ABUJA — Ahead of 2015 general elections, Northern youths engaged
former President of Ijaw Youth Congress (IYC) and Leader of the Niger
Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, in a
war of words over the re-election bid of President Goodluck Jonathan in
2015.
Dokubo had fired the first salvo while addressing a press conference
in Abuja as he declared that the Niger Delta region cannot guarantee
peace in Nigeria if President Jonath- an is not returned in 2015.
He also stated that after Jonathan’s presidency, the region will
resume claim to the resources in the oil-rich Niger-Delta, saying that
they are currently on sabbatical leave.
The Arewa youths, however, responded immediately warning Asari Dokubo
to desist from beating the drums of war over the re-election of
President Jonathan in 2015.
