BREAKING!!! MEND Sends Serious Warning to BuhariMOVEMENT for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has warned the Presidency against any attempt to rig the December 5, 2015, governorship election in Bayelsa State.
The group said any attempt to rig the election would re-awake “a sleeping dog.” It called on the United Nations and international community to be a witness, stressing that such act would be resisted.

MEND stated that it would dispatch 500 members to monitor the exercise, particularly in the creeks, declaring its support for Governor Seriake Dickson, who is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), assuring him of Ijaw backing.
In a statement issued yesterday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State by its Acting Chairman, Prince Amaibi Horby (aka General Busta Rhymes) and 12 others, the group said Dickson had performed well in executing people-oriented projects.

The statement reads: “We have endorsed Governor of Bayelsa State, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson for a second term as Bayelsans gear up for December 5, 2015 election. Dickson, over the years, has performed creditably in office as he has driven development to the hinterland.
“The Ijaw people are solidly behind him in this forthcoming election, and we will ask our members to monitor the election in the state, especially in the vast creeks of Bayelsa, where we are deep-rooted to avoid intimidation and possible rigging by the enemies of Ijawland and their Abuja collaborators.

“We wish to admonish President Muhammadu Buhari not to engage election riggers in the governorship election as such vicious and surreptitious antics shall not only be vehemently resisted, but may also lead to waking the sleeping dog from sleep.
“We call on the United Nations and, indeed, the international community to bear us witness as we are not unaware of the planned use of ‘federal might’ to intimidate the people of Bayelsa State in favour of their chosen candidate,” the group said.
MEND noted that the governor is a product of the Ijaw struggle for resource control and self-determination in the Niger Delta, before venturing into active politics, stating that he had contributed immensely to the socio-political and economic development of the Ijaw nation.
“We are mustering total support for him because he is a product of the Ijaw struggle for resource control and self-determination in the Niger Delta. So far, he has contributed immensely to the vast socio-political and economic development of the Ijaw nation,” the group said.

How Abubakar Audu Of Kogi APC Died, Vomited Blood Before His Death

The gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State, Abubakar Audu, who died on Sunday vomited blood before he gave up the ghost.

“I spoke with someone in late Prince Audu’s family.
“The person told me that the former governor repeatedly vomited blood.

“The family tried to rush him to the hospital but he died in the process.
“There is speculation of food poison or spiritual attack but no one can say for now.
“But his family confided in me that blood kept gushing out from his mouth.”
An autopsy is very unlikely as Audu would be buried within 24 hours according to Islamic rites.
