- Ex militants threaten to disconnect supply of petroleum products to the Northern part of Nigeria if Jonathan is not re-elected
Ex-militants in the Niger-Delta, who happily denounced Militancy have spoken out of anger. The ex-militants have threatened to disconnect the supply of petroleum products to the Northern part of Nigeria if the Northerners oppose the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan as President in 2015.
They held their meeting in Oron, Akwa Ibom State, where they also declared that they won't allow the North to benefit from crude oil proceedings generated from the Niger Delta.
Mr. Reuben Wilson, who is the President of the group, said that their concern is to ensure Jonathan returns to office in 2015 and declared anybody that opposes this mission an enemy.
Mr Wilson said:
“We met in Oron to review developments in the country, particularly the interest of the Niger Delta people. You will agree that the Niger Delta is the main stay of the nation’s economy. You will also agree with me that the Niger Delta people are sustaining the economy at great inconveniences and pains to its people and the environment. This has been the only time that the region has had the privilege of producing a president for the country.
“It is unthinkable that the North will be plotting against our son, intimidating him with bomb blasts here and there and causing the untimely death of scores of innocent Nigerians, all because they want to take back power.
“We have always seen the need for us to live together as one indivisible country and that is what Mr. President believes in.”
