The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, has launched a verbal attack and a series of accusation at ex President Goodluck Jonathan.
In a statement released on Tuesday by its spokesman Jomo Gbomo, MEND said Jonathan is sponsoring the crisis in the Niger Delta to scuttle the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, as alleged earlier by another militant group.
“….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.” the statement said, and then proceeded to lambaste the ex President.
“For six whole years, Mr. Jonathan was busy drinking, making merry and generally chasing shadows at the State House. Such a fellow deserves to be ostracised from the assembly of reasonable men; because the Nigerian Presidency might never come back to the Niger Delta region as cheap as it came to Mr. Jonathan; perhaps, in the next 100 years.
On Jonathan’s claim that the group wants to assassinate him, MEND said Jonathan is still suffering from an assassination paranoia complex.
