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 maim 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
