A militant group, Niger Delta Liberation Movement (NDLM), has vowed to ensure the emergence of the All Progresives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on February 25.

The agitators, rising from a crucial meeting at Egbema, Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State, said they are working to mobilise millions of ex-agitators, including members of the defunct Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) to cast their votes for the APC flagbearer.

Addressing newsmen at the end of the meeting, the group’s spokesperson, Commander Amabiri Andabiri said the group with over “one million registered members of Niger Delta youths,” hereby endorse Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for president come Feburary 25th Presidential election.

“We are the most dreaded militant group in Niger Delta, the watchdog of the Niger Delta. After the amnesty in the year 2009, when the defunct Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) and other ex-militant group abandoned the cause of Niger Delta and accepted the fallacious amnesty programme, this group remained on ground, safeguarding the length and breadth of the Niger Delta region.

“Today, we met and agreed to mobilise everything within our power to see Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerge as the President of the Federal republic of Nigeria come February 25th election. This is because Asiwaju is not like other political gladiators that go into hiding in other countries after failing elections.

“If you look at the content of all the presidential candidates and their antecedents, non of them are living in the place they have governed except Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who was two time Governor of Lagos state.

“But Tinubu has been the brain behind the emergence of the governors fron Fashola to Ambode to Sanwo-olu and he has been supporting them to make sure Lagos state become what it is today. And he will replicate that into the country when he emerges

“Tinubu is Niger Delta inlaw from Ayakoromor Community in Delta state. Apart from the fact that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu married an Itsekiri woman, his elder brother is also married to an Ijaw woman from Ayakoromor in Delta state. Even Asiwaju’s son, Seyi Tinubu, married to an Igbo woman in South East.

“So these are our people because by marriage we are brothers and sisters; and with the capacity and people around Tinubu, we are convinced that he will be a good president.

“Therefore, we are pulling our weight behind Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and we will not hesitate to clear any obstacle that will hinder the victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Feburary 25th presidential election.

“We will also mobilize millions of supporters to vote for him because this group is in talk with Ex-MEND and other top militant groups to come together to work for the victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.
