Again,
a group of militants, under the aegis of Mangrove Boys of Bayelsa, has
warned the wife of the President, Patience Jonathan, to steer clear of
presidential campaign rally in Bayelsa State on Friday (today).
The group also warned the First Lady
against any plot to connive with the Transformation Ambassadors of
Nigeria to embarrass Governor Seriake Dickson at the rally of the
Peoples Democratic Party in Yenagoa.
As a soft-landing for Patience, the
unrepentant militants said since she insisted on attending the rally,
she should set aside all her plans with TAN to disgrace Dickson or she
would be thoroughly disgraced.
The
group, in a statement entitled, “Final Warning to Mrs. Jonathan,” said
its members had been fully mobilised to publicly disgrace the
President’s wife and her husband if their loyalists made any cynical
move against the governor.
In the statement signed by the President
of the Executive Council, MBB, Mr. Opuyo Engobare, the group described
itself as “dreaded” and warned Patience against undermining the
integrity of its members.
The group said they would visit Dickson
with their wrath if he tried to use his position as the chief security
officer of the state to stop its members.
The MBB had a few weeks ago threatened
to disgrace Mrs. Jonathan if she accompanied her husband to the rally.
Two days after, another group, Bayelsa Youth Vanguard, issued a similar
warning.
Worried by the development, the Aso Rock
Villa decided to flood the campaign venue, Samson Siasia Sports
Complex, and its environs, with security operatives including the
deployment of 500 specially trained Presidential guards and 500 crack
team of the Department of State Service.
But the group said its members would not be deterred by such massive security deployments.
The MBB said, “We remain resolute in our
statement and actions, and as such, we have completed the mobilisation
of our determined youths who are ready to face any security hurdles at
the rally.”
