The Coalition of Niger Delta
Agitators on Sunday vowed that it would not support President Buhari if he
declared for a second term in office.
The group leader recalled that
some of the agitators expressed their support for Buhari during the 2015
election, but added that the challenges of the oil-rich region had not been
taken seriously.
He said, “We will not give him
support (for a second term). Even if we have given a group the mandate to
discuss on our behalf, we will not support his second term bid and that is the
truth.
“We will support a candidate that
will promote Niger Delta issues, a candidate that has the same understanding
and feeling like the late Umaru Yar’Adua had for the Niger Delta region. He
(Yar’adua) worked with us.
“But we don’t think the President
is interested in a second term because there are a lot of lapses in his first
term. We cannot score him (President Buhari) up to 40 per cent in terms of
performance.
“There are a lot of issues that
his government has not addressed. He is not strong enough to run for a second
term; that is how we see it. I don’t think he will declare for a second term,”
Duku said.
