Gen. Babangida was alleged to have described Asari-Dokubo’s threats as insulting to eminent leaders on the seven-man panel headed by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Asari-Dokubo at the weekend threatened violence should President Jonathan be stopped from contesting in 2015.
There was, however, pressure on Gen. Babangida last night to have a rethink.
Also, barring last-minute change of mind, some members of the Kawu Baraje faction of the PDP may be expelled from the party by the Bamanga Tukur faction.
The Tukur faction may dissolve State Executive Committees of the PDP in five states and hand the party structures to those loyal to President Goodluck Jonathan.
The states are Kwara, Kano, Jigawa, Sokoto, and Adamawa.
Babangida is said to be uncomfortable that while eminent leaders were making peace, Asari-Dokubo was threatening violence.
A top source, who spoke in confidence with our correspondent last night, said: “Babangida was upset by the alleged reckless comments from Asari Dokubo. He was also shocked that no one has called the ex-militant leader to order.
“The former Head of State may pull out of the ongoing peace talks instead of allowing anyone to mess up his efforts.
“There is however pressure on him to ignore Asari-Dokubo’s threats or comments because he is not one of the parties to PDP crisis.
“The next 24 to 48 hours may determine Babangida’s position.”
Some members of the Kawu Baraje faction may be expelled from the party by the Bamanga Tukur faction.
This is one of the major highlights of the report of the Political Committee, one of the secret committees raised by the President.
It was learnt that the report of the political committee was ready last night.
The President raised three committees last Thursday before travelling to Kenya on a state visit.
The committees (Political, Legal and Contact) were given advisory task on how the presidency should contain the aggression of the G-7 governors and the Kawu Baraje faction.
A source said: “The other measures recommended by the committee include an X-ray of the activities of the disloyal members in the states and possible expulsion of some of those indicted in the factionalisation of PDP.

ReplyDeleteJ.
we are ready for u Asari ,it is ur blood nd ur supporters that wl be shed on the street
ReplyDeleteAccusing the former president is as idiotic as the person who made the comment. Fools like Dokubo only continue in business because they have been brainwashed by individuals who never think more than an inch from where they are and because of that their comments are at best what can be expected from a wild baboon. Talk only when you are a progressive.
ReplyDeleteBabangida and asari as far Nigerian pple are concerned there is litu or no difference btw d two of them. They ar only Interested in wea there pockey will be served... Odun Tutu.
ReplyDeletelol... Why is Babangida publicizing his so-called talks pull out na? When has men become chicken like Barack Obama and David Cameron. Comon IBB, pull the hell out of peace talks if you are man enough and stop wasting our time with silly threats.
ReplyDeleteBagandiga you need not to pull out of the talks. I am Igboman, I am not happy to Asari`s threat. All I know is that we shall rather pull the trigger against Asari Dokubo who does not know that he is a complete bonfull in his capacity as a militant.
ReplyDeleteWho cares whether 1BB pull out or stay. He is one of those who kept dis country to it current state. He and Asari are of d same mind set. They are fools and fighting for their own pocket and not of National interest. Dis country can not move forward whn dis old fools are in d helm of d affairs of dis country. No body should take dem serious even 0basanjo. Sometin unusual must happen in dis country some day. Watch out.
ReplyDeleteThis Asari must be a fool truly. He ought to have known that excellent performance is a key to retaining any elective position. If he were reasonable person, ho would have advised GEJ to perform creditably well.
ReplyDeleteWhen did a dictator and a militant become peacemakers? lol
