A group of ex-militants in the Niger Delta, led by
Government Ekpemopulo (aka Tompolo), on Friday met
in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, and threatened
war over what they described as coordinated attacks on
the campaign team of President Goodluck Jonathan in
some Northern States. The group vowed to resort to
violence and engage in armed confrontation with
anyone or group plotting to derail Mr.Jonathan’s
second term ambition.
Those who attended the meeting, held at the Banquet
Hall of the Bayelsa State Government House, included
Kingsley Kuku, a special adviser to the president and
chairman of the presidential amnesty program, Mujahid
Asari Dokubo, Mr. Ekpemopulo, Victor Ben Ebikabowei
(aka Boy Loaf), Eris Paul, also known as General
Ogunboss, and Pastor Reuben.
Addressing the gathering in Ijaw language, Mr.
Ekpemopulo, better known by his nickname of Tompolo,
said he would not dwell on the recent cases of
intimidation and attacks on President Goodluck
Jonathan, but called on the youths and the political
figures from the region to forgive one another and
forge a united front. “Let us unite and within seven
days, you will see what will happen,” he said.
The participants acknowledged that various issues had
polarized members of the Ijaw ethnic group since Mr.
Jonathan’s ascension as president, but they urged the
youths of the region to work towards the re-election of
President Jonathan in the February 14 presidential
election.
Mr. Asari Dokubo, an unrepentant militant who has
often invoked war if Mr. Jonathan was voted out, told
the gathering that the recent stoning of President
Goodluck Jonathan's campaign convoy by youths from
some Northern States was an open declaration of war.
“This action is calling the Niger Delta youths to war,” he
said.
Mr. Dokubo added: “Every Niger Delta youth should go
and prepare for war. For the past four days, I have not
slept well nor have I had a change of clothing. I have
not been to my house. This is the time. The Northern
youths are trying to know how important you are. After
this time, no one will play with us. After the 2015
[election], no governor will play with us. We are saying
we will fight with anything and everything that we have.
Ijaw people cannot continue to suffer while other
people enjoy.”
In his speech, Victor Ben Ebikabowei, the former deputy
commander of the Movement for the Emancipation of
the Niger Delta (MEND), declared that his recent
decision to resign from the administration of Governor
Seriake Dickson as director general of the state’s Youths
Development Center, was based on the anticipated “call
to war.” “All of us are strategists. I am not a politician
and no politician can I intimidate me. I resigned my
appointment because I know this day will come,” he
said.
He added: “They want to use the issue of insecurity
along the waterways of the Niger Delta to keep us busy.
And today, they are intimidating our own [Jonathan]. I
am Boy Loaf. I have retired but not tired. I will go back
to the creeks if possible. Whether they like it or not,
President Goodluck Jonathan will win. Now that the oil
is below $50 per barrel, they want to use Boko Haram
to take power. If they take power, we will demand for
all the years of benefiting from oil. Nobody can
intimidate the Niger Delta. Gone are the days you
[could] intimidate people with the rifle."
Mr. Kuku, who read the resolutions of the meeting,
announced that the youths of the region had resolved
to support the re-election of President Goodluck
Jonathan and would not take lightly any attacks on the
campaign entourage of the president.
