National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators, (NCNDE-A), under the
leadership of Eshanekpe Israel, has said it would not support President
Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
The group said the president has disappointed them and the entire Niger Delta.
According
to the group, the president has shown enough disdain for the youths and
ex-militants under the aegis of the NCNDE-A, noting that the group
worked tirelessly to install Buhari with the promise to better the lots
of members of the group in patronage and develop the Niger Delta for
growth and empowerment of the youths from the region.
“Rather
than reward hard work and loyalty to him by members and leaders of the
NCNDE-A, President Buhari, engaged in selective patronage, along tribal
lines,” he said.
He added that the coalition is discussing with
“a better and more reliable candidate for the 2019 presidential
election,” reiterating that it is “fed up with a government that lacks
vision and purposeful leadership.
