Hausa-Fulani-Yoruba gang up against Biafra and Niger Delta a show of regional conspiracy and supremacy - Asari Dokubo

Asari Tokubo states that “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.” 

Asari Dokubo, the Niger Delta nationalist leader has opined that the recently concluded elections in Nigeria has clearly demonstrated that the unity of Nigeria is a charade. According to him, the voting pattern of the presidential results reinforces the fact that Biafrans (southeast and south-south) are "conquered people who are mere appendages existing at the pleasure of the supremacist and the regional overlords".

Dokubo, who denied saying he was in support of any government in power, hinted that the conditions that led people to embrace the Niger Delta creeks has once again reared its ugly head. He accused the Hausa-Fulani and their Yoruba lackeys of ganging up against Biafrans.

In a press statement released by Dokubo through his spokesman, Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro stated that: “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 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 Middlebelt now used as pawns. 

“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 added that Buhari's government would intimidate and undermine the region: “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. “Indeed integration is nonexistent as regional gang ups and supremacy is symbolic with this victory. 

“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. 

“President Goodluck Jonathan was 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 forward for statesmanship. 

"Yes indeed to an extent he was a mitigating factor in self determination pursuit as we went on sabbatical, this mitigation he seem to have willingly repudiated. 

“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.”
