Former militants in the Niger Delta region have said they will
do everything to ensure that President Goodluck Jonathan completes his
second term in 2019.
In a statement issued in Port Harcourt and signed by the national president of Leadership, Peace, and Cultural Development Initiative (LPCDI), General Reuben Wilson and three others, said: "As former freedom fighters in the Niger Delta, we are aware that oil production figures have risen appreciably because we accepted the amnesty agenda of the administration in which Mr President was a key player in his capacity as vice president at that time, and now as president."
"Because oil revenues have
appreciated, all sections of the country have got some good revenue for their states. Unfortunately, these funds are being used for deadly and selfish political fights that are not in the best interest of the country."
Accusing members of the new PDP of working against the interest of the Nigerian masses, the former militants said, “The gladiators are all out to smear the character and person of Mr president and ensure that he does not enjoy a re-election in 2015 so that they can take charge and continue to enslave us as was the case for decades.
"We will not fold our arms and watch a section of the country which believes that it is their birthright to rule Nigeria to chase Mr President out of office. If their argument is that he is not performing, it would have been understood."
