Asari Dokubo under attack by former Niger Delta Militants

Alhaji Asari Dokubo, has come under attack by his fellow ex-militant war lords, who have accused him of making treasonable statements against the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari and the nation.

Controversial South South militant, Asari Dokubo was berated by the president of the national coalition of Niger Delta ex-agittators (NCNDE-A), ‘General’ Israel Akpodoro, who warned the former to desist from making flagrant statements.

The Nation reports that Akpodoro, at a meeting in Ugheli on Monday, May 25, accused Dokubo of trying to make Niger Delta region issues a personal interest.

He called on Dokubo to retrace his steps noting that the region was ready to adopt peace.

“As peac‎e-loving people, the ex-militants have changed from the war- war approach to a much peaceful and decent approach to achieving results. We owe the Nigerian state our patriotism, solidarity, loyalty as long as the federal government gives us an unfettered sense of belonging in the state,” the group said.

He alleged that the genuine struggle for a better Niger Delta was hijacked by people of narrow interests, who carried out impunity, gangsterism‎ and nepotism.
