The 2015 Presidential
Poll in Nigeria may have papery come and gone, but the wounds inflicted on
different ethnic nationalities by masqueraded ethno-religious zealots wearing
the gown of unbiased electoral umpire can never heal in a hurry.
If extreme care is not taken, the wounds can transform into triggers, which in
turn, can snowball into a new generational militancy and insurgency in the
country including its oil rich zone. The injured and wounded ethnic
nationalities remain the minorities of the Southern Nigeria, the minorities of
the Northern Nigeria popularly called the Middle-Belt; the
Christian minorities of the North, the pastoralist Igbos and the
pastoralist minorities or Igbos and Southern minorities of the
Southwest and the Northern residency; and the Igbo nation. Below is the
public statement issued on 1st April 2015 by Mr. Asari Dokubo of the
suspended Niger Delta Volunteers Force, on behalf of the Southern Minorities
Self Determination Groups popularly called Niger Delta Militants.
It is important to point out here that we are not a party to violence or
insurrection in Nigeria or any part thereof, but fundamental issues Mr. Asari
Dokubo raised other than threat of insurrection or violence, are very appealing
to us.
