Nigerias President Goodluck Jonathans re-election is Non Negotiable - Niger Delta Militant Group

Formal Nigerian Niger Delta militant groups has publicly declared that the re-election of the incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan as president in the countrys February general election was not negotiable.

The ex-militants' leaders who spoke when they met with the Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson on Friday at the Banquet Hall of Government House in Yenagoa, insisted that the re-election of Jonathan was not negotiable.

The Naija Date360 reporter has it that While addressing the audience, one of the commanders, who is better known as Boyloaf , decried the attack on the President in some northern states, warning that nobody or group had the monopoly of violence.

Despite the recent daily fall in barrels  of oil price coupled with the devalation of the naira and Nigeras internal struggle to combat attacks by the countrys known Boko Haram terror group,emphasis seems to have been totally diverted to the general elections with each political party proving its candidates as best to rule while the country is currently going through a period of depression.

His words, "For every Goliath, God created a David; for every Pharoah, there is a Moses. We are going to war. Every one of you should go and fortify yourself."

Dokubo-Asari, who declared that Jonathan will be re-elected, condemned the attack on him in the core North, stressing that the survival of the Ijaw nation rested in the hands of the militants who were gathered at the meeting.

Governor Dickson, while addressing his guest, called on them and their estimated 30,000 foot soldiers as well as the Ijaw nation to be united in their support for the re-election of President Jonathan. He posited that the time had come for all stakeholders and interest groups in the Niger Delta, particularly, the Ijaw nation, to pool their resources and work in one accord to ensure the President's victory on February

Beforenow, the Niger delta militant group had in the past been known for threats of this nature but these recent threat seems to be real.
