MEND Regroups in Bayelsa, Read Their Discussion
Leader of the defunct Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger-Delta,
MEND and High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, aka Tompolo, yesterday,
summoned commanders and leaders of the various wings of the militant
group to an emergency meeting, tomorrow in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
He did not state agenda of the meeting, but Tompolo, who is the
Ibe-Ebidouwei of Ijaw nation, in the invitation, said the meeting, which
will hold at Izon House, Yenagoa, was important.
His words, “My dearly beloved Commanders and Leaders of various wings
of the Movement of the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, I greet
you all. It is my pleasure to humbly invite you to a very crucial and
urgent meeting.”
A source told Vanguard, “The place of the Niger Delta in the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and appraisal of the former
President Goodluck Jonathan government in view of the current
happenings in the country will be tabled for discussion at the meeting.
The meeting is restricted only to those invited, it is not an all comers
meeting, we will make our position known after the meeting.”
Tompolo and other ex-militant leaders officially disbanded MEND after
they accepted amnesty offered them by the administration of former
President Umaru Yar’Adua in 2009.
But, a faction of MEND, which did not accept amnesty continued to
operate the militant group and stated their disapproval of Jonathan
government, but it was obvious that the moving forces behind the group
had abandoned it.
Tomorrow’s meeting is the first time all the former commanders and
leaders of the militant group are meeting formally since it was
disbanded in 2009.
