The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND has insisted that Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC is its choice for President come February 14, elections; PUNCH reports.
A statement issued by MEND on Monday in response to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP's response to its endorsement of Buhari read, ''The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta views the recent question and statement credited to the Peoples Democratic Party National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, as very callous and irresponsible.
''This question: ''Explain your connections with MEND'', further confirms and vindicates our views about Goodluck Jonathan, his inept government and the PDP.”

''MEND strongly denies any link with the All Progressives Congress and has never been approached for anything, at any point in time, by the party, as pettily alleged by Olisa Metuh.
''The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta stands strongly by our endorsement and full support of General Muhammadu Buhari as the man to lead the country out of its present calamitous state in the hands of Goodluck Jonathan.
''MEND finds it laughable the recent statement by Mr. Eric Omare, the Publicity Secretary of a mere tribal assembly and political praise singers, known as the Ijaw Youth Council, stating that ‘MEND is a ghost’. We clearly understand their frustrations at our stance as it obviously came as a shock to them.

''Nigerians should ask this man (Eric Omare) if he was referring to ‘ghosts’ when he lauded MEND for declaring a temporary ceasefire six months ago.”
''The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, once more, urges Nigerians to ignore the empty threats of this so-called ‘ex-agitators’ and the Ijaw Youth Council. Their reckless utterances only ridicule and confirm the colossal failure of the Amnesty Programme.
''We advise the Ijaw Youth Council to use their idle time in telling and showing Nigerians and Niger Deltans what the government of Goodluck Jonathan has done or achieved in Nigeria and the region in the last six years in office, apart from giving them handouts called monthly stipends.
“If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.”
