An erstwhile Niger Delta freedom fighter, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo has issued a stern warning to those behind the planned nationwide protest against hardship to forget about extending it to the Niger Delta.
Asari-Dokubo gave this warning on Tuesday in Port Harcourt at the Niger Delta Sensitisation Conference for Ethnic Nationalities, Youths, and Women’ with the theme ‘Come let us build together’.
He said that the agenda of those behind the protest was at variance with the problems of the people of the Niger Delta.
While alleging that the protest organizers were merely interested in the resources coming from the Niger Delta, describing them as ‘anarchist’s, Asari-Dokubo cautioned them to expect resistance.
“I and all those who believe in me and those of you who are committed to the interest of the Niger Delta, we are not going to be part of any protest. It is as clear as that.
“If anybody has the right to protest, I also have the right to resist protest. Where your right stops, that is where my right begins.
“I’m anti-protest. When our brother was here (making a veiled reference to Jonathan) they protested. Today, another of our brothers is here. They want to protest. That is the truth,” he said.
