Asari Dokubo, the former militant who
promised to unleash violence on the country if the incumbent President
Goodluck Jonathan failed in election, has issued a new threat.
He promised to return “to the creeks” and blamed the Yoruba and Hausa for working against Igbo and Niger Deltans.
Dokubo
said the election of General Muhammadu Buhari as president “is a clear
indication that the country is not united” and blamed the Yoruba and
Hausa for cooperating to frustrate Jonathan, who applauds from the Niger
Delta region.
In a comment realesed by his spokesperson Rex
Ekiugbo Anighoro, Dokubo saud: “Nigerian union clearly reinforces the
fact of self determination and that Nigeria remains a very divided and
separated entity whose claim to unity remains a fraud of gargantuan
proportion.
“The celebrated victory of Buhari is not the victory
of the people but victory of regional conspiracy and supremacy. The
voting Partern has clearly shown that the Gambari North and the Yorubas
are United in the conquest of the Niger Deltans and the Igbos of defunct
Biafra with the middle belt now used as pawns.
“The victory of
Muhammadu Buhari is a historical reminder that we are a conquered people
who are mere appendages existing at the pleasure of the supremacist and
the regional overlords.
“We remain a people separated by our ideologies and interests, we are not integrated nor reconciled.”
Former
militant supposed that the elect administration could endeavor to
sabotage the interest of the Niger Delta and called for a return to the
creeks.
He added: “The conditions that advanced the need to
embrace the creeks have been sadly re energised, it is clear that a
vicious government who may maim and murder the voice of the so called
minorities may have just been birthed. Indeed integration is nonexistent
as regional gang ups and supremacy is symbolic with this victory.
“While
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan enjoys his moments and bask in the
euphoria of a now world renowned statesman having congratulated
Muhammadu Buhari his conqueror, we must quickly remind that our struggle
was never about Jonathan nor about presidency.
“President
Goodluck Jonathan was an establishment beneficiary of our struggle, our
sweat and blood that many bled and died for, he was never in the
struggle and he can never wish away our collective march forward for
statesmanship. Yes Indeed to an extent he was a mitigating factor in
self determination pursuit as we went on sabbatical, this mitigation he
seem to have willingly repudiated.
“The days coming will be
critical, we shall study all the conditions and consult widely before
determining the way going forward for our collective existence and
survival as a people. The days coming shall either drive the quest of
integration or further separate us.”
It should be noted that the
fake tweet circulated yesterday on the media. It stated that Asari
Dokubo acclaimed President Jonathan and said he is a friend to any
government, but later former militant denied the such news, saying that
he would stay loyal to Jonathan.
