Ex-Niger-Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has expressed his disagreement with Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), over his call for the boycott of the 2019 general elections by the Southeast and South-south region.

Dokubo made his views known in a six minutes video which surfaced on the social media on Monday.

Kanu had over the weekend urged IPOB supporters and sympathizers in the two geopolitical zones to shun the 2019 general election unless the Federal Government announced a date for Biafra referendum.

Ex-Niger-Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has expressed his disagreement with Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), over his call for the boycott of the 2019 general elections by the Southeast and South-south region.


Dokubo made his views known in a six minutes video which surfaced on the social media on Monday.

Kanu had over the weekend urged IPOB supporters and sympathizers in the two geopolitical zones to shun the 2019 general election unless the Federal Government announced a date for Biafra referendum.


Reacting to the call, Dokubo argued that heeding Kanu’s advice was suicidal since it would be tantamount to empowering those opposed to the Biafra aspirations with resources from the national treasury to frustrate the people’s struggle.

He went further to point out that pro-independent agitators in Spain, Ireland and Palestine contested elections and won seats into political offices in a bid to push their agenda rather than boycott general elections in their respective nations.

His words: “Fellow Biafrans and compatriots, our goal is the freedom of our motherland. It is not about the celebration and deification of individuals. It is not about the appropriation of our collective struggle by an individual, group of individuals or an organisation. The Biafra struggle is for the freedom of all Biafrans.


“But we have to clear some misconceptions. These misconceptions is that people who are fighting for freedom do not get involved in political participations.

“Let us come to the touching issue of election boycott. It is standing history on its head to say that we should boycott elections.

“In Catalan, the pro-Catalan independent party is contesting election even after the imperialists Spanish government dissolved (Catalan) parliament and government and cancelled elections. But they still contested and won election and are in power.

“The pro-independent Scottish party is contesting election; they continue to contest election and control the government of Scotland.

“The pro-independent Northern Ireland Party, the Irish Republican Army thought its political wing is contesting elections.

“Hamas who are pro-independent parties or organization in Palestine are contesting elections.

“How can you give resources to empower the hands of the enemies of our struggle? I am not from Anambra state but if we had gone to vote in Anambra, Obiano would not be there (as governor).

“Obiano is an enemy of our people. Today he has sold our land to General Muhammadu Buhari or his double that is in Aso Rock because I do not believe the man in Aso Rock is General Muhammadu Buhari.

“When people tell us the truth, we don’t want to accept. We want to impose our will which is not working and is anti-our people.

“We frighten our people, run away from soldiers, we run away from occupation forces, we run away from police. Why would we do that? Who are we deceiving?

“Finally, no outsider can give us freedom. They have not done it anywhere. It is we, with our own show of valour and commitment, can give is freedom.”

This is exactly what we sensible Igbo people have been saying to boycott 2019 general elections is not the option. No sensible person that live in Nigeria will support the call to boycott 2019 general elections. Nnamdi Kanu is only trying to prove a point that he is in control in all South-East

states he don't care what will happen after 2019 election when the declare Apc Members as the winners of all elective posts in all South East states because Apc members in South East must vote .

I'm very sure before Asari recorded this video he have spoke with Nnamdi kanu but due to arrogance he will never listen to Asari he believed that he is the supreme leader he have the final say. Ipob and Nnamdi Kanu have turned this biafra struggle as if they only one that can achieve it without other groups or individuals contribution. ipob have no good advisers.I keep on saying it the downfall of ipob will be due arrogance.

I stand with Asari on this.

He is right.

Asari own interests and his people is distinct from kanu and his people..

Asari just said the mind of igbos and niger delta

We are atikulating obidently
Shekina

IPOB would rather vote than allow the dullard return. Nigerians (IPOB inclusive) that aint fanatics are united with a common goal of sending the imcompetent and divisive Jubrin back to Sudan.

no reasonable biafran will vote come 2019,
who should we vote for,Atiku or buhari?
Tell me the different between both.


Come to think of it,what if after voting the same buhari you are fighting to remove win,you will come here to shout biafra.


Between buhari and atiku none is good for us,freedom remain the best.

Ipob are not voting,the massage is simple.

WORD

NNAMDI KANU IS WORKING FOR BULLHARY #FACT

Vote or no vote it depends on what the individual aim he /she intends to achieve...if you believe voting would solve a problem...Vote for the Right Candidate.... If you believe not voting would also solve a problem.... "Don't vote"....Live is making a choice that can make impact in your community, country and world in whole....

Vote Not Fight...

KANU is Right, Asari is also Right...

NwaAmaikpe:




I stand with Asari on this.

Yes you are all right. No need to boycott the election. But, it comes to mind, hope there will be no Biafra or death when your principal is defeated in the election?

baliyubla:

It will become double standard. if your principal is defeated in 2019 and you all come here to shout Biafra or death

Saying he's 'fighting' Mazi kanu is just being a bit melodramatic...just to make it look like there's dissension in the ranks!

I'm not also in support of a election boycott, and i'm not fighting anyone....it's a personal choice! The beauty of freewill and choice is that each one of us can listen to both sides of the argument and then make an informed decision based on what we think is in the best interests of the whole!

hmm

And you think you will get freedom by simply shouting give me freedom? Keep deceiving yourselves. Wait till Buhari wins a second term, you will see nke toro Beatty.
Phyton dance will be like child's play, and note, no nation , no Israel is coming to help you, even if Buhari kills 1million biafrans. How many Shiites have been killed in broad day light? What has happened? Is Buhari not still meeting world leaders up and down the whole world? Did anybody arrest him?

Change can only come from within, it can never come from the outside. As powerful as Jesus Christ is, his only way to stop the deadly persecution of Christians in the early days was to convert the Roman Emperor Constantine to christianity. So from the political system of that time, Christianity became accepted and persecution stopped.

Having radio shows where you abuse people, demonstrations and 'Sit @ Homes' will lead no where. If IPOB is not interested in national politics, they should at least be interested in regional politics. Take over the south east politically, what is bad in that? Then fight the battle from there.

Imagine if all the Governors, senators and house of reps from the South East were ipob members, do you not think the mission would make more sense and promise land closer, or is ipob afraid that if its members taste power, they will forget the struggle?

How can someone galvanize such force and want to waste it by saying he doesn't want to be part of the politics of the nation, when in fact his lack of participation is an indirect way of participating to his own detriment?

Nnamdi KANU is either plain stupid or an agent the Fulani is using to see to it that a large chunk of Igbo youths get killed by government forces. (And note: there is no government that will not do what Buhari did especially in the face of such direct provocation by NK and the setting up of BSS. An Obasanjo would have done worse). Constituted authority cannot be messed with except through force, and IPOB has no force, all na mouth.

Continue following him like a fool, till Python swallow you.

Note, NK is in a safe haven. Its you and other sheepish followers that would be used as shooting range practice by the Army.

Ndi nzuzu.

OreMI22:
The so called Nnamdi Kanu is a clone!
The real Nnamdi Kanu was killed at Afraukwu Ibeku on September 14 2017.

The real Nnamdi would never ask his people to commit suicide like the present clone planted by Buhari to create confusion.

creating propaganda wont cover the truth there is an impostor in aso rock

The OP and 3 posters below him are all afonja, trying to sway public opinion in favor of Asari to artificially create rift in Biafra struggle. IPOB only listens to Nnamdi Kanu. SMH

This is what Nnamdi kanu and his supporters wouldn't want to hear, I never knew that Asari Dokubo was this cerebral and intelligent unlike that other coward in faraway Israel or wherever and his deluded followers.
Look at the examples of other secessionist groups he mentioned yet participating in local elections in their different countries but Nnamdi kanu and his IPOB miscreants would think getting their illusional Biafra is by boycotting and girlcotting of election.

You've said it all, nothing more to add here.

Asari, so no more Biafra no lefelendum?

But to be honest, Asari his making sense. Igbos and other groups need to transform into a political group by 2023.

You are not smart for concluding that NK is arrogant and might not had listened to Asari.


Do you know if it is a game plan by the both of them to save IPOB any embarrassment of appearing hypocritical by using Asari Dokunbo as a spearhead of saying Election should not be boycotted.?


Don't be surprised that NK and Asari planned this together knowing fully well that, Asari Dokunbo is well respected by the Igbos for saving NK.


The few response on this thread and on YouTube is a proof that, many Biafrans are in support of Asari Dokunbo and that is why they are silent in order not to appear hypocritical before their adversaries.

Many will quietly vote Atiku while holding firm to their Biafran ideology in the open.

Biafra will never come

GoTV:
Biafra will never come

You will live to see biafra..

You will see the flag fly high...

.......is a promise.

In Catalan, the pro-Catalan independent party is contesting election even after the imperialists Spanish government dissolved (Catalan) parliament and government and cancelled elections. But they still contested and won election and are in power......

The ugly toad of a coward can never do this.
