From Femi Folaranmi, Yenagoa

Ex-agitators, leaders and stakeholders from the six states of the Niger Delta region under the auspices of Niger Delta Advocate for Peace And Good Governance Group, (NDAPGGG) have commended the leader of the defunct Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, Alhaji Mujahid Asari, for standing for the Niger Delta region on issues of injustice and oppression.

NDAPGGG, during a meeting held in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital convened by ex-militant leader, Comrade Fiawei Pathfinder, also known as General Osama; Secretary, Comrade Dr AK Peters and National Woman Leader, Comrade Bridget Eyimosaon, described Alhaji Asari who clocked 60 as the acceptable face of the Niger Delta struggle in the quest of resource control and emancipation of the Niger Delta people.

General Osama while addressing newsmen after the meeting, said the personality of Alhaji Asari is a symbol of a universal freedom fighter following the footsteps of Nelson Madiba Mandela of South Africa, the Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew and many more global freedom fighters who stood firmly in the liberation of nations and their people.

“Mujahid Dokubo Asari, The Ediabali of Kalabari kingdom is known to be a fearless, dogged, outspoken, courageous, and defender of the Ijaw ethnic nationality and by extension the Niger Delta region, a patriot and force to reckon with in the Nigerian state as a whole. Therefore, we deemed it necessary to honour our own leader who is always at the forefront in agitating for the right and privileges of the Niger Delta people.

“We see him as a beacon of hope for liberation of the Niger Delta people in the agitation for resource control and an icon of true federalism even at 60 years. He has never lost the vision and strong believe in the struggle for the holistic emancipation of the entire Niger Delta region.”
