President of the Coastal Dwellers Association of West Africa, Arch Tom Inko-Tariah, has described as untrue and mischievous representations in the media space that Alhaji Mujahid Abubakar Dokubo-Asari, champion of Resource control and minority rights is against the present protests in Nigeria.
According to Arch Tariah, mischief makers on social media cut, pasted, and edited a lengthy speech given by the Alabo Edi Abali of Kalabari Kingdom at a recent NDDC event in Port Harcourt to provide a different connotation.
In a statement issued by Arch Tom Inko Tariah, the President of the Coastal Dwellers Association of West Africa, said that claims suggesting that Alhaji Mujahid Abubakar Dokubo-Asari, the prominent advocate for minority rights in the Niger Delta is wrong, he stressed that Dokubo-Asari known for his lifelong dedication to fighting for the people cannot change at this stage of his life,
Tariah highlighted Dokubo-Asari’s unwavering commitment to standing by the people and fighting for justice and equality throughout his career. He noted that while Dokubo-Asari may have expressed concerns about the potential for violence and chaos during the protests, his stance is rooted in a desire to uphold democratic principles and prevent any destabilisation of the country.
He said, ‘‘Alhaji Mujahid Abubakar Dokubo-Asari has always been a champion for the rights of the marginalised communities in the Niger Delta and beyond. His focus has been on addressing systemic injustices and promoting peaceful resolutions to grievances,” Tariah stated. “It is crucial to understand that his concerns lie not with the legitimate grievances of the protesters but with the dangers of anarchy and attempts to subvert the democratic process through unconstitutional means.”
