Ex-Militant Calls Buhari to Deliver Promise
The chairman of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Dreams of Niger Deltans, MADND, and former warlord of the defunct Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta, MEND, Josiah Oyakonghan (aka Oyimi), has called on Nigerians to continue to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to deliver on its promise of change.
He made the call during a press briefing, urging President Muhammadu Buhari to hand over power to former President Goodluck Ebere Jonathan in 2023.
The ex-militant commander said Jonathan, who Nigerians can trust with the multiplicity of our country’s problems.
He said, “First, our hearty congratulations to all Nigerians in this Easter, particularly to President Buhari. We, therefore, use this Easter celebration to urge Nigerians to continue to support President Buhari’s administration for him to deliver on the promise of change we are committed to seeing and also work for Jonathan to return to the Villa.”
“The challenges before us as a nation are enormous. Insecurity, the economy, unemployment and the unity of Nigeria have never been this bad, if not worse, in our national history. The solution to this is returning Jonathan for the presidency. Given that the people’s expectations are very high and expectedly so, we urge President Buhari to work for Jonathan’s candidacy who will salvage our country and reawaken a new hope for national cohesion and development.”
“Goodluck, Jonathan is a man of talent and experience, and at this moment, the country needs him, and we are lucky to have him. After the luck comes work, President Buhari should therefore support GEJ for president for a new dawn in our country. Virtually every facet of our national life needs urgent attention, and GEJ is the answer”, he noted.
