Former Niger Delta militant leader and ex-head of the defunct Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, has stated that he will no longer support Yoruba politicians, accusing them of betraying him and the Ijaw people.
In a video shared on social media on Monday, Asari-Dokubo
declared his new political alignment with Northern politicians, whom he
described as consistent and respectful, unlike their Yoruba counterparts.
“The Yorubas have betrayed us. After all we did, they turned
their backs on us,” he said.
Reflecting on past alliances, Asari-Dokubo expressed dismay
that the sacrifices made by the Ijaw for southern solidarity were not
reciprocated.
He further referenced previous elections and governance
battles as moments when the Ijaw stood firm for the South, only to be
abandoned.
“I felt apologetic for our fathers who were not wrong in
forming alliances with the North. As young men, we will now continue that same
alliance,” he stated.
Moving forward, Asari-Dokubo vowed “As of today, I will now
work, work, work and form alliance with the North to crush out opposition,”
citing recent political realignments and what he perceives as lack of loyalty
from the South-West as reasons for his decision.
