The leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF) and the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Front (NDPSF), Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, has warned Boko Haram insurgents to desist from opposing President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term bid.
He spoke yesterday at a news briefing in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.
The groups urged politicians in the North not to use Boko Haram and other acts of terrorism to distract and frustrate the Jonathan administration.
They absolved Asari-Dokubo of complicity in the Kaduna bomb blast and told Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) to stop linking their leader to the incident.
The Akwa Ibom Zonal Leader of the NDPVF and NDPSF, Mr. Jones Ufot, said freedom fighters in the Niger Delta would support and defend the political and economic interest of the area, which, according to him, had been threatened by the North.
He enjoined northerners to reciprocate the support the Niger Delta gave their presidential candidates by backing President Jonathan for a second term.
His words: “We assure our brother, Mr. President, of our readiness to defend our own.
We are speaking the minds of our brothers and sisters in Akwa Ibom and our compatriot in the Niger Delta, who voted for him and are eager to do so again.”
