All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, retired General Muhammadu Buhari, has urged President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP to call to order, Niger Delta ex-militants who have threatened to  declare war if Jonathan loses the February 14 presidential election.

A statement by the APC campaign media and publicity director, Malam Garba Shehu, said the ultimatum by the ex-militants is not only a barbaric threat on the sovereignty of the country but also goes against the spirit and letter of the non-violence pact to which Jonathan is a signatory.
The campaign spokesperson observed that the declaration of war against the state is causing panic and concern among Nigerians who are already embattled by so many challenges particularly of insecurity, which have been begging for attention.
The Buhari campaign reminded Jonathan that as commander-in-chief it is his primary responsibility to ensure the protection of citizens and their property and that such an open declaration of war by the ex-militants and several other acts of violence need to be denounced by him in the interest of democracy, unity and stability of Nigeria.
