The Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force and the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Front(NDPVF/NDPSF) on Friday , in Port Harcourt ,refuted the rumours linking its leader, Alhaji Dokubo Asari with the recent Kaduna bomb attack on the convoy of former head of state , Gen. Mumammadu Buhari .
Alhaji Dokubo Asari
Asari is currently in Mecca , Saudi Arabia , observing the annual islamic rites, But addressing newsmen on Friday , members of the Fronts , led by its chairman, Comrade Aladiokuma Hart, challenged peddlers of such rumour to come out openly instead of using the press as grapevine, warning that such rumour mongers should be prepared to prove their allegation with facts and figures when called upon to do so.
” The recent rumour that our national leader masterminded the bombing in Kaduna that almost killed a former head of state of Nigeria, is a fabricated lie from the pit of hell by people looking for cheap popularity and who want to discredit our leader and slander his image”, they said, adding that Asari can not involve in such indecent act.
Insisting that Asari had never killed or attacked an innocent soul or collaborated with any vagabond to attack any individual, as the Boko haram sect has been doing, the members of NDPVF/NDPSF said that it is heinous for anyone to attribute such an unholy act to their leader when he is praying and fasting in the holy month of Ramadam.
The body said that Asari is a freedom fighter who has noble back ground with impeccable credentials that include of NURSS, Vice president of Amir Muslim Students’ Society(MSS), Vice President, President ,Ijaw Youth Council (IYC),leader ACN, and leader, NDPVF/NDPSF.
Describing the rumour peddlers as ”drowning people looking for what to clutch at in their failed mission”, it said that it was aware that they tried it with the Chibok Girls , tried in the Republic of Benin when our leader was going about his legitimate business and failed and are now with another scam in their bid to keep Asari out of 2015”.
”We know your plans, it will not work. shame on you . He is crying foul today, he is the same person that generated the Boko Haram sect. He Promised to make Nigeria and also promised blood bathe in 2015. He should stop seeking public sympathy and allow peace to reign in the North. As an elder statesman, he should be thinking of a better Nigeria instead of destroying it.
The body pointed finger at Buhari, warning, ” we use this forum to state categorically that with all these happenings, scams and blackmails originating from Buhari and his cohorts, if anything happens to the president or our leader , Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari or any Niger the son, reprisal action will turn dark clouds in Nigeria”.
