BY JIMITOTA ONOYUME

PORT HARCOURT— EX- militant commanders in the Niger Delta have vowed to resist any move to deny President Goodluck Jonathan his constitutional second term in office.

In a statement under the aegis of Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiative, the ex-militant leaders said they would apply all lawful means to stop those scheming to rob President Jonathan of a second term in office.

The statement, by president of the group, ‘General’ Reuben Wilson and others, said those behind the formation of a factional Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, were scheming to stop the second term bid of President Jonathan.
