Ex Niger Delta Militants Warns Against Deployment of Soldiers For Election

Ex Niger Delta Militants leaders have rejected any plan to redeploy soldiers for the forth coming elections. Also the various date March 28 and April 11 scheduled for the presidential and governorship election is not to be negotiated.
The Niger Delta ex-militants in a statement said: “We strongly insist that elections must hold on various dates as currently announced. We reject any further cancellation, postponement or re-scheduling.
“We inform that it is the failure to hold transparent, credible, free and fair elections on the scheduled dates that may lead to chaos, insecurity and problems in the Niger Delta’’.
‘‘Ex-militants’ leaders while issuing a 10-point declaration yesterday, said all processes leading to the elections must be “credible, free and fair”.
The statement was signed by 11 ex- Niger Delta militants, including Smart Amola (Warri South-West), Friday Edema (aka Ijagun 1),General Boni (Burutu LGA), Francis Muturu (aka Gen. Aboy), Alfred Aniretan (aka Field Marshal), and Sunday Amoma (aka Capone).
Others who were also part of the signing are Commander Peter Asule (aka Gen Atseluwa, Warri-South), Gen. King Jerry, Gen Saturday Emmanuel, Gen Isie Ologbo, and Commander Mike Edesemi (aka Gen Blackman).
The group insisted that Prof. Attahiru Jega and INEC must be “truly” independent and allowed to conduct the elections without intimidations which may come from the federal government or the Nigeria Army.
The ex militants reiterate that redeployment of soldiers with a likelihood of intimidation or harassment of indigenes during or after the elections will lead to a breakage in the law and order of the state.

  1. Deployment does not mean soldiers are going to harass or molest indigenes of the state rather for they are to protection the image of God..
