Asari Dokubo Condemns Niger Delta Amnesty by lionstone: 11:11am On Sep 09, 2015 |
Alhaji. Asari Dokubo, the leader
of the Ijaw Youth Council, has
condemned the amnesty
granted to the ex-Niger Delta
militants by the late president,
Umaru Yar’adua.
According to him, this was a
bribe to allow oil flow from the
Niger Delta region to the North.
He said that was the reason he
rejected the offer.
Dokubo, who gave the
clarification during the 2015
MASSOB day celebration, held in
Owerri, Imo State, also faulted
the national conference
organised by the Federal
Government, insisting that the
exercise did not represent the
views of the Niger Delta region
that is yearning for a
referendum.
“It only represented the views
of the rest of the country. Let us
beallowed to have a
referendum. We have the right
to hold a referendum on where
we want to go,” he argued.
He described MASSOB and his
group as partners in progress
who are moving in the same
direction to arrive at a common
destination as one people and
nation.
Dokubo, who faulted the last
general elections in the
country, decried the pace of
growth and development of the
nationover the years, noting
that there should be massive
infrastructural provision to
stimulate the economy with
conscious and unpolluted
efforts to bring about industrial
growth and job creation.
Meanwhile, members of
MASSOB had a confrontation
with the police at the Assumpta
Roundabout while riding in
convoy to the state capital for
the celebration.
An eyewitness account had it
that the police who had
stationed their vehicles at the
popular Control Post, Owerri,
asked the MASSOB members to
retreat but they refused and
were teargassed by the police.
It was said that MASSOB
members, who were numbered
over 500, had hauled stones at
the police, who shot in the air
to scare them away.
Meanwhile, the Imo State
Commissioner of Police, Austin
Evbakvbokun, while confirming
the incident, said that the
police halted the movement of
the MASSOB members to the
state capital because they do
not have a permit for such
gathering.
He added that the group
conducted itself in a disorderly
manner, carrying insignias,
which were not of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, thus
necessitating the prompt action
of his men to stop them. SOURCE: http://www.dailytimes.com.ng/asari-dokubo-condemns-niger-delta-amnesty/ |
