Asari Dokubo is a joker seeking attention – FG

The Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed has described the move by Asari Dokubo, a Niger-Delta political figure as a theatre of the absurd by a joker seeking attention.” This is coming after the statement by Asari on Sunday declaring himself as the new leader of a Biafra Customary Government.

Lai Mohammed made this statement during a press briefing in Lagos, saying President Muhammadu Buhari would not be distracted by such.

“I am sure you have heard of the absurd, that is the best way I can describe it. If Asari Dokubo wants to form and run a fathom government, I think he is free to do so. This administration will not be distracted because we still have a lot to do. We are not ready to give any attention or time to a joker like Dokubo who is just looking for attention. We will just take it as one of these entertainment things. The beauty of Nigeria is that it is never a dull country, you must have one thing or the other to entertain you’’.

Asari Dokubo had announced himself as the new leader of  Biafra Customary Government with the names of some other leaders from various regions in the country, saying the new government would take care of all security challenges.

The announcement was made in a statement by one of the leaders of the new Biafra government, Uche Mefor, Head of Information and Communication, saying “nobody can stop us as they did in the first war.”

While spelling out the agenda for the new Biafra Republic, he said;

“We as people have resolved that as Biafra, it’s time for us to take our destiny in our hands and bring freedom to ourselves and our children and the generation of Biafrans yet unborn. My first act today in taking this position is to name those who would be on the driver’s seat to navigate through this period of tempest, this period of uncertainty with me. I want to call on our brother, George Onyibe to come on board to join as the secretary of the de facto customary government of the State of Biafra. He will take care of the administrative, day-to-day administration of the Biafra State. I also call on our brother Emeka Emeka Esiri to take care of the legal needs of this nascent government.”

Further speaking, he said the new Biafran government would not go to war with anyone, hence won’t be stopped by anyone.

He said; “Nobody can stop us. Nobody can blockade us as they did in the first war. We’re not going to fight any war with anybody, we’re walking to freedom,” 

We will not shoot any gun with them, they will prepare their weapon but they will have nobody to kill with their weapon.”

Also, the Media and Publicity Secretary of the indigenous Biafra Movement, Emma Powerful, said the group is not against anyone declaring Biafra.

“We’re not against anybody declaring Biafra. Biafra is for everybody and not for one person alone. It’s a collective demand; so, we are not against him or any person who will declare so in the future.”
