The groups, Niger-Delta Coalition (NDC) and Delta Coalition for Change (DCC) in a statement issued in Abuja yesterday, jointly signed by Comrade Young Piero and Peter Asuluwa said no one in Niger-Delta has the right to threaten the nation’s national security.
The statement by the groups was in reaction to the threat issued by the leader of the Niger Delta Volunteer Force, Asari Dokubo, and others that they will react violently if Jonathan is not re-elected for second term.
The statement stated that the people issuing the threat should know that nobody in the region has justification to cause violence if President Goodluck Jonathan is not re-elected.
“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.
They assured Nigerians that there will be no breach of peace in the Niger-Delta on or before the general election of 28th March and 11th of April, saying Nigerians are only looking forward to a free and fair election.
On the use of military in the elections, the groups said 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 centres is a breach of constitutional provision and flouting the orders of the nation’s judiciary.
