
circulated through email by its
spokesperson, Jomo Gbomo,
anchored its decision on the need
to deliver Nigeria, especially the
Niger Delta region, from the crunching effects of corruption. It also lamented the unconcerned
attitude of the President Goodluck
Jonathan’s administration at the
unrelenting degradation of the Niger
Delta environment, taking a hard
stance on the increasing level of oil theft in the region. President Jonathan, according to
MEND, does not deserve a second
more in the Presidency. The group also commended Buhari
for proposing to scrap the office of
the First Lady, which it considered
to be a drain on the nation’s
resources and a conduit through
which corrupt government officials stole across all levels of
government. It said, “The Movement for the
Emancipation of the Niger Delta
(MEND) has, upon careful
consideration of the state of the
nation, endorses and fully supports
the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Gen.
Mohammadu Buhari. “Our decision to throw our full
support on Gen. Mohammadu
Buhari stems from the pathetic state
in which the country has been put
by the government of Goodluck
Jonathan and our strong believe in Buhari as the man and change the
country needs. “President Goodluck Jonathan does
not deserve a second more in the
Presidency as soon as his tenure
expires as he has continuously and
blatantly disregarded the very
people who voted him into office. “A President that told Nigerian to
their faces that he does not ‘give a
damn’ when asked to declare his
assets. A requirement that is
constitutional on assuming the
office of the President. “President Jonathan, since
assuming his office, has setup
countless committees, whose
reports have never been
implemented. From the Nuhu
Ribadu report to the KPMG and fuel subsidy reports, just to mention a
few. “How can Nigerians expect a highly
corrupt person like Goodluck
Jonathan to fight corruption when
he believes that stealing is not
corruption, as he shamelessly told
the Nation? “He has proven beyond all
reasonable doubt, his inability to
tackle corruption or prosecute a
single government official in his six
years in office. “MEND finds it laughable the recent
statement by Goodluck Jonathan
on his government’s plan to fight
corruption. This statement not only
smacks of ignorance of the highest
order, but also shows just how stupid he thinks Nigerians are. A
president that had six years to
tackle the problem but chose to
shield corrupt government officials,
joined in the looting of our
resources and now has the temerity to say his government has a plan to
fight corruption. This is a big slap in
the face of every single Nigerian! “We re-state our disregard and lack
of confidence in President Goodluck
Jonathan. Rather than address the
perennial issues in the country
responsible for his administrations
failures, he is concentrating government funds in a campaign of
misinformation intended to
hoodwink Nigerians who,
unfortunately for him, are now wiser
and smarter than he is. “Goodluck Jonathan’s actions,
utterances and arrogance prove
that he is totally disconnected with
the situation facing the ordinary
Nigerian and completely out of
touch with reality.”

Ghen ghen! The chicken has finally come home to roost! It is eminently clear that GEJ will bite the dust of defeat come February. My fear is what the buccaneers around him may plunge the country into in vengeance

This is not just endorsement, but endorsement with facts and endorsement putting aside tribal sentiments... well thought statement, none of the claims can be denied by GEJ. GEJ is a complete failure, he should be saved the embarrassment of failing further

The part quoted above is one of the numerous reason why Nigerians should not hesitate to escort GEJ out of Aso Rock come Feb 14

We should invite him to come and celebrate Valentine's Day at Otuoke and ensure that the next picture of Aso Rock that he will see should be from inside a Catalogue


President of Corruption!

GEJ has defiled logic making every nigerian to understand that having the president from ones geo-political zone doesn't guarantee the development of the zone.
