As the comments credited to the
leader of the Niger Delta People’s
Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Alhaji
Mujaheed Asari-Dokubo on the 2015
presidential ambition of President
Goodluck Jonathan continues to
generate various opinions, youth
from the northern part of the country
have warned the former militant to
apologise or face the anger of the
region.
Apparently angered by the
‘derogatory’ comment, the youth
under the aegis of Amintacciyar
Arewa Youth Movement, AAYM,
vowed to deal with Asari-Dokubo if he
fails to apologise over the several
statements credited to him, which
they tagged as ‘derogatory and
embarrassing to the north.
“We are calling on Asari- Dokubo to
withdraw and apologise to Nigerians
for his lousy utterances against the
north, because this is a slap on the
Niger-Delta people who have mutual
understanding with the northern
people and the north will continue to
stay in harmony with non-indigenes
of the Niger-Delta,” the group said.
The group in a communiqué signed
by its Chairman and Secretary-
General, Jamilu Karama and Aminu
Mataima respectively, also accused
President Goodluck Jonathan of
deliberately marginalizing the north
in terms of political appointments,
employment and developmental
projects.
“We observed that the
north has been
marginalised and developmental
projects meant for the north has
been abandoned by this
administration as the north is not
having her share of employment
based on the federal character.
“Therefore, we are calling on
President Goodluck Jonathan to
ensure sanity and end the conflict
that has been ravaging and crippling
the northern states within the
shortest possible time,” said the
group.
They called on all leaders of thought
from the region to rally round Vice-
President, Namadi Sambo to find a
lasting solution to the problems
confronting the region.
“We are calling on former heads of
state, former and present governors,
traditional rulers, religious leaders,
political leaders and other
stakeholders of the region to meet
with Vice-President, Namadi Sambo,
being the number one citizen of the
region to sort out the problems of the
region and bring out a permanent
solution that will uplift the region and
the country to greater heights.
“We want to use this opportunity to
call on Jama’atul Sunah Liada’awatul
Waljihad (Boko Haram) to please, for
the sake of Allah, children and our
mothers, end this conflict,” the
statement concluded.

They're not serious. Who is marginalizing them? 40+ years as president,their people did not do anything for the country and they're crying wolf now. This administration places high premium on merit and there is nothing any fools can do about it. Check cowbell's nation competition result on guardian newspaper and see the pass mark of northern states. Ndi ara. Asari talk on jare. Seun Osewa and the entire Nairaland are solidly behind you. North can burst for all we care. Fresh water 2015

What wrath do they have that we've not seen before?
They have bombed and maimed us over the decades yet here we are challenging them to their very faces.

Maybe they have not realized that they have expended all the force of their wrath so far, and there is none we're not familiar with. But they don't know that they're yet to experience the wrath of the Ijaw and entire ND people.

Bring it ON!
