Jonathan, Don't Handover To Buhari, There Was Conspiracy – Niger Delta Group

It is not easy to accept a big defeat lying low in Nigeria, you will want to try some nonsense until you reach a dead end and the international criminal court of justice, ICC, put you where you belong - jail.

The South South Voice, a group in the Niger Delta, has described as unacceptable the alleged gang up of the North and the West to end the second term ambition of their brother, Goodluck Jonathan and warned that the nation may face another round of crisis unless issues relating to alleged conspiracy against the people of the South South is addressed.

In a letter addressed to President Jonathan, signed by its National Coordinator, Mr Victor Tamarapreye and Michael Akpodore, it alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan was manipulated out of the contest therefore it will be unjust to hand over power to General Muhammadu Buhari.

They claim that Buhari "is a beneficiary of the Hausa,Yoruba conspiracy."

According to the letter "We the under signed for and on behalf of numerous concerned people of the South South geo-political region of Nigeria, wish to inform you that, we are not happy with the way and manner the election was conducted and it will be wrong to hand over power to the wrong person.

“The election was rigged massively to favour Gen. Buhari and we will not accept such result. Even though we are heading to court but we want to warn first so that Nigerians will understand where the trouble is coming from when it commences.

“Secondly, You Mr President was coaxed and intimidated to accept the outcome of the election by the International Community and the so called peace makers Committee in Nigeria.

“There was a gang-up against you from the Northern part of Nigeria irrespective of party line, as well as the issue of under-age voters which we all saw in several northern states. You have performed more than any Nigerian president has ever produced in your first term in office.”

But who were those who conspired when Jonathan won the same election in 2011?
