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."
