The Movement of the Emancipation of Niger Delta, MEND, has threatened to
resume militant activities if members of the National Assembly receive
any outrageous allowances. Spokesman of the group Jomo Gbomo said this
while speaking to newsmen yesterday June 21st.
“These wicked individuals appropriate to themselves huge and absurd
salaries and allowances at the expense of the millions of hapless
Nigerians, who have not been paid for months, their salaries, pensions
and other benefits they deserve.
The Niger Delta region, where the bulk of revenue that sustains the
nation comes from, continues to suffer neglect, environmental
degradation and lack, made worse by the very corrupt and visionless past
government of Goodluck Jonathan and his cronies, some of who still
shamelessly parade themselves on national television and other media
platforms as ‘Niger Delta Activists’.
Nigerians refuse to tolerate this ostentatious lifestyle of our
lawmakers, whose main objective, it seems, is to enrich themselves and
carelessly spend scarce resources. The Niger Delta people refuse to
pamper and cater for the needs of these thieving Assembly rogues to
their detriment. If the lawmakers refuse to make the necessary
adjustments needed to accompany the needs of the masses and the Niger
Delta region, it may lead to the resumption of hostilities.”he said
