REACTING to the criticism of its endorsement of the All Progressives Congress candidate, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for the presidency in the 2015 elections, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta has insisted that Buhari is the best candidate in the race.

MEND, the umbrella body for militancy in the oil-rich Niger-Delta, said it would support the APC candidate.

Candidate of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, President Goodluck Jonathan, an Ijaw man from Bayelsa State, is also from the Niger Delta.

MEND had on Wednesday declared that it would support Buhari for the presidency, alleging that Jonathan had not performed up to the expectations of Nigerians, a position that did not go down well with the PDP and the Ijaw Youth Council.

Why the PDP, through its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, queried APCs link with MEND, the IYC through its Publicity Secretary, Eric Omare, reportedly described MEND as a ghost.

Jonathan, at the commencement of his campaign in Lagos on Thursday, also said he did not expect the groups support because some people procured MEND in 2010 to assassinate me and that the leader of the group, Henry Okah, is in jail in South Africa.

But MEND, in an electronic statement by its famous spokesperson, Jomo Gbomo, on Thursday, described Metuhs position on its support for Buhari as callous and irresponsible.

The reaction of the PDP, the Niger Delta militant group explained, further confirmed its views about President Jonathans alleged inept government.

The statement 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.

Lai Mohammed

The All Progressives Congress has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to stop bemoaning the widening ethno-religious gap among Nigerians, saying the President was Nigerias most divisive leader.

The opposition party said that the citizens were today more divided along religions and ethnic lines than ever before.

The party said this in reaction to comments by Jonathan, at a meeting with members of the Northern Elders Council in Abuja, that some of our elder statesmen had been making inciting and divisive statements capable of polarising Nigerians along ethnic and religious lines.

The APCs reaction was contained in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in Abuja on Thursday.

Part of the statement read, Mr. President, there is no point being sanctimonious about an issue for which you bear the most responsibility.

You are the most divisive leader in the history of Nigeria, having ceaselessly exploited the countrys fault lines for political gains.

Where was President Jonathan when his spokespersons and party members sought to portray all adherents of a particular faith as terrorists?

The APC said Jonathan was the countrys first leader to turn the house of worship to a political arena, using the pulpit to make political and policy statements and making a show of what should ordinarily be a very personal religious affair.

It added that the Presidents belated lamentation is aimed at pulling the wool over the eyes of Nigerians with a view to extracting undeserved political gains, especially a few weeks before next months elections.

Ayo Fayose

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has described the dismissal of the 180 employees of the Ekiti State House of Assembly and permanent secretaries as part of the executive rascality of Governor Ayodele Fayose.

The party said it was an evidence of the definition of stomach infrastructure espoused by the governors deceptive administration to dehumanise and celebrate poverty in Ekiti State.

In a statement issued on Thursday in Ado-Ekiti, the state Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said with the dismissal of the employees by the leader of the seven Peoples Democratic Partys lawmakers, Dele Olugbemi, it was becoming clearer that Fayose was not a friend of the workers.

Olatubosun maintained that the affected workers were duly employed by the House of Assembly Service Commission, with statutory approval since April, 2014 with their conditions of service clearly stated. He wondered why such workers could be summarily sacked through an announcement immediately after the New Year interdenominational service without following the civil service rules.

He added that Olugbemi did not have such power to sack employees of the commission, even if he were to be the authentic Speaker of the House of Assembly.

He said, This is a legislative rascality which is a corollary of executive rascality and recklessness by the Fayose administration.

How can someone with genuine love of his people behave in a manner suggestive that he is an enemy of the people he professes to love?

But in its reaction, the PDP asked the APCs leadership to cover their faces in shame for defending irregular employment made by their government.

The state Secretary of the PDP, Dr. Tope Aluko, in a statement on Thursday, said the affected employees were without appointment letters.
