Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, on Thursday said it was unfortunate that some of his strong views on national issues have been translated to mean that he hates the north.
Asari told reporters at a press conference in Abuja that having spent the greater part of his life in the struggle to defend the oppressed, it would be wrong for people to consider him as one who hates the north or any other part of the country.
The former President of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) however insisted that he would never shy away from speaking the truth, not minding who feels offended.
He noted that it is time for Nigerians to face realities and come together to fight the injustice in the land.
This, he said would ensure that they do not go back to the “era of darkness, especially now that the calls for a sovereign national conference have become louder.”
He stressed that a new vista of interaction has been opened with people across the country where everyone has shown commitment to “midwife a genuine rebirth of mutual cooperation, love and unity amongst ourselves and all our various people.”
He said: “Most of my address has been translated as hatred against the north, this is far from the truth, because the word hatred has never existed in my dictionary.
“But I will never shy away from stating the fact, not minding who feels happy or sad about it.
“I have spent most of my life, in my close to 50 years that Allah has graciously allowed me to live so far, in the forefront of various struggles against oppressions of my people and others. I cannot do this if I hate any part of the country. But I will remain consistent in the fight against oppression.
“It is time for us to face the obvious realities and come together to fight and ensure we don’t go back to the era of darkness, especially now that the calls for a Sovereign National Conference have become louder.
“We believe that with the appearance of true, sincere and genuine northerners, a new page of interaction has been open, where we see ourselves as equals and our interest as closely knitted.
“These genuine patriots have assured and confirmed to us that those who held the disgraceful and racial belief of being superior to others and are born to rule do not represent the overwhelming majority of the people of the north.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeletewhat made u think anybody is concernd abt ur likes. mr bearded man;!
ReplyDeleteAsari has every right to say his mind it is his constitutional right. Asari is miles far from intelligent and seeks to be noticed by all means. If he shuts up, nobody wud notice him so d little fame he gets keeps him agitated notwithstanding that he makes no sense at all times. Asari thinks he is mysterious n brave but he again is in a huge delusion of his own self. He is confused and depressed. Most times, asari gets tired of his own nonsense n wishes he had d opportunity to be noticed in a different way bur too late he thinks and a retreat wud mean cowardice n loss of the fame he thinks he actually has in his tiny brains. However, he just has to make do with what he could get n continue saying rubbish as far as it would be published and people would ask again who is this mad man?
ReplyDeleteAsari who claim to fight for the oppressed lived in affulence in abuja while those he claimed to be fighting for are left back in the ND. The likes of Asari are the ones making thimgs difficult for Jonathan second term ambition.
ReplyDeleteMUGU Don show again with another Mumu talks.
ReplyDeleteEVEN IF ASARI DOKUBO HATES NORTHERNERS, WHO CARES ? THE LOUD MOUTH CAN GO TO HELL !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAsari, it is very very ironical for you to think that you can fight for the opressed in Nigeria. You forgot that you were born to meet some people on this earth you now claim to be defending the Ijaw people. It is only in Nigeria that people like you are being tolerated and empowered by a pussy Government. Your type can not exist in the USA because you are not fit to live in any street. The best place for your likes, is the prison and you will stay their for life. Thank your God that people like me are not in the Governement, you would have been a forgotten person. Well since this Government favours you and your kind of truth, keep riding on, while we watch. But be rest assured that should there be any crisis in this Country out of your utterances, you will be one of the first to be slaughtered on the alter of the war front.
ReplyDeleteEvery person, who wants to gain acceptance in the public eye and be as popular as Martin luther king will say he is fighting for the oppressed. I guess to fight for people is to lift yourself above them. Certainly that is what Tompolo did. His action does not equate to fighting for the oppressed but his pocket; of course through the oppressed because the minds of the oppressed are easily harnassed and their support tapped only to be dumped when their collective efforts has yeilded. It is the same thing that our politician do to make us support them and sadly, the oppressed refuse to ever learn from their mistakes.
