Buhari's Victory: Read New Warning Given To Asari Dokubo (Sacring One)

A patron of the National Council of Muslim Youth Organizations and chairman of the Oyo State Muslim Community, Alhaji Ishaq Kunle Sanni, has issued a warning to Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari.

Sanni warned Asari, the leader of Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Front/Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, not to stir up trouble following President Goodluck Jonathan’s loss in the presidential elections, Daily Trust reports.

Asari Dokubo, a former Niger Delta militant, had earlier promised to unleash violence on the country if the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan failed in the election.

Reacting to this threat in an open letter to Asari, Sanni warned him against waging war over an election in which Jonathan had already conceded defeat and Muhammadu Buhari, the president-elect has extended a hand of fellowship to him.
He wondered why the former militant is crying more than the bereaved.

The letter reads: “Our friends think that I am one of the closest persons to you. An affirmation of that truism is that my house is seen by your family as their second home. You would be wondering why I am going public since it was never in my character to criticise or even admonish you in public. But I want to be on record, especially because of many brothers begging me to talk to you not to commit harakiri (suicide). They would know I have done my own.

“They said the news is viral on the social media, electronic and print media that you intend to fulfill your earlier threat made with your colleagues in the Ijaw Nation struggle to go back to the creeks and take arms against the federal government. The question is when would I see you so that we can talk? What if you carry out your threat tomorrow? Allah may record it for me as being nonchalantly unpatriotic. What of if you die while trying to put your unfathomable Ijaw irredentism into high gear and people accuse me of nonchalance?”

Just after Buhari was declared winner of the election Asari Dokubo issued a new threat, promising to return to the creeks. He also blamed the Yoruba and Hausa for cooperating to frustrate Jonathan, who hails from the Niger Delta region.

Following this threat, the Warri ex-agitator, General Augustine Ogedegbe, pleaded with Asari to key into the peace drive of President Jonathan and also accept the reality that General Muhammadu Buhari is now the president-elect of Nigeria just as President Goodluck Jonathan and others have accepted it.
