Niger Delta militant leader, Dokubo Asari, says the end of the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan, may signal the relaunch of the struggle of the people of the Niger Delta region.
At the 2015 annual Major Issac Adaka Boro day organised by the Niger Delta People Salvation Front, NDPSF, at Ughelli, Delta State, Dokubo Asari, also advised President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, against undermining the interest of the Niger Delta.
He stated that the tenure of Jonathan had been the temporary restraining order on the advancement of the self determination struggle of the Niger Delta People.
He said: “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.”
Speaking on the incoming administration of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), Asari 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”.
