I just hope Nigeria can cope with the problems that Boko Haram will create in this country.
Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari, has dared Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, to be prepared to meet him on the battle field.
Asari, who dismissed the threats by Shekau against President Goodluck Jonathan, warned that 2015 election in Nigeria would be “more than do-or-die.”
In the words of Asari Dokubo:
“They are starting oo! Shekau (Boko Haram leader) said in his video that we should not play with them. He said ‘Goodluck, I am coming for you. Niger Delta, we are coming for you.’ Are we going to allow them? They will shoot the guns; throw the bombs and that is when we will dance.
“2015 is more than do-or-die. It is our very survival that is being challenged; it is our very existence that is being challenged and we must tell them; you are a man and I am a man, we are going to meet at the battlefield. Be prepared, be watchful. The enemies should not be allowed. In this region, there will be only one vote.”
The ex-Niger Delta militant leader spoke on Thursday night during a strategic partnership session with former militant leaders organised by the Niger Delta Development Commission. Asari-Dokubo said that the people of Niger Delta would not be deterred by any threat to them or President Jonathan and added that the 2015 election remained a challenge to the survival of the people of the region.
Asari also dismissed the call by the North for the scrapping of NDDC and the reduction of 13% derivation to five percent, adding that such call from the North will be ignored.
“The people from the North have said that NDDC should be scrapped. They said 13% derivation should be reduced to five percent and that nobody owns oil.
“We have to gather again and tell them (North) that they dare not do it. If they (North) try it now, they will see it. It is because our brother is the President; that is why we are hanging it (our weapons).”
