DOKUBO, OTHERS MEET OVER BUHARI’S VICTORY

A former Niger-Delta militant, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, says with the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan, he and other militants might be forced to ‘return to creeks.’
Asari-Dokubo, who hails from the same region as Jonathan, said the voting pattern showed that the South-West and the North ganged up again the South-South and South-East geo-political zone.
The ex-militant said in a statement by his spokesperson, Rex Anighoro, that it was unfair that the minorities were being emasculated by the majority ethnic groups.
He said he feared that the government of the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, would be vicious.
Asari-Dokubo said, “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 nonexistent as regional gang ups and supremacy is symbolic with this victory.”
The ex-militant, who had in January said he and his colleagues would wreak havoc if Jonathan lost, praised the President for being a true statesman.

2. You are all my people; I will treat you all as mine. I will work for those who voted for me, voted against me and those who didn’t vote at all.
3. President Jonathan has nothing to fear of me; we might not agree on the same methodology of governance… he is a great Nigerian leader, who made it possible for democracy to thrive.I will extend my hands of fellowship to Jonathan and his team.
