\u00a0WARRI-FORMER Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta, MEND \u2018General,\u2019 Mr. Oyakoghan Josiah, has advised Chief Great Ogboru of the Democratic Peoples Party, DPP and other opposition parties in Delta State to concede defeat, congratulate Governor Emmenuel Uduaghan and stop all court action against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP standard bearer.<\/p>\n

Oyakoghan also warned \u201cunknown modern day militants\u201d against engaging in any act of pipeline vandalism in the creeks in the name of fighting for alleged political injustice, saying, \u201cthe election in the state was keenly contested and a winner emerged. There is time for everything, it is now time to join hands with the winner to develop and move the state forward instead of the unnecessary distraction being engaged in by bad losers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Briefing newsmen in Warri, yesterday, Josiah said that the much needed development cannot be achieved by distracting the governor. He advised losers to go back to the drawing board and strategise for 2015, assuring that Uduaghan has performed and will definitely consolidate on his achievements for the benefit of all Deltans.<\/p>\n

He warned self-styled militants, who vowed to burst pipelines to desist from the act, as Uduaghan might also have supporters, who can also vandalize pipelines in protest of anything that might upturn his well deserved victory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
