There “ll be no crisis if Jonathan loses election – Niger Delta Youth assure

A group of ex-militants from the Niger-Delta region has assured that there will not be crisis if President Goodluck Jonathan loses in the forthcoming election.

The youth who spoke on the platform of Niger-Delta Coalition (NDC) and Delta Coalition for Change (DCC) also pledged their support to whoever wins the Presidential election, assuring that they would not join the bandwagon of war mongers who have issued threats of violence should Jonathan fail the elections.

They reminded their Ijaw brothers that “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

In a statement signed in Abuja on Monday by two leaders of the group Comrade Young Piero and Peters Asuluwa, the youth promised to ensure that peace would reign in the Niger-Delta region.

They also called on the political parties, their candidates and supporters to accept the outcome of the elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Parts of the statement read thus: “We are assuring Nigerians that there will be no bridge of peace in the Niger-Delta on or before the general election of on the 28th March and 11th of April, as we look forward to a free and fair election, the judiciary has clearly stated that the armed forces has no role in the general election, as such any attempt for military deployment to voting centers is a sabotage to our judiciary.

“We are standing on the part of justice for now that no one has the monopoly to carry out such threat against national security if the government of the day has the peace and sustainability of this great nation at heart.
