Ex Niger Delta militant, Asari Dokubo
says the emergence of Gen Buhari as
the President of Nigeria in last
Saturday's presidential election may
signify the birth of a vicious government
which may ma
im and murder the voice
of the minority ethnic groups in Nigeria.
Asari expressed his fears in a statement
released by his spokesperson, Rex
Anigoro yesterday April 1st.
"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 non-existent as
regional gang-ups and
supremacy is symbolic with this
victory" the statement read.
According to Asari, the fight of the Niger
Delta militants was never about
Jonathan, although it resulted in the
birth of his administration. Asari said the
coming days will determine the next
line of action for the militants
"While President Jonathan
enjoys his moments and basks in
the euphoria of a new world-
renowned statesman having
congratulated Muhammadu
Buhari, we must quickly be
reminded that our struggle was
never about Jonathan or about
the presidency. President
Jonathan is 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
for statesmanship. Yes indeed,
to an extent, he was a mitigating
factor in self-determination
pursuit as we went on
sabbatical. This mitigation he
seems to have willingly
repudiated. The days coming will
be critical. We shall study all the
conditions and consult widely
before determining the way
forward for our collective
existence and survival as a
people. The days coming shall
either drive the quest of
integration or further separate
us.”the statement read
