...For a better society... Monday, July 19 2004 Vol 17 No.131 News Editorial Opinion Labour Politics Sports Features Columnists Arts/Entertaiments Business Money/Market Energy Alaba Market Interview Niger Delta group disowns militia leader CONGRESS of Niger Delta Youths (CNDY), an amalgamation of all youth bodies in the Niger Delta, has disowned Alhaji Asari Dokubo, a self-style militia leader claiming to be fighting for the welfare of Niger Deltans. A statement signed by the CNDY president, Mr. Mfon Joe Etukudoh, expressed support for the police’s determination to arrest and prosecute Alhaji Dokubo, who is described as an alleged "notorious criminal and cultist" already declared wanted by the police. "We categorically dissociate ourselves from the activities of the alleged cultist, Asari Dokubo and of course, disowned him and all those associated with him. "For the avoidance of doubt, the Ijaw Youth Congress (IYC), Ijaw National Congress (INC) and Congress of Niger Delta Youths (CNDY) are legitimate vehicles for the promotion of change with the objective to seek through dialogue, the economic and political development of the people of Niger Delta who have suffered deprivation and degradation as a result of oil exploration and exploitation over several decades," the statement said. Stating that the listed organisations are not militant, CNDY said they will resist any attempt by Asari Dokubo and his cohorts to cloth us in the "colour" of a militia." "The Ijaw nation and indeed the good people of Niger Delta are very decent and organised people. The president of the Ijaw National Congress (INC), Prof. Kimse Okoko is very responsible and co-ordinated. We will therefore, as future leaders of not only the Niger Delta but the Nigerian nation not allow miscreants to smear our great image built and nurtured by our founding fathers," CNDY stated. The group said it will join the leadership of the parliamentary caucus from the Niger Delta of the House of Representatives to advise the people of the region, Nigerians, international community and all men of goodwill to ignore the antics of the rejected leader. � 2004 @ Champion Newspapers Limited (All Right Reserved).
