Former Niger Delta agitators under the aegis of National Assembly of ex-Militants, NAE, have vowed to “sack” President Muhammadu Buhari with their Permanent Voters Card, PVCs, come 2019.
The former agitators said Nigerians can’t afford another four years of Buhari’s “poverty ridden administration.”
A statement by the Acting National Coordinator of the group, Ibifuro Pureheart insisted that Nigerians “would all die,” should Buhari secures a second term.
The former agitators declared that they have withdrawn their support for Buhari.
According to the statement, “Buhari’s alleged pursuit of ethnic agenda had left Niger Delta youths poorer than he met them, whereas the President focused more on developing northern youths at the detriment of their counterparts in the Niger Delta region.
“The Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, was left in the hands of the members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party to polarise the youth of the All Progressives Congress in the region. The President has shown enough disdain for those who worked for him while patronising his political enemies.
“We cannot afford another four years of Buhari’s poverty ridden regime or else we would all die. The poverty being spread currently brings hopelessness and death upon fellow citizens. It is time we tell Nigerians the truth. Even though the President had our support, we are now calling on the people of the region to chart a new course.
“Buhari has disappointed us, we spent our fortunes to bring him to power, we invested our psyche and emotions yet, we have nothing to show for it. With our PVC, we are ready to sack him in 2019.
“Power resides in the citizens and we shall sustain the campaign to boot Buhari out of office in 2019. He’s a huge failure and it is time to bring a more trustworthy leader on board.”
