‘He’s the change the country needs’: Buhari gets endorsement from MEND

by Isi Esene

After getting an unusually direct support from influential cleric, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka earlier in the year, All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari has been gifted another by Niger Delta militant group, Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND).

The group today released a statement endorsing the candidacy of the retired general based on his strict stance against corruption and his refreshing message of change.

In a lengthy statement signed by its spokesperson, Gbomo Jomo, the group hinged its support on its “strong believe in Buhari as the man and change the country needs.”

According to MEND, “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.”

Read the full statement below:

“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. Muhammadu Buhari.

“Our decision to throw our full support on Gen. Muhammadu 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.”

  3. This is the change nigeria needs.

  4. It’s surprising that the same people that cried wolf when it seemed MEND was supporting GEJ are the ones leaping for joy at this endorsement. I don’t think it’s a thing of joy. The bottomline is a terrorist group is supporting your candidate. What does that make him?
