Ex-Niger-Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has disagreed with the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) over his mandate to boycott the 2019 general elections in the southeast and the south-south region.
Dokubo made his views known in a six minutes video which surfaced on the social media on Monday.
Kanu has over the weekend implored IPOB members in the two zones to boycott the general elections in order to press their case for a Biafra referendum.
However, Dokubo advised that obeying the call for a boycott could be suicidal since it means those who are opposed to the Biafran idea could frustrate the struggles of the people.
His words: “Fellow Biafrans and compatriots, our goal is the freedom of our motherland. It is not about the celebration and deification of individuals.
“It is not about the appropriation of our collective struggle by an individual, group of individuals or an organisation. The Biafra struggle is for the freedom of all Biafrans.
“How can you give resources to empower the hands of the enemies of our struggle? I am not from Anambra state but if we had gone to vote in Anambra, Obiano would not be there (as governor).
“Obiano is an enemy of our people. Today he has sold our land to General Muhammadu Buhari or his double that is in Aso Rock because I do not believe the man in Aso Rock is General Muhammadu Buhari.
“When people tell us the truth, we don’t want to accept. We want to impose our will which is not working and is anti-our people.
“We frighten our people, run away from soldiers, we run away from occupation forces, we run away from police. Why would we do that? Who are we deceiving?
“Finally, no outsider can give us freedom. They have not done it anywhere. It is we, with our own show of valour and commitment that can give us freedom.”
