Former Niger
Delta militant, Alhaji Mujahid Asari- Dokubo, has incurred the wrath of some
leaders in the North over his statements that President Goodluck Jonathan has
already won the 2015 presidential election and threats that the country will be
on fire if he did not win.
At a news
conference in Abuja yesterday, one of the northern leaders and Patron of the
Middle Belt Forum, Ambassador Yohanna Margif, warned Asari-Dokubo to be
careful with his utterances, saying his statements were capable of setting in
more sentiments and crises that would not beneficial to the country.
He said
Asari-Dokubo’s threats to Nigerians over President Jonathan was a slap on the
faces of other Nigerians, noting that as much as he had the right to support
Jonathan for Presidency as a South- South militant, many other Nigerians too
had the right to do so for any of their candidate but should not be
threatened by Dokubo.
Calling on
President Jonathan to call Asari-Dokubo to order, the northern leader also
warned the former militant leaders to stop making inciting statement over the
general elections.
He said the
same Asari- Dokubo had declared early last year that the president had lost the
support of his political base, the South- South and the South-East due to the
failure of his government to deliver on its promises.

But when Buhari makes such statements its okay with the Northern People.
ReplyDeleteIn as much as I agree that Asari should be called to order, I believe the North is playing double standard and has no moral justification to ask the president to do so. During the 2011 elections, Buhari and other northern elements said the same thing and actually carried out their threat and the North found nothing wrong with it and allowed it to happen. None even condemned it. Today, that same moron on whose hands the blood of those innocent young Nigerians are upon is now being projected as the only messiah that can save this country. He will fail again as usual and this time other parts of this country will be ready for them. Nigeria will not disintegrate.
