Asari Dokubo says
the emergence of Gen Buhari as the President of Nigeria in last Saturday's
presidential election may signify "The conditions that advanced the need
to embrace the creeks have been sadly re-energised. It is clear that a vicious
government who may maim and murder the voice of the so-called minorities may
have just been birthed. Indeed integration is non-existent as regional gang-ups
and supremacy is symbolic with this victory" the statement read.
According to Asari,
"While President Jonathan enjoys his moments and basks in the euphoria of
a new world-renowned statesman having congratulated Muhammadu Buhari, we must
quickly be reminded that our struggle was never about Jonathan or about the
presidency. President Jonathan is an establishment beneficiary of our struggle,
our sweat and blood that many bled and died for. He was never in the struggle
and he can never wish away our collective march for statesmanship. Yes indeed,
to an extent, he was a mitigating factor in self-determination pursuit as we
went on sabbatical. This mitigation he seems to have willingly repudiated. 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.”the statement read
NB: Although Asari
Dokubo as a Nigerian, has his fundamental right to say whatever he likes,
however, to instigate or clamour for war should not be taking lightly. The Ijaw
leaders need to call him to order as soon as practicable
