According to recent reports,the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the February 14 presidential election, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari has been called upon to publicly reject his endorsement by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND so as not to send wrong signal to the world, saying MEND has no good agenda for the well-being of the masses in the country.
The NDF President, Comrade Philip Agbese, in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, said such endorsement, coming at a time when the whole world was united in condemning and fighting terror groups have the potential of painting Nigeria as a country that engages in sponsorship of terrorism.
“It is worrisome that the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) came out to openly endorse Buhari and he did not distance himself from them within minutes.
“Even if he wants to claim not to give any credence to the action of the group, which ordinarily should not be in existence anymore, the stridency with which MEND continues to market the said endorsement is enough incentive for the APC candidate to repudiate their offer of support.”
“This is a group whose existing members, who did not embrace the federal government offer of amnesty, should be on trial for crimes against the country.
“This silence must have perhaps emboldened other hideous groups like the evil Boko Haram that have been reported to have also endorsed Buhari’s candidacy.
“This is yet another source for worries given the fact that Buhari’s previous utterances like ‘baboons bathing in their own blood’ are suspected to have been a launch pad for the ferocious intensity that the Boko Haram insurgency has taken on,” NDF added.
According to the group, Saturday’s attack on campaign buses of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan by some thugs in Jos, Plateau State, was an indication of the kind of atmosphere of terror that can be unleashed on the nation.
The group advised Buhari to heed the quality counsel given by his opponent and immediately distance himself from these questionable groups and focus on issue based campaign.
