The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has noted today’s press release by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) reiterating their endorsement of General Muhammadu Buhari.
We invite well-meaning and patriotic Nigerians to note the endorsement and support for General Buhari by all kinds of violent groups.
The peace and unity of our great country remain paramount in the policies and programmes of our great party. Finally, we stand by the statement of our leader and President of Nigeria, President Goodluck Jonathan on this matter.
Signed:
Olisa Metuh
National Publicity Secretary
Full text of the MEND press statement released earlier today...
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/ http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/daily/news/26006-ijaw-group-hails-mend-ceasefire(http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/06/iyc-lauds-mend-ceasefire-n-delta/)
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.

But because is buhari now is a violent group.
Nonsense politics

So first the Ijaw people support GMB, now MEND there is wahala oh!
>>>> Jonathan's Government is full of comedians and retards. <<<<
Besides, like the rest of us you can see the insecurity in Nigeria, lack of basic needs and fundamental hunan right abuses by GEJ and his Gang....
Seen
Okay....
PDP representatives can continue to run their mouth. Buhari is who we want
Drama
Rubbish!!!
lolzzzzzz.....These pple wont kill sumone
Even MEND have disowned GEJ,I have a friend that went to dubai for safety train through the amnesty program,almost 3years since he came back to nigeria no work,just try visit bayelsa you will not want to see or hear GEJ name,you will hate him more than the way people do..poverty is alive and well in bayelsa state where the president came from,it was there in one highland called brass I saw where uncooked tubers of yam,slize into hand full cubic size and sold for one 50naira,that place is not like an oil state at all,what a shame...**EMZEALLOUS**
.and the drama continues
Lololol..linda not supporting any party cos non has approached you yet with millions... Linda linda...
He was unsuccessful in 2003, 2007, 2011 so I really don't think MEND supporting him in 2015 will make much difference...
Can't wait for dis whole drama to end *sigh
Really speechless
Dis 2015 is really gonna b interesting. Linda take note!
Goodluck, haven't you seen credible reasons why you don't deserve our votes again? Kindly decline and remain respected or remain humiliated. For the record, you are unreasonable.
Peace shall reign in 9JA...InshaAllah
True talk,sai buhari
Politics is becoming very interesting.

Honestly Linda u r just short of coming out openly to campaign for Buhari
I watched Jonathan rally today.I saw an angry president blaming other people for all his failures forgetting he has been in power for 6years.I remember the Bomb blast at Eagle square 4yrs ago,MEND told the whole world they were behind the blast,they even warned 2 days before the incident.Jonathan as the CinC was the first to defend MEND.his word' Mend are my people,they are not responsible for this'but Today the story has changed bcos MEND said they support GMB.my take if GEJ is so forgetful,Nigerians are not and we are not gullible and stupid as he think we are. GMB all the way.Nigeria will be great again.
lets just b a refree in this match

Jonathan no get anybody time na him pocket him just sabi

* * commenting live from river ethiope **
But Linda they have always been a violent group now. No be your job to know wet in dey happen for nija? No be MEND take credit for the Oct 1st bombings at eagle square. You need to keep up with history if you are going to be writing informed articles.
Hmm! Worded. MEND the ves!
If dey ar supportin pdp, dey wont b a violent group in dia eyes nw it apc n MEND av becom a violent group...mtchw
This is serious!!!! Niger Delta supporting a Northerner. Unity hs come to Nigeria. Jonathan hs really fallen out of favour with his pple

Whether Mend or Boko haram endorse or no endorse on GEJ we stand no amount of propaganda will stop him from being re-elected come next month, so I careless of what fools and terrorists are ranting!
Retarded SCUMS.
Season film
Old men has turned themselves to drama quees all cuz of power and money they won't leave this world with.
Political drama, next.....
Political drama, next.....
PDP is a very useless and selfish party. So they can now call MEND a violent group because of Buhari's endorsement. GEJ and his party are just heating up the polite unnecessarily. Why can't pdp and even gej show some level of maturity in handling issues? Imagine a whole president talking carelessly just to earn cheap political point. He just knew that Henry Okah was sent to assassinate him because MEND endorses gmb. What a shame!
GEJ you claim you went back on your word by running in 2015 because Niger Deltans persuaded you to. Sorry, the evidence is to the contrary. GEJ will lose in that region. No single part of the country has been improved apart from states which are interestingly not PDP held. GEJ = NO PROGRESS. Other oil rich regions in the world are thriving but go to Niger Delta and see poverty.
Abeg who hold cola? Cut for me mke I chew...
Jonathan and his thugs keep embezling Nigerian's money.They can't even mantain the Roads that Buhari and Babagita built.
U saw 2003, 2007 & 2011, I don't see how u making 2015 will mk any difference in Ur life, how abt DAT? Sum it up..GMB42015
PDP can't get the seat
Linda you support APC. Anyone with a brain cell reading your blog can see that.
Buaaaah ha ha #PDP ooh... Started from the bottom and they going back there...#NOtoPDP2015
Alryt **DOPEY SAID SO**
Alryt **DOPEY SAID SO**
Oga ..ow many times dd u write jamb??
Serious gobe.
Could this be the end road for G EJ
Linda, of course you support a party and it is no one's business who you support. You don't owe anyone any excuse and I understand you trying to be non partisan since your blog is open to everyone. A good strategy to keep the mula flowing
Linda its very obvious where u belong. Learn how 2 be neutral even in posts, u are public figure.
Ur write-up is saying something else, while we know exactly wat u mean.
Take NOte!! but I wouldn't take note!!
