Force, NDPSF/NDPVF, led by Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, has described
General Muhammadu Buhari's victory in the presidential election as a
conspiracy by the North and South-West against the Niger Delta,
South-East and Middle Belt geo-political regions.
Similarly, a Niger Delta activist, Mr. Austin Ozobo, has said that the
just concluded presidential election was a manipulation and a scam
against President Goodluck Jonathan and people of the Niger Delta by a
section of the country.
Ozobo said in Warri, yesterday: "What happened was that they
submitted cooked up results from their bedrooms to favour their Muslim
brother, Gen. Buhari and Independent National Electoral Commission,
INEC chairman, Professor Jega was evidently biased in his assignment.
"We can no longer exist in a country full of injustice and
manipulation. We are tired of being called infidels and second-class
citizens. Every successive president in this country was given the
privilege to rule two terms but our turn was different.
"Why was that same privilege not extended to us? We have been cheated
and that is very dangerous. Since independence, Jonathan's tenure is
the first time we have produced a president in this country and he has
been barred from a second term. This is callous."
NDPSF/NDPVF in a statement by Mr Rex Anighoro, said: "It is not a
victory of the people, but a victory of regional conspiracy and
supremacy. It clearly reinforces the fact of self determination and
the truth that Nigeria remains a very divided and separated entity
whose claim to unity remains a fraud of gargantuan proportion.
"The voting pattern has clearly shown that the Hausa/Fulani 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. We
remain a people separated by our ideologies and interests. We are not
integrated or reconciled.
"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 are symbolic with this victory."
