Ex militants in the Niger Delta yesterday urged the Northern political leaders to bury their ambition over 2015 presidential polls and instead support President Goodluck Jonathan to fulfill his developmental blueprint for the entire country.
.
They specifically called on the Nigerian voting public to be weary of those they term "expired leaders" who are masquerading as progressives.
.
The ex militants under the aegis of Third Phase Amnesty Camps Committee (TPACC) declared that the Northern leaders for now have no business eyeing Aso Rock. "They should wait until 2019 after Jonathan had completed his second term."
.
Speaking in Yenagoa at the end of their meeting, the chairman of the group, Preye John aka, Gbikigbiki said President Jonathan had done creditably well in spite of the security challenges caused by the Boko Haram insurgency and as such deserved a second tenure.
