Former militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has said the last presidential election in Nigeria held on Saturday is an indication that the country is not united.
The poll was won by candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari and after the election, Buhari’s contender, President Goodluck Jonathan, after conceding defeat, called the president-elect to congratulate him on his victory.
Commenting on the election of Buhari as Nigeria’s next president, Dokubo noted that going by the results of each states of the federation announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the South-West and the North ganged up against Jonathan.
“The celebrated victory of Buhari is not the victory of the people but victory of regional conspiracy and supremacy. The voting partern has clearly shown that the Gambari North and the Yorubas are united in the conquest of the Niger Deltans and the Igbos of defunct Biafra with the middle belt now used as pawns,” a statement issued by the ex-militant’sspokesperson, Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro, disclosed.
Dokubo added that, “Nigerian union clearly reinforces the fact of self determination and that Nigeria remains a very divided and separated entity whose claim to unity remains a fraud of gargantuan proportion.”
“The victory of Muhammadu Buhari is a historical reminder that we are a conquered people who are mere appendages existing at the pleasure of the supremacist and the regional overlords.
“We remain a people separated by our ideologies and interests, we are not integrated nor reconciled,” said the statement.
Dokubo described Jonathan as an “establishment 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. Yes 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.
