Angered
by the arrest calls that trailed his comment, Monday, that peace will
elude Nigeria if President Goodluck Jonathan is not returned in 2015,
the Niger Delta frontline Activist and Leader of the Niger Delta
People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari has dared
the House of Representatives and the security agencies to arrest him if
they can muster the courage to do so.
The
former Governor of old Anambra state, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife opined
that arrests should start with people who had made similar comments in
the past.
Asari
who is the former President of Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) also said that
any attempt to arrest him will mark the end of Nigeria and called the
authorities coward if eventually the threat of his arrest was not
affected.
Speaking
in a Press Conference in Abuja Thursday, Asari said he does not bat an
eyelid over his previous comment on 2015, stressing that he stands by
his words that there will be no peace in the country if Jonathan is not
re-elected for a second term in office in 2015.
His
words: “I stand by my statement which I made in my early press
conference, there will be no peace, not only in the Niger Delta, but
everywhere, if Goodluck Jonathan is not president by 2015, and I want to
add that the Fulanis, who migrated and invaded our lands and continue
to show disregard and disrespect to the owners of the country they came
into, and people have tolerated them for a very long time will no longer
continue..”
