An ex-militant, Mujahid Asari Dokubo, has described the victory of president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari as a clear indication that the people of the south west, and the north of the country are bent on subjugating those of the Niger Delta and south east.

Dokubo in a statement by his spokesman, Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro, accused the yoruba and hausa of collaborating to frustrate President Goodluck Jonathan who is from the Niger Delta region.

“The celebrated victory of Buhari is not the victory of the people but victory of regional conspiracy and supremacy. The voting pattern has clearly shown that the Gambari North and the Yorubas are United in the conquest of the Niger Deltans and the Igbos of defunct Biafra with the middle belt now used as pawns”,he said.

According to him, “Nigerian union clearly reinforces the fact of self determination and that Nigeria remains a very divided and separated entity whose claim to unity remains a fraud of gargantuan proportion.

The ex-militant who threatened to unleash violence on the country if President Goodluck Jonathan lost his re-election bid, stated, that “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”.

He said,

“The victory of Muhammadu Buhari is a historical reminder that we are a conquered people who are mere appendages existing at the pleasure of the supremacist and the regional overlords.

“We remain a people separated by our ideologies and interests, we are not integrated nor reconciled.” He alleged that the incoming government could attempt to undermine the interest of the Niger Delta and called for a return to the creeks.

“While President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan enjoys his moments and bask in the euphoria of a now world renowned statesman having congratulated Muhammadu Buhari his conqueror, we must quickly remind that our struggle was never about Jonathan nor about presidency.

“The days coming will be critical, we shall study all the conditions and consult widely before determining the way going forward for our collective existence and survival as a people. The days coming shall either drive the quest of integration or further separate us.”
