Asari Dokubo in protest march

Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, head of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, has said that armed struggle would be a last resort for his group if President Goodluck Jonathan did not take action in his native region within one year.

"We are on sabbatical," he said during the march in the oil hub of Port Harcourt, correcting someone who asked about his group having given up armed struggle.

"We are giving Goodluck a chance to make a difference to bring about change ... Goodluck does not have four years. He has one year."

He added that "armed struggle is a last resort."
