Conspiracy against Jonathan must be addressed before May 29 – Niger Delta Group

A Niger-Delta pressure group, the South-South Voice, has bemoaned the way and manner which the North and the West aborted the second term ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan, warning that the nation may face another round of crisis unless issues relating to the alleged conspiracy against the people of the South-South is addressed.

The group, in a letter signed by its National Coordinator, Mr. Victor Tamarapreye and addressed to President Jonathan, claimed that President Goodluck Jonathan was manipulated out of the contest, hence it will be unjust to hand over power to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari “who is a beneficiary of the Hausa, Yoruba conspiracy”.

The letter reads, “We the under signed for and on behalf of numerous concerned people of the South South geo-political region of Nigeria, wish to inform you that, we are not happy with the way and manner the election was conducted and it will be wrong to hand over power to the wrong person.

“The election was rigged massively to favour Gen.Buhari and we will not accept such result. Even though we are heading to court but we want to warn first so that Nigerians will understand where the trouble is coming from when it commences.

“Secondly, You Mr President was coaxed and intimidated to accept the outcome of the election by the International Community and the so called peace makers Committee in Nigeria.

“There was a gang-up against you from the Northern part of Nigeria irrespective of party line, as well as the issue of under-age voters which we all saw in several northern states. You have performed more than any Nigerian president has ever produced in your first term in office,” the pressure group stated.
