Former Niger Delta militant, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo has been warned by the Arewa Consultative Forum and the Yoruba Unity Forum for threatening to return to the creeks with his boys following the defeat of his kinsman President Goodluck Jonathan in the just concluded Presidential election in the country.
Asari-Dokubo on Wednesday threaten to return to the creek with other militants because the North and South-West Geo-political zone in the country gang up to defeated President Goodluck Jonathan who hails from South-South.
However, the ACF and the Yoruba Unity Forum in separate interviews Punch corespondents on Thursday, described Asari-Dokubo’s statement as unfortunate, calling on the former militant to retract his statement and immediately apologise to Nigerians.

He said “It is an unfortunate statement, and I am sure he is suffering from the loss of his party. Very soon, he will recover and apologise to the nation for saying so. He is on his own because even the Ijaw National Congress and other groups have already congratulated the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
“Asari Dokubo cannot be different. I just advise him to reconsider his statement and apologise to Nigerians.”

He said, “Those threatening violence are on their own and I am sure that law enforcement agents will be ready to arrest and prosecute them. If they do anything stupid, the laws are there to take care of them.
“But let me advice them, this is a new Nigeria and people are hoping for the best. All hands must be on deck to help the government to succeed. Let them think twice before they do anything foolish.”
