Group Condemns Asari Dokubo’s War Comments

The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation has condemned the statement purportedly accredited to Alhaji Asari Dokubo that the “boys” may likely head to the creeks following the victory of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari over President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan an Ijaw man at the Presidential polls which held March 28^th 2015.

The group via a statement signed by its National Director of Publicity Comrade Benjamin Etuk said it was disheartening that rabble rousers will want to put cog to the wheel of peace and progress of our dear country as expressed through President Goodluck Jonathan’s acceptance of the released results.

The group said Asari Dokubo and his fellow militants caused more harm for Jonathan during the cause of the campaigns when their lack of understanding of the intrigues of Nigerian politics pushed them into making unguided remarks that jeopardized President Jonathan’s aspiration. The group said “while we was busy reaching out to friendly groups in the North and other areas, Asari Dokubo and co were busy fanning the ambers of war. This attitude was one of the reasons why the north said it will stick to its own and damn any consequence. The reaction to that is evident”

The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation said Nigeria must move forward in peace despite the events of March 28^th. “as a group, we must confess that we were shocked by the announcement of results but since our father has accepted the result and has urged peace from his supporters, we will be most foolish to start drumming the songs of war. This must be condemned by all Nigerians.” The statement said.

The group also warned the incoming President to try and build the country along intellectualism rather than patronizing insurgents or militants. It said this will encourage Nigerians to build their capacity and have belief in themselves.

Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body. As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...
