The Arewa Forum And Yoruba Forum Caution Dokubo Over Militancy Threat. by 10kgod(m): 4:15am On Apr 04, 2015
The Arewa Consultative Forum and the Yoruba
Unity Forum have chided a former Niger Delta
militant, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, for threatening to
return to the creeks with his people following the
defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan in last
Saturday’s election.
Asari-Dokubo was reported to have said on
Wednesday that he and other militants might be
forced to return to the creeks because the
President’s defeat was owing to a gang up against
the South-South and South-East by the North and
South-West geo-political zones.
He had said, “The conditions that advanced the
need to embrace the creeks have been sadly re-
energised. It is clear that a vicious government
which may maim and murder the voice of the so-
called minorities may have just been birthed.
“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.”
In separate interviews with our correspondent on
Thursday, the ACF and the Yoruba Unity Forum
described Asari-Dokubo’s statement as
unfortunate, calling on the former militant to retract
his statement and immediately apologise to
Nigerians.
The Secretary-General, Yoruba Unity Forum,
Senator Anthony Adefuye, said, “It is an
unfortunate statement, and I am sure he is
suffering from the loss of his party. Very soon, he
will recover and apologise to the nation for saying
so. He is on his own because even the Ijaw
National Congress and other groups have already
congratulated the President-elect, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari.
“Asari-Dokubo cannot be different. I just advise
him to reconsider his statement and apologise to
Nigerians.”
On his part, the ACF chieftain, Alhaji Ibrahim
Coomassie, flayed Asari-Dokubo over the threat,
reminding him that President Goodluck Jonathan
had already said that he was not speaking on his
behalf.
He said, “Those threatening violence are on their
own and I am sure that law enforcement agents
will be ready to arrest and prosecute them. If they
do anything stupid, the laws are there to take care
of them.
“But let me advice them, this is a new Nigeria and
people are hoping for the best. All hands must be
on deck to help the government to succeed. Let
them think twice before they do anything foolis[b]
