MEND Accuses Jonathan For Using Avengers To Destabilise Buhari’s Govt

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta says it has been vindicated by the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers’ allegation that former President Goodluck Jonathan is a grand patron of new militant group, the Niger Delta Avengers.

MEND claimed in a statement on Tuesday that Jonathan was sponsoring the NDA to destabilise the government of his successor, President Muhammadu Buhari.

The statement signed by one Jomo Gbomo was MEND’s response to Jonathan’s denial of the allegation by the RNDA, linking the ex-President with the new militant group.

The full text of the statement was made available to online news platform, SaharaReporters by MEND.

MEND said it was highly infuriated by Jonathan’s rebuttal of the RNDA earlier claim, particularly his declaration that Henry Okah was after his life rather than clear the air on the allegation.

The statement said, “MEND cannot hold brief for the RNDA, which pointedly accused Mr. Jonathan of complicity in fueling the ongoing Niger Delta crisis and patronising the NDA, apparently for political reasons.

“We are, however, quick to point out the fact that the RNDA has merely vindicated MEND’s belief and conviction that the former President and his cronies, who lost the 2015 presidential election, were using the illegal and treasonable NDA platform to destabilise President Buhari’s government.”

PDP Fears Alleged Plans To Destabilise Ekiti

The Ekiti State Chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has raised alarm at alleged plans by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to destabilise the region by burning some petrol stations. It is alleged the APC is planning to commit the crime before the end of the week.

Jackson Adebayo, State Publicity Secretary of PDP, alleged such plans were hatched in a meeting of the leaderships of the APC, which lasted into the early hours of Tuesday.

The PDP spokesman said the meeting was held at the house of one of the leaders of the APC in Ajilosun area of Ado Ekiti.

He maintained that the decision of the APC to kick start the agenda to destabilize the state was to prevent the state government under the leadership of Ayo Fayose from settling down so that he would not be able to commence the development plans he had for Ekiti.

Adebayo noted some of the hoodlums that were assigned carry out the act were already monitoring the state. “We want to, in this respect call for vigilance in the part of petrol dealers in order not to fall victim while warning some of them who might conspire with the APC to commit this crime to stop forthwith because we in PDP will do everything possible to expose them,” Adebayo said.

“We also call on all the security agencies to come to the aids of the people of the state in order to avoid the destructive agenda being orchestrated by the leaderships of APC,” he added.

There have been tensions in the state where some APC legislators are challenging the election of Fayose last year, citing alleged vote rigging.

Comment could not be obtained from the party.
