Nobody Is Afraid Of Buhari - Asari-dokubo Threatens War by manlawal(m): 5:15pm On May 18, 2015 |
The ex-militant was speaking on Sunday, during the yearly Isaac Adaka Boro’s memorial public event organised by Rex Anighoro, spokesman of the Niger Delta People Salvation Front, The Cable reports. Asari, said the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan, at the election could corrode the stability in the Niger Delta region, stating that the policies started by Buhari would define the next line of action that the militant group would take. He said: “Yes, a new government begins in Nigeria and a next phase of our struggle shall begin .” “Jonathan Goodluck presidency was like a restraining order. Now that the restraint is lifted, however, we will watch and wait, let them draw the first blood and we shall determine our best way forward. Nigeria will never be the same again. The future is pregnant. “Let it be known that we were not defeated. It was Jonathan and his party that lost an election. We as a people, indeed, the Niger Delta region alongside the Igbos, were never defeated. We collectively rejected the born-to-rule and supremacist agenda which some of our brothers as field slaves and taskmasters supported, yet their number shows that they are of little consequence. We must however not take them for granted. “Should Buhari who like Pharaoh has determined in his heart to turn desolate the Niger Delta region, draw the first blood by undermining certain interest of the region, then begin the systemic arrest, maiming and murder our comrades, continue the confiscation of our rights to self- determination and treat the region as a conquered region, then it may be honourable for some of us to die in prison or in the field of war as nobody is afraid of him.” The former warlord further blamed some ex-militants of being more worried about how to benefit from Buhari’s administration than focus on subjects related to the region. “Many so-called generals of the Niger Delta struggle have proven more than ever that they are pretty penny merchants as they have fled the battlefield even before the first fire of the gun desperately negotiating to be accommodated in Buhari’s government as field slaves ,” Dokubo said. He said while Jonathan was a beneficiary of the Niger Delta fight, he disbelieved if the leaving president comprehends the concept of their activism. “Jonathan Goodluck was never in the struggle. He was not a product of the struggle but an establishment beneficiary of our struggle. “Our struggle is not and never about becoming the president. It was not about being awarded oil licences and mouth- watering contracts. It was not about massive infrastructural development of the Niger Delta Region. It was not about high scale appointments employment and empowerment. It was never about interventionist programmes and projects. “Our struggle indeed is about our collective freedom from a false and forced colonial union that has remained divided and unintegrated. It is about our being conferred a slave status and seen as a conquered people who must exist at the mercy of the overloads and supremacist class using our own brothers as taskmasters against us in a Nigerian union, ” he added. It should be mentioned that Asari-Dokubo, before the elections promised a series of action against Muhammadu Buhari and some opposition party leaders as well as voters from the Niger Delta region should 2015 presidential poll not go the way of President Jonathan in the region. A few hours after the poll results were released on April 1, Dokubo expressed disappointment with the outcome of the election, saying the Yoruba and Hausa untied against the interest of the Niger Deltans and the Igbo. www.naij.com/441055-nobody-is-afraid-of-buhari-asari-dokubo-threatens-war.html cc: Ikenna351 , OAM4J , Afam4eva |

Asari has forgotten that power has changed hands. Under GMB, no terrorists will be pampered. Time will tell. |

Only a stupid youth with a faulty mental faculty will believe Asari, Tompolo and Co. are fighting for Niger Delta and not their personal pockets. What as the youth of Niger Delta benefited in the last three years? But these militants have grown fat, living super star lives, going with nollywood stars, riding in private jets and buildings mansions here and there. I repeat, only stupid youths will follow these ones and put their lives in danger. 1 Like |

Gradually the rhetoric is changing. Initially it was "we would set the country ablaze if Jonathan is not re-elected". Nigerians called his bluff by voting out Jonathan. Now is has become "let them draw the first blood". Funny. Reminds me of those days when you dare someone to touch you if they think they got balls. You get touched and then the next thing you do is to say "touch me again" when everyone had expected you to pounce on the "toucher". I wonder what next it would be... |

Asari if you are for self determination and freedom be specific, clear and consistent. What do you mean by wait and watch what Buhari's govt will do? That sound like you are wavering and not made up ur mind. Cause I don't see Buhari becoming president and then letting your people to be free, that's a malaria dream!!! If you are for self determination stick to it and make hey Buhari or no Buhari. Else you sound like a hypocrite crying cause GEJ lost election. Be RESOLUTE AND INCORRUPTIBLE! |

juicee1: AhmedMustapha:Very clear signs of a coward I tell you. Today he denounces his citizenship, tomorrow he wants Niger Delta emancipation, the day after he's building a university in another country when he's yet to build a nursery school for the people whose course he claims to be fighting for. I wish my fellow countrymen could just get a little bit wiser. |

Shameless. When the money was flowing into his hands from a corrupt and non performing presidency there was no talk of the need for development and systems put in place to lift the people out of poverty. But now there is a threat to his money flow it now suddenly becomes about the people. Only the blind and bigoted still hold Asari in any sort of regard, he isn't a 'freedom fighter', he is a crook trying to whip of ethnic sentiments to cover himself. If Asari Dokubo is arrested tomorrow nothing will happen. Here are a list of some of the people who have suppressed the Niger Delta and it's quest for development: Peter Odilli, Orubebe, Jonathan, Patience, Asari, Tompolo, Boyloaf. These people have funnelled money into accounts to benefit themselves ONLY, but rush quickly to shout "the people" when they are threatened. What has the NDDC and Ministry of Niger Delta achieved with all the billions that go into it? The people who run that ministry and agency where are they from? Keep deceiving yourselves. People shopuld stop allowing themselves to be used as pawns in the schemes of evil men with no integrity or conscience. 1 Like |
