Biafran Group, MASSOB Fires Back At Asari Dokubo

 

Pro-Biafra group, the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) on Wednesday tackled former Niger Delta militants’ leader, Asari Dokubo over his latest remark against the Igbo people.

The group in a statement released by Uchenna Madu, the head of MASSOB, stated that despite reportedly conducting errands for Yoruba, Hausa, and Fulani people, Dokubo could never be considered a hero in Nigeria.

SaharaReporters had reported that Dokubo after visiting President Bola Tinubu on Friday in Aso Rock Villa warned the President against releasing Nnamdi Kanu, who has spent two years in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).

Also in a viral video on Wednesday, Dokubo had further threatened the Igbo tribe and also brandished an AK-47 rifle.

Reacting to Dokubo’s statement, MASSOB under the leadership of Uchenna Madu, described his statement as a “ranting of a frustrated criminal.”

The statement reads: “In the traditional history of conquest, warfare and bravery, of Ndigbo and Ijaw people, it is on record that Ijaw people with their allies have never achieved 7% of the conquest, dominion and domination of what Ndigbo have achieved both in pre-colonial era and in this modern era.

“Asari Dokubo in his bourgeois stupidity forgets that it was Ndigbo that stopped the British colonial rulers from changing and deleting the native names and cultural heritages of Ijaw people during the conquest of the British colonial adventure.

“How can a prodigal son whose known grandfather with some kinsmen from Abam  town in Abia state of Igbo land conquered Dokubo Asari’s Kalahari community where he is still claiming his origination will turn and say that the Kalahari community, Ndigbo conquered and still dominating their economic and social lives is our master.

“Dokubo Asari has once again proved his low mentality and puff puff nature. That Ijaw people are neighbours to Ndigbo and that Ndigbo treat them as brothers and sisters does not warrant competing with Ndigbo in every spheres of life both nationally and globally. Even the Hausas, Yorubas and Fulanis generally see the Ijaw people as extension of Ndigbo from Eastern region.

“MASSOB reminds Dokubo Asari that no amount of his loyalty and erand boyish services to Yoruba, Hausa and Fulanis of biased Nigeria will make him a hero or accord him celebrated recognition because the federal government hates ijaws more than Ndigbo.”
