We’ll retaliate Jonathan’s convoy attack in Katsina – IYC

Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide has vowed to retaliate the attack on the
convoy of President Goodluck Jonathan by supposed supporters of the
candidate for the All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu Buhari, during
his campaign in Katsina State.
The IYC in a statement on Thursday by its spokesperson, Eric Omare,
while condemning the attack said it had clearly shown the
violent-prone and irresponsible nature of some of Buhari's supporters.
It also recalled the burning of the campaign buses of President
Jonathan by supporters of Buhari in Jos, Plateau State, last week.
IYC said, "We express our disappointment in Buhari for instigating his
supporters to attack President Jonathan's convoy in his home state of
Katsina. Buhari has clearly breached the Abuja Accord and demonstrated
his violent nature.
" It will be recalled that when Buhari came to the South-South to
campaign, especially in Bayelsa State, Jonathan specifically
instructed that everything should be done to ensure that Buhari's
campaign was not disrupted in any way in the zone.
"Hence, the IYC made several radio announcements and set up a team at
the Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa, to ensure that the campaign was
trouble-free.
"Now that Buhari's supporters with his knowledge have decided to carry
out consistent attacks on President Jonathan and his supporters, we
wish to state clearly that we shall retaliate."
The IYC called on Jonathan's supporters all over the country to be
ready to defend and retaliate any attack on them by Buhari's
supporters.
It said the experience of 2011 where several supporters of President
Jonathan were killed without provocation must not be allowed to repeat
itself.
The group claimed that Buhari was preparing the ground for the
fulfilment of his promise that the "blood of the baboons and monkeys"
would flow in anticipation of his impending defeat on February 14,
2015 presidential election.
"We are ready and will give an eye for an eye this time around," the
IYC boasted.
