Asari Dokubo Moves to Collect 1m Signatures For FG to Begin Secession of Igbos From Nigeria

Former Niger Delta militant Asari Dokubo says he will lead a march supporting the Igbos’ bid to secede from Nigeria with over a million signatories from Nigerians across the country to the National Assembly.

He made the remarks in an Instagram video recorded and shared by Koikimedia via its Twitter handle on Thursday.

“Please, President Ahmed Tinubu, I am going to write to the signatories of over one million people all over Nigeria and march to the National Assembly to allow the Igbos to go,” stated Mr Dokubo in the video, which had over 58,000 views.

Mr Dokubo’s remarks came after a recent visit to Mr Tinubu in Abuja, where he told reporters that freeing Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), would be equal to rewarding criminality.

In the video, the former Niger Delta militant urged Mr Tinubu and the National Assembly to ensure a constitutional amendment for the smooth exit of the Igbos.

“We do not even need a referendum,” said Mr Dokubo. “The president should meet the National Assembly, and somebody courageous enough to sponsor a bill at the National Assembly, there should be a constitutional amendment to allow the Igbos to go.”

Dele Alake, the president’s spokesman, did not respond to Peoples Gazette’s request for comments on the matter.

Although Article 2 of the constitution is against secession, Mr Dokubo argued that it would serve as a cleansing action of the entire country.

Is this outburst the outcome of his inglorious visit to the  Aso Rock Villa?  The idiot  tends to forget  to free his South South people from the shackles of slavery.

If he can do that, I will for once be grateful to him.
