Dokubo, Tompolo’s War Threat Unacceptable –FG by pontirock(m): 8:09am On Jan 30, 2015
The Federal Government officially reacted on Thursday to the war threat by ex- Niger Delta militants, saying it was reprehensible.
The condemnation came barely a day after a former Minister of Defence, Lt.Gen. Theophilus Danjuma, called for their arrest and seven days after the ex-militants made the threat at the Government House in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
The ex-militants – Mujahiden Dokubo-Asari, Government Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo), Victor Ebikabowei (aka Boyloaf) and others – had at the end of a meeting attended by Bayelsa State Governor Seriake Dickson, said, “For every Goliath, God created a David. For every Pharaoh, there is a Moses. We are going to war. Every one of you should go and fortify yourself.”
But as the Federal Government, through the Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, cautioned against inflammatory remarks, unrepentant Ekpemupolo, said Danjuma was the one that should be arrested by security operatives.
The minister, at a news conference in Abuja, said that there was no basis for the ex-militants to be beating war drums since President Goodluck Jonathan had said he would concede defeat if he lost the February 14 presidential election.
He said, “It is reprehensible for people to threaten this country with mayhem should their candidate lose the election . The President, Dr. Jonathan, has not left anybody in doubt as to his preparedness to conduct a free, fair, credible and transparent election.
“Mr. President has said that in the unlikely event of his losing the election, in the course of this exercise, that he was straight man enough, he was democratic enough to concede defeat.
“So, if Mr. President himself, who is the main contestant, who is the President of this country, who is the leader of the PDP(Peoples Democratic Party) has come out to say that he was going to ensure free and fair elections where the choice of Nigerians would be respected, I do not see where statements from supporters of either Mr. President or any political party for that matter should derail the course of this democratic movement.”
The minister, who said that the anxiety over the elections was unwarranted, stressed that the Federal Government was determined to conduct hitch-free elections.
He added that security agencies had been sufficiently mobilised for the elections.
Shortly after Moro spoke, Ekpemupolo, in a statement by his Media Adviser, Paul Bebenimibo, wondered why Danjuma, who did not condemn the stoning of Jonathan’s convoy in Katsina and Bauchi states, would want them arrested.
He asked, “Is Gen. Danjuma not aware of the peaceful atmosphere when Gen. Buhari visited Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa states for campaign? Why is it that President Jonathan’s convoy was attacked in Kastina and Bauchi states without any provocation?
“Where was this so-called statesman when the APC campaign Director General, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, threatened to form a parallel government if Jonathan wins the 2015 elections?”
Ekpemupolo said that Danjuma should be reminded that the treaty that brought the Southern and Northern Protectorates together in 1914, expired last year.http://www.punchng.com/news/dokubo-tompolos-war-threat-unacceptable-fg/

A man that can cripple Nigeria's economy shouldn't be messed with.
There are certain Nigerians one shouldn't mess with, Tompolo is one of them. Mess with Government Ekpemukpolo and risk the Naira being worthless like the Ghanaian Cedis.

The north should know that if GmB then boys will be returning to creeks and ths time Nigeria will have only 2k barrels of crude to export daily.

Some people are threatening to wage war should Jonathan lose and the only thing the FG could say was its "unacceptable"

Did the SSS and Marilyn Ogar suddenly lose all their arresting, detaining and torture skills?

Or those are just meant for people working in APC offices armed with laptops and photocopy machines

This is like a situation where some people are trying to fight for you and you say No to it. Jonathan is indeed a meek guy not threatening bloods of baboons and monkeys

Am a Niger Delta indigene. But I can bet with anybody that both Tompolo and Asari will be the first to run away or congratulate Buhari if he wins. because the Asari we know today Is different from d Asari that use to scavenge in d creeks of Niger Delta. Asari has money and cannot risk his life for anybody again.

In as much as I do not support violence,it's going to be a miracle of some sort if there's no violence from supporters of each of the two major parties after the election. With the way tempers are flying high,only God can save us.

Why Should Tompolo And Co Be Enjoying Immunity When They Are Not In Power? U MEAN THEY SHOULD CONTINUE IN THREATENING THE PEACE OF THIS COUNTRY? U HAVE A RETROGRESSIVE MIND!
