The Movement
for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) views the recent question and
statement credited to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Publicity
Secretary, Olisa Metuh, as very callous and irresponsible. This question:
“Explain your connections with MEND”, further confirms and vindicates our views
about Goodluck Jonathan, his inept government and the PDP.
MEND
strongly denies any links with the All Progressive Congress ( APC ) and has
never been approached for anything, at any point in time, by the party, as
pettily alleged by Olisa Metuh.
The Movement
for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) stands strongly by our
endorsement and full support of General Muhammadu Buhari as the man to lead the
country out of its present calamitous state in the hands of Goodluck Jonathan.
MEND finds
it laughable the recent statement by Mr Eric Omare, the Publicity Secretary of
a mere tribal assembly and political praise singers, known as the Ijaw Youth
Council, stating that “MEND is a ghost”. We clearly understand their
frustrations at our stance as it obviously came as a shock to them.
Nigerians
should ask this man (Eric Omare), if he was referring to “ghosts” when he
lauded MEND for declaring a temporary ceasefire six (6) months ago as can be
seen in the following links: http://thewillnigeria.com/news/iyc-hails-mend-ceasefire-urges-boko-haram-to-lay-down-arms/

The Movement
for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) once more, urges Nigerians to
ignore the empty threats of this so-called “ex-agitators” and the Ijaw Youth
Council. Their reckless utterances only ridicule and confirm the colossal
failure of the “Amnesty Programme”. We advise the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) to
use their idle time in telling and showing Nigerians and Niger Deltans what the
government of Goodluck Jonathan has done or achieved in Nigeria and the region
in the last six years in office, apart from giving them handouts called
“Monthly Stipends”.
“If you once
forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their
respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the
time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can’t fool
all of the people all of the time” – Abraham Lincoln.
For our Freedom
and Yours
