Stop Blackmailing GEJ --Group Tell Buhari

Posted By Trace Reporter on 22 August 2016

A Group has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari"s attempt to set former President Jonathan as sponsor of Niger Delta Avengers
 The Group known as Movement for Genuine Democracy in Nigeria, MGDN, noted with
dismay that there is a comical attempt to set up former President Jonathan
as the sponsor of the Niger Delta Avengers.

The movement said in a statement made available to newsmen in Kaduna that
it had reached a pitch recently with 'Presidency sources' giving reasons
for this wrong footed theory that bothers on the absurd at best and
amateurish at worse.

 The statement signed by the chairman and secretary, Mr Jonah Ishaku and
Shuaibu Lawal said, "Who in his right mind would waste time before denying
an obviously fabricated story? Does it make sense to use Dr. Jonathan's
denial as the desperate proof to nail him as sponsor of NDA?

 "And how preposterous can these intelligent report be? Citing the fact
that the former president used his influence to sue for peace as a smoking
gun! This can only come from an unintelligent intelligence agency.

 "What a pity that in less than an 18 months an administration that
inherited a democracy has turned Nigeria into a police state.

 "What a pity that a government that inherited the fourth fastest growing
economy in the world has only bequeathed to us an economy in recession.

 "Polio that had vanished is now back with us. Starvation is now the order
of the day in the North which is meant to be the food basket of the nation.

 " Pilgrims are getting concessionary dollar rates while legitimate
businesses cannot access foreign exchange and our government is unable to
pad our roads though they can pad their budget.

 "Rather than fix these, they are grasping at straws in their desperation
to find a scape goat for their non performance.

"They claimed that South South Governors at a meeting in Aso Rock
fingered Jonathan yer the South South governors have openly and directly
denied the allegations and one of them pronounced a curse on the faceless
people feeding this lazy journalists these tales by moonlight.

 "We call on all peace loving Nigerians to hold this administration
responsible should anything happen to Dr. Goodluck Jonathan who is fast
emerging as the face of democracy in Africa.

 "We further call on the Buhari administration to face the onerous task of
governing Nigeria and stop testing the waters by planting stories whose
sole purpose is to distract Nigerians from the appalling state of affairs
in their nation in the last year."
