We’re ready to die if Buhari undermines us –Asari-Dokubo
Leader of the Niger Delta People Salvation Front (NDPSF) Alhaji Mujaheed Dokubo-Asari says people of the Niger Delta region are not afraid to confront the incoming administration of Muhammadu Buhari, and if need be, are ready to fight, and die if the Buhari administration undermines certain interests in the region.
Asari-Dokubo spoke during the 2015 annual Major Issac Adaka Boro day organised by the NDPSF, in Ughelli, Delta State over the weekend.
He said: “Should Buhari undermine certain interest of the Niger Delta region through a systemic arrest, maiming of our comrades and seeing her as a conquered region, then it may be honourable for some of us to die in prison or in the field of war as nobody is afraid of him”.
According to him, the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency has been a mitigation and a restraining order on the advancement of the self-determination struggle of the Niger Delta People.
The former warlord explained that though a new government is emerging on May 29, the restraining order posed by President Jonathan, has been revoked.
According to him, “A new government begins in Nigeria and a next phase of our struggle shall begin. We will watch, wait and determine our best way forward because the future is pregnant and Nigeria would never be the same again.”

I think he is beating the drums of war on his own. If Buhari does not agree with the terms and conditions of the NDPSF there is little they can do, inciting violence will enusre a swift massacre.

Die now, as far as u don’t take innocent lives with you. Just you and your mercenaries. So as we end Boko Haram hopefully, you now want to start your own torment on the country.let me advice you. U are in an oil producing region, which means all of Nigeria will be very affected by your disturbance. Not only the president will come after you. The world will too.
