Biafra: You’re Mere Attention Seeker, Wike Slams Asari-Dokubo

The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has mocked the declaration by ex-Niger Delta militant, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, that he leads the new Biafra Defacto Customary Government.
He said Asari-Dokubo was a publicity stunt desperately in need of attention as he was not even of Igbo extraction.
Wike said, “I have not responded to Asari because I don’t want to give him publicity. Let us see the people he has.
“There are issues that I don’t want to discuss, and Asari is one of them. Asari works for the government today, tomorrow; he comes and abuses the Federal Government.
“He accused me and my (Ikwerre) ethnic group that we are Igbos, that we do not have oil wells. He is Ijaw, Ijaw is not Igbo, how will he claim what is for the Igbos?”
Wike, during an interview with Channels TV, last Wednesday night, said the ex-agitator has not been at the limelight for quite a while, and that he was trying to gain publicity.
He argued that Asari was achieving that as Nigerians were trying to give publicity to things that did not matter.
Also, the Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area, Engr Samuel Nwanosike, also described Asari-Dokubo as a rabble-rouser, empty and attention seeker.
According to Nwanosike, “I heard one young man says he’s a former militant. He said his name is Asari-Dokubo, a compound illiterate that doesn’t know where he comes from.
“He had the tenacity to come and say that Nyesom Wike is building 10 bridges that have no economic benefits for Rivers people. It’s only an illiterate that will talk about flyover, that it’s an economic waste. He has just fooled himself to the world; Asari-Dokubo has just fooled himself.”
