A group
in the Niger Delta , Niger Delta Progressive Alliance (NPA) yesterday
threatened that the region will consider seceeding from Nigeria if President
Jonathan is barred by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from contesting the
2015 election on its platform.
Rising from a meeting, the group in a Communiqué entitled,
‘2015: Time to bid Nigeria farewell’, said the condition given by seven PDP
governors that Jonathan should not contest in 2015 as a ground for the restoration of peace to
PDP was insulting and humiliating.
The
Communiqué jointly signed by Deacon Angoneme Fedude and Nsikak Ebong,
president and general secretary respectively argued that the move to stop
Jonathan from re-contesting the top office was being conceived because the
president is from the South-South.
The
group said: “President Goodluck Jonathan must be allowed to exercise his
constitutionally guaranteed right of seeking a second term in the 2015
elections. But in the event of any attempt by any individual or group to
deprive him of his democratic rights, we have resolved to match force for
force, even if it will lead to Nigeria’s disintegration.”
Condemning
political developments in the last couple of days, NPA said it had
“monitored, with deep concern, the trend of events in the country, particularly
the various efforts at truncating the administration of President Jonathan.
“While
we had opted to remain on the sidelines and watched the plot against Jonathan
as it unfolded right from the period he assumed the mantle of leadership as
acting president, we view the recent move by a group of northern governors,
self-acclaimed political leaders and elders, led by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to
illegally stop Dr. Jonathan from contesting the 2015 presidential elections as
the highest threat to the continued existence of the minorities of the
South-South region in Nigeria as a political entity

ReplyDeleteThe US predicted this,and the northerners are trying to actualise it,the first said they are going to make the country ungovernable,and the lived it with boko haram,
ReplyDeleteNow the are skimming to stop Jonathan from contesting,cos the are born to rule,
This time we will show them that the wasted 38yrs of Nigeria 52yrs of independence deserves apology to other tribes and region instead the are making noise.We will see who looses at the end of the day.
Niger Delta pple so hate them selves ,There will be more inter tribal wars in south south if they dare disunite.
ReplyDeleteRobish, do you think secession is an easy adventure? Nigerians are aware that Jonathan is training you for such purpose. Just be prepared because will not come back as president in 2015.
ReplyDeleteWhich part of nigeria constitution says, niger delta will break away, if jonathan is not elected or contest? I think is u and your family that will break away from nigeria, after collecting , u choose for a state and individual how or who to lead them. Wake up nigerians when will we do the right thing in that nation.

ReplyDeleteIdlers, good for nothing ppls that thinks of secession. Let's microphone it that your boss 'GEJ and U, as his team aid, are Boko Haram' and we expatriate him from d highest position of our country that he doesn't deserve come 2015 poll
ReplyDeleteTotal bullshit! Arrant nonsense!! If Ʊ guys want to leave, please leave. The Niger-Delta cannot hold Nigeria to ransom over Jonathan's re-election. I personally don't want GEJ, he is nothing but a puppet dancing to the tune of higher powers.I can bet 100% that if the 2015 presidential election is not rigged, GEJ won't get another whiff of Aso Rock.
ReplyDeleteViolence brings no postive result,S o all will need is application of wisdom & 2 follow it up with prayers.
ReplyDeleteℓ̶̲̥̲̣̣̣̥̊̅̊ enploir all of any religion 2 commit dis country Nigeria unto God's hand mostly our clergy men.
