comments in the past.
Speaking in a Press Conference in Abuja Thursday, Asari said he does not bat an eyelid over his previous comment on 2015, stressing that he stands by his words that there will be no peace in the country if Jonathan is not re-elected for a second term in office in 2015.
His words: “I stand by my statement which I made in my early press conference, there will be no peace, not only in the Niger Delta, but everywhere, if Goodluck Jonathan is not president by 2015, and I want to add that the Fulanis, who migrated and invaded our lands and continue to show disregard and disrespect to the owners of the country they came into, and people have tolerated them for a very long time will no longer continue.”
The former President of Ijaw Youth Council also added that any attempt to arrest him would make Nigeria “a history”, asking why those calling for his arrest turned deaf ears when some northern leaders like former Military Head of State Maj.-Gen Mohamadu Buhari, Alhaji Lawal Kaita and a former member of the House of Representatives, Farouk Aliyu, among others.
“I want to refresh your memories with
comments made by these northerners, who had in the time past threatened
war and break-up of Nigeria.
“In 2010, one Lawal Kaita said and I
quote: ‘Anything short of a Northern President is tantamount to stealing
our Presidency. Jonathan has to go and he will go. Even if he uses the
incumbency power to get his nomination on the platform of the PDP, he
would be frustrated out…The North is determined, if that happens, to
make the country ungovernable for President Goodluck Jonathan or any
other Southerner who finds his way to the seat of power on the platform
of the PDP against the principle of the party’s zoning policy’.
“Today insurgent groups, in furtherance
to Kaita’s call a’re wreaking havoc, attacking military barracks and
seizing weapon, but we will not sit and watch. Kaita made this
statement, nobody arrested or call for the arrest of this fellow, today
he is walking free.
“Buhari made this statement in 2011, he
was never arrested and nobody ever called for his arrest. In other
countries, former leaders are being tried, but here, a man who overthrew
a legitimate government, continues to threaten us with blood and
nothing has happened.”
He added, “I am not afraid of arrest. I
am saying it bold and clear without mincing words, that the
consequences of my arrest, Nigeria will be history.
“The last time Obasanjo arrested me, my
arrest reduced Nigeria oil production to 700,000 barrels per day. This
time, it will reduce it to zero barrel, and we will match violence with
violence, intrigues with intrigues. We are ready for them. Goodluck
Jonathan will complete his tenure of two terms, whether they like it or
not.
“I am daring them to arrest me if they can. If they don’t, they are cowards and shame on them.”

now where do we go from here? this is not the first time someone will make this sort of statement and we are witnessing the outcome. I think a call for sovereign national conference is in order. maybe we should agitate for this...OGE
ReplyDeleteLuk here asari or wateva nonsense u cal urslf mak ur body no dy decieve u, u go die lik fowl, u strong pass abacha, wey die lik fool, see my frnd return bak al d moni badluck jonathan hav given u for am empty tret cos he is goin no were, he is d worst presidnt so far. U al ar idiots
ReplyDeleteEvery enemies of peace in Nigeria die by fireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
ReplyDeleteBuhari and Atiku has not been arrested. Asiri is saying the truth since the northerns believe that power to rule belong to them. From the blast of the government of Goodluck administration the north has never given him chance to rule. So what are we talking about
ReplyDeleteU are saing nonsense just bcaus u ve the backing of Oga @ the top, when the time comes u will see that u are a Very BIG 4 Nothing.
ReplyDeleteIt seems Asari Dokubo is de dullest fool nigeria ever had. His word '' How will i pray 4 nigeria 2 disintegrate while one of my wife is fulani by tribe'' who INVADE who? Divorce ur ''fulani'' wife first,b4 ur kick ur inlaws. Gaula!

ReplyDeleteU are mad
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why we fuss over what Adari said and not the endless fulfilled threats that northerners have made and executed. One rule for all please.
ReplyDeleteU guys that are talking against asari are fools bcos buhari has said it before and nothing has happen to him so why arresting him.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm. This guy, know let bokoharam catch you.as u fat like mumu
ReplyDeleteGEJ abroget Oil block because the proceeds are used to fun Boko Haran in the North and purchase sophisticated weapons to kill innocent people.
ReplyDeleteIt is better, the Northerner return to North and worship their God b/cos they have funished killing the southerners in the North. Instead of occupying the South pretending to belong to one Nigeria-evil race in Nigeria
No body will arest U, Asari, if the Reps and Northern leader insinuate that Let them first arest Buhari that said Nigeria will be ungovernable if he looses an election since he made that statement CPC attack and kill innocent Youth corpers from South who were serving at Northern Nigeria and followed by BOKO HARAN causing insecurity in the country today.Secondly,arrest Babagida and OBJ who have dared FG severally and nothing is done. No National Constitutional conference will resolve this problem By 2015 there will be no more one Nigeria rather two Nigeria( Northern and Southern Nigeria)-Do not say I told U.
ReplyDeleteU will only be foolish if u say Buhari made the same statement. Buhari did not make the same statement as made by this illiterate. He was warning againts rigging which is the very ill that brought GEJ into power. If his election is not rigged and looses, there will be no problem. But this foolish ijaw man is saying if GEJ is not 're-elected', there ll be no peace. This is a threat to voters and not to riggers as said by Buhari so it shouldn't be taken with bread.
ReplyDeleteIf u are not an illiterate, u will be able to read in between the lines of the two statements-Buhari's and asari's and see the difference. Buhari made an intelligent statement based on facts that's why the FG did not and can not arrest or hold him responsible ever. Asari is just a foolish illiterate militant that can't be compared to the General.
ReplyDeleteGod help us from all this evil forces
ReplyDelete4get asari na mumu dey worry him may be him don take drugs
ReplyDeleteBut I agree wit him, such comments have been made in the past and nothing happened. So he can make his own and go scot free.
ReplyDeleteAm a muslim, what boko haram is doing is un islamic, is against Islam, Jonathan in his campaign he has a very gud agenda for this Country, but, he allowed him self to be used by the so called PDP, we shld stop blaming mr president, but he need to stand as a president and CEO of this country, let's stop insulting each other let have one voice, PDP is the only problem we are having in this country. GOD bless Nigeria (AMEEN) Am yahaya muhammed Nasiru
ReplyDeletePlease let Nigeria be divided into how many, I don't care. we have all tried been one Nigeria for 50smthn years and it didn't work. instead of all these killings everyday, the northerners should just own their own country and rule themselves. taking of human lives is just like killing chicken to them! folks think about it!
ReplyDeleteIf everybody has equal right then everybody can make similar statement n get arrested or not. To some extent I see a sense in what Asari is sayin. D intimidation on GEJ is almost gettin out of hand. He shld be givin a fair judgment. Nigeria tday will be difficult for any Nigerian to rule cuz we compromise a lot as Nigerians. I thnk d best is for Nigeria is disintegration cuz d north n south hav proved to be of different people. Unless dis is achieved dis problem will continue. May God help Nigeria.
ReplyDeletewe all need to be sincere, buhari, started it all...lets call a spade a spade...if you see the tactics, with which these so called leaders used, you would see they just want to fault GEJ administration, and has taken too too far... lets all tread carefully... Asari is only angry....
ReplyDeleteGod will continue to help us that don't have power to fight you people ....revolution will end this great nation.
ReplyDeleteOnly in Nigeria do some assholes see themselves as being above the law. By now, this dumbass ought to be in the dungeon. Imagine the effrontery! Daring the IGP & House of Reps! Is he greater than the country as a whole? If this Dog is not checked now, a lot of others of his type will arise soon.
ReplyDeleteWhy do we want revolution to end this great nation!!!prediction will not come to pass IJN .
ReplyDeleteexcellent issues altogether, you just received a new reader.
ReplyDeleteWhat may you suggest in regards to your submit that you simply made some days ago?
Any sure?

The Problem with our Nigerians is that we always attack persons instead of attacking the issues at stake. The Northern Nigerians who had occupied most of Nigerian leadership position had never meant well for this country and have always felt that leadership is their birth right. Everybody knows that they are all out to frustrate GEJ. Mr. Asari is only warning against using force to unseat our president not threatening. Also people should stop insulting the office of the president because their tribal persons are not occupying the exalted position. When it is time for GEJ to leave, he will surely leave but those that are ready to battle with him in 2015 should go and do their home work instead of propaganda and causing more harm to the battered country.
ReplyDeleteBuhari made this kind of statement before and was not arrested, so why the call for Asari arrest? Nigeria is a free country where anybody can make any threat and go free.
ReplyDeleteAll de comments u people made are not helpful 2 bring peace 2 dis country. Some of u ar just telling us how good u ar @ writin, but never profer solution 2 de problems @ stake. I wld rather suggest an advocate 4 fervent prayers 2 seek devine intervention.
ReplyDeleteSomebody said,Buhari made an intelligent threatning statement which of course led to the emergency of Boko Haram activities; and this indicates country the state of the
ReplyDeleteThat's what happens when we give so much attention to nonentities like Asari.
ReplyDeleteGovernment will have to arrest Buhari for Boko Haram activities before she proceed to arrest Asari. QED
ReplyDeleteMost Nigerian are not reasonable, why are they attacking Asari who just said what others have been saying or is it because he's from Niger-Delta.why can't they start with Buhari and those Northern leaders who promised to make this administration ungovernable and they are doing it. Asari know yea this day that we the youths of Niger-Delta are behind you.
ReplyDeleteFelow nigerians l greet u all. I am forced to say sometin at dis point. Buhari, Banagida, Atiku, Kaita and d northern elders have at one tym threatened the peace of this nation and nobody call dem to order. Today you can see dia actions tru d bokoharamis. Now if any attempt is made on d life of Asari, Tambuwal and his felow criminals will have their fingers to lick
ReplyDeleteASARI tell them let dos who hav ear hear. As for d lG let him advice himself. Nama is a meat anyday. We are watching.....Gen..TDK
What is he feeling like, he must be very stupid for making such utterance. A president that is not moving the nation forward does not deserve a second term. am sure the naijadeltans are teeming up, another group for disaster in this country. they started it, and it seems thats what the threat is all about.
ReplyDeleteTempers flaring, words flying like daggers, air thick with threats, a highly volatile and supercharged situation and in my little experience there is just two possible solution to situations as this. You wanna know?
ReplyDeleteWell to me Buhari did not make an intelligent speach, he's speech was not as different as what Asari had said. A threat is a threat. Pls leave Asari alone.
ReplyDeletetill now nobody has ever mention or quote word to word What Gen BUHARI said, only to blackmail him just because PDP has no opponent bigger than him. No amount of blackmail will defeat him this time around. Buhari say no to corruption, election rigging and resistance to both, he said vote , stand and let your vote be counted, make sure what is counted is what is announced. he never advocated killing or violence anywhere. if there is please quote for record. If you can discipline yourself about wealth and women you will definitely be like BUHARI. Many govt has tried to nail him, but he has no bad record hence only blackmail. it is all over for PDP and their Boko haram.
ReplyDeleteTempers will soon die down, dey wil soon ask of NAMA frm north an de north wil ask of petrol, de war wll den b over an dey b brodas again if not Gideon Okkas' formula should b applied, what do u say?
ReplyDeleteShould the issue of 2015 come up now? NO. Has GEJ fulfilled the promises he made to Nigerians? NO. These Politicians, are they fighting for Nigerians or for their pockets? For their pockets. Is it not patriotic leaders that should place their people's interest first? It is. Will a sensitive government place more burden on their suffering masses? NO. This is not time for sentiment, its time to fight against all the evil forces in Nigeria, all our leaders have failed us. THAT IS OUR PROBLEM
ReplyDeleteSo this windbag, illiterate blood sucker is still hungry for more blood. Let him come back to Niger Delta and see if he will live for a week. He will be gunned down in revenge for the innocents blood he shed for a struggle that favour only him and his fellow murderers. Go back to school, you fool.
ReplyDeletepeople y re u all fighting? make dem kuku seperate d country na abi? seh every body go like am na, @least Northerns go hold their land n eat frm it, Southerns go hold dia land n eat frm it, and eastherns go do d same, mk we see d last man standing. no be new thing oo, we av North n south Korea many more, so North n south Nigeria no go bad na abi? instead of fighting n killin our selves. but one message be say Wateva u sow(ie do, support, accept, love, endure etc) in life u reap
ReplyDeleteI just want 2 ask if Asari is tru muslem or likes 2 b called Alh.Becos he sounds like B/H, I also tink he is of de same stuff. Let him not decieve us b/cos when GEJ was VP he made de country ungovernable, so what is de news here?
ReplyDeleteJuma'at kareem. Pls can some 1 help me 2 remind me of AZAZI! What did he said about de ''biggest'' threat in Africa,i mean PDP. Lol! We missed de road already. U only need Buhari 2 save de situation. General has said it once ''JIKI MAGAYI'' Meaning every one will taste it. Sulaiman kurami.
ReplyDeleteAsari, u ar a muslem am I right? We'll u must also b a B/H whose intension is 2 kil as many as dare gods can direct dem. May refresh ur memory dat when GEJ was V/P u an ur boz did not allow dis country 2 hv peace; so what is de news about ur threat of peace. It is u dat wil loose de good things in life. We hv never been happy in life bcos of de likes of u, so go jump 2 hell fire if u wish.
ReplyDeleteas far as Nigeria is concern,say whatever u like,u are free indeed,if they want to start arrest,they start, from Buhari and co.
ReplyDeleteWhat I will say at this point is, let the military be warming up..
ReplyDeleteas far as Nigeria is concern,say whatever u like,u are free indeed,if they want to start arrest,they start, from Buhari and co.
ReplyDeleteI dont no why some of you fools from the south south,east,south west dat claim to be learned can not jst come out or point out a single statement made from gen buhari or one of the northern elders dat can be compare to dokubo‘s foolish ultrances.pls u idiots should quote out and make refference as where or in which of d madia he made such statement.you ppl re jst makin a rubbish talk bcos u hv some bunch of drunks nd senseless ppl ln corridor of power dat re in ur favour‘s
ReplyDeleteDis Asari knows how 2 bark like toothless dog. Any way he mihgt b right! Why shld Buhari an his cohort make such reckless statement in de past? D future is unknown, now dey hav thrown de country in mess, how can dey den rule de country u hv set on fire
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 3:59am.everione is entitiled to their own opinion. If e dey pain you too much,kill urself
ReplyDeleteWho says our problem is our leaders?
ReplyDeleteGuys let's be sincere, with all these comments I can see that Nigerians (I mean the governed), we are our problem, because these sentiments are exactly the reasons why our leaders have always succeeded while failing us.
How can U call someone an iliterate when u r one? Our leaders know that the only weapon that will destroy them is our unity, and that is why each time they give us something to make us battle ourselves, and like cats and dogs we follow.
BH will destroy any country it belongs to, so they are enemies of Nigeria and not North alone.
Greedy insurgents are everywhere, call it militants, Mend, BakaSsi, or those in the west. And these are tools that the politicians have always used to divide us and cause chaos in the country.
In my opinion, even the division of this country cannever solve the problem of any quota, but only our unity can. So let's stop quarelling, this is our time, let's not allow them to use sentiments to fool us in 2015, being patriotic means a lot, it starts from ur home. All Nigerians are one and we can only triumph if we begin to see our brothers' problems as ours'
May God (in His Infinite Mercies) bless Nigeria and give us the knowledge and understanding to defeat the enemy! Ameen.

killings of the innocents in the north by the northerners did not start with GEJ administration. You remember kano civil crises of 1990, Bauchi crisis of 1991. Muslim fundamentalists, at the slightest provocation- even when they are not provoked by fellow Nigerians-take to violence and kill fellow Nigerians. When US rolled their amour tanks to overthrow sadam Hussein, it sparked off violence in some part of the north. Someone elsewhere outside Nigeria would make unpleasant remark against Islam, they would take knife and cut someone's throat in Nigeria. I suggest the convocation of sovereign National Conference. Two cannot work together except they agree.
