MEND Congratulates Buhari

THE Movement for the Emancipation of the
Niger Delta, MEND, has commended the President-
elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) on his
victory in the 2015 presidential elections, saying
Nigerians made the right choice.
The group in a statement by its spokesperson,
Jomo Gbomo, said, “The Nigerian people have
spoken and elected General Mohammadu Buhari to
be the next President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria,” adding, “In doing so, we have not only
made the right choice of a new leadership, we have
also reaffirmed the strength of our democracy.”
“President-elect, General Mohammadu Buhari’s
message of hope, freedom and opportunity
resonates with our group, as it does with the
Nigerian people.
In these difficult times, with the economic crisis
and security challenges, we are confident that
under your leadership, Nigeria will once again
regain its peace and unity,” the group asserted.
MEND also lauded President Goodluck Jonathan
for his outstanding show of statesmanship “in
conceding defeat and setting precedence as the
first ever incumbent Nigerian President to be
defeated and concede defeat, without any
interference.”
