A statement signed by Jomo Gbomo said the group’s decision to support General Mohammadu Buhari arises from the pathetic state in which the country has been put by the government of Mr. Jonathan and its strong belief in General Buhari as the man and change the country needs.
“It is very clear that the Niger Delta region now regrets voting a corrupt and incompetent leader who they believed would [bring] transformation to the region, in spite of our earlier warnings about Goodluck Jonathan,” MEND said. “He (Goodluck Jonathan) has only succeeded in infecting the region with poverty, corruption and mal-administration. This is our chance not to repeat this costly blunder of 2011.”
It challenged every Niger Deltan to ask themselves if the region is any better under Goodluck Jonathan than it was under a sick Late President Musa Yar'Adua. We are convinced that the people of the Niger Delta have woken up to realise that voting Goodluck Jonathan simply because of tribe, was the biggest mistake they made.”
MEND said President 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.”
It recalled that Mr. Jonathan, since assuming his office, has setup countless number of “Committees”, none of which their reports has ever been implemented. From the Nuhu Ribadu report to the KPMG and Fuel Subsidy reports, just to mention a few.
