A former Niger-Delta militant, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, says with the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan, he and other militants might be forced to ‘return to creeks.’

The ex~militant, who hails from the same state as Jonathan, said the
voting pattern showed that the South-West and the North ganged up
again the South-South and South-East geo-political zone.
The niger delta ex-militant said in a statement by his spokesperson,
Rex Anighoro, that it was unfair that the minorities were being
emasculated by the majority ethnic groups.
Dokubo said he feared that the government of the President-elect,
Muhammadu Buhari, would be vicious.
He said, "The conditions that advanced the need to embrace the creeks
have been sadly re-energised, it is clear that a vicious government
who may maim and murder the voice of the so called minorities may have
just been birthed.
"Indeed integration is nonexistent as regional gang ups and supremacy
is symbolic with this victory."
The ex-militant, who had in January said he and his colleagues would
wreak havoc if Jonathan lost, praised the President for being a true
statesman.
He said it was the struggle of the militants that led to the Jonathan
presidency.
He said since the South-South had lost the presidency, ex-militants
would meet to decide the next line of action.
Dokubo said, "While President Jonathan enjoys his moments and basks in
the euphoria of a now world renowned statesman having congratulated
Muhammadu Buhari, we must quickly be reminded that our struggle was
never about Jonathan or about the presidency.
Jonathan was a beneficiary of our struggle, our sweat and blood that
many bled and died for, he was never in the struggle and he can never
wish away our collective march forward for statesmanship.
Indeed to an extent he was a mitigating factor in self determination
pursuit as we went on sabbatical, this mitigation he seem to have
willingly repudiated. The days coming will be critical, we shall study
all the conditions and consult widely before determining the way going
forward for our collective existence and survival as a people. The
days coming shall either drive the quest of integration or further
tear us.
