The leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, has demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his former deputy, Atiku Abubakar, for his alleged role in the raging crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He also asked President Goodluck Jonathan to deal decisively with the members of the “New PDP” led by Kawu Baraje, especially the seven governors in its fold, by arresting their associates.
Mr. Asari-Dokubo, who stated this in an interview with PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday in Abuja, however, refused to speak about former military president, Ibrahim Babangida, who he said had not taken sides with either the breakaway group or the mainstream PDP led by Bamanga Tukur.
Atiku and the PDP governors of Jigawa, Kano, Sokoto, Kwara, Rivers, Adamawa and Niger States belong to the Baraje faction of the party. They announced the birth of the faction last August 31.
Mr Obasanjo headed the PDP elders team that mediated unsuccessfully in the crisis, though some of the governors are believed to be his political associates.
“’Obasanjo should be arrested and detained, yes and Atiku (Abubakar),” Mr. Asari-Dokubo said. “They are ordinary citizens of this country they are nobody. They are nobody. I don’t know about Babangida, he has not come out to talk about where he belongs.”
The NDPVF leader said there was no need pampering members of the Baraje faction, noting that with their action, they had shown that they were miscreants. According to him, members of the faction fouled of the Electoral Act by setting up a secretariat for a party that was not in existence.
According to him, “Those political miscreants; the president should use a hammer against them. There’s no basis indulging these miscreants; they should be treated as such.
“There’s only one registered PDP known to INEC and Tukur is the chairman of that PDP. For the president to indulge them is a slap on the face of politics. He should have hit them if they go against the law.
“If you set up a secretariat for a party that’s not ready, then they should be arrested and detained. There’s no party called new PDP. They should be treated as a lawbreaker.”
Reminded of the constitutional immunity of the governors from arrest, Mr. Asari-Dokubo said, “(Since) the governors enjoy immunity, they should pick people around them, then they will know.”
He described the Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi as “a traitor” even as he alleged that Mr. Jonathan was shielding the governor by his frequent visits to Rivers State.
“Amaechi is a traitor to all people, traitor to the interest of all members of the South-South and the South-East. He should be treated like a traitor.
“The President is shielding Amaechi; he is not fighting him, if not he shouldn’t be coming to Port Harcourt every day.”

ReplyDeleteHonestly he is very sick. I don't know why they keep interviewing this pig. I think he pays for it to make him relevant.
Deleteis this loud mouth now a member of PDP? Has he not heard how Jonathan, Akpabio and Jang also caused crises in the Nigeria Governors Forum? We should start by arresting them.
ReplyDeleteThis man insane, let the so called president try to heed what the foolish man is insinuating and see the outcome of it.

ReplyDeleteDOKUBO! What are U waiting for? Why not deal with that TRAITOR CHIBUIKE before we worry about OBJ & ATIKU. For me, bros ASARI "Charity begins at home", so let us deal with that MUMU ROTIMI AMEACHI first, then OBJ, ATIKU & the other REBELS will be DEALT with ACCORDINGLY.
ReplyDeleteSomeone shld pls stake this big for nothing GEJ dog. Mtcheeeeeeeeeew.

ReplyDeleteASARI is noting, but a clown.
ReplyDeleteFellow Nigerians, this guy called Asari Dokubo is a traitor of the ND people. Let me share an experience with u all....I was on my way to Abuja with my colleague for a conference and we met the former President in the flight (ARIK) Lagos to Abuja.....only for us to sight Asari too about boarding the same flight. My colleague was afraid as we all thought Asari will cause a lot of trouble seeing that Abdusallam was on the same flight....but Alas we were all shocked to see Asari Kneeling down in front of Gen Abusallam and bowing at the same time to 'honour 'the former Head of state, contrary to his open mouthed threats of hating the hausa Fulanis.....since then, I don't take him serious and I want to appeal to all ND youths, NOT to see this miscreant as an hero, but a man looking for his daily bread......
ReplyDeleteHmm, may God help us with all these miscreant /criminals littered all over naija and nobody to call them to order that a pity. Imagine asari a roadside rug insulting people that are by far better than him and his entire family lineage. Then we should know there is big problem.
ReplyDeleteForget the messenger and address the message. Is that view correct or not? . Stop digressing from the point.
ReplyDeleteCan someone more learned help remind Alhaji Mujaheedeen ASARI of past examples of those who violate The Laws of Power.
ReplyDeletePls Mr Asari always remember and make use of:
Law1: Never Outshine the Master
Law2: Don't Put Too Much Trust in your Friends, Learn to Use Enemies
Law3: Conceal Your Intentions
Law4: Always Say Less Than Necessary
A word should be enough for the wise...
Why does the media give so much attention to this doomed man. He started the crises we nigerians are facing today.kidnapping or have we forgotten so soon. A man who spilled blood and was pardon and amnesty given to him and his entourage. Today,he has the gut to threaten people. Rubish. Seriously, he belongs in jail as long as am concerned. Who is he that he should dictate what should be done? Go and atone for your sins Asari. Stop ,stop, Stop all the noise. Take out the little log from your eyes before condeming others.
ReplyDeleteThis mumu Asari the small money tht gej use to dash u the confuse u, if are really mad dog of gej go and make the arrest idiot.
ReplyDeleteMake una see who dey call ppl miscreants. Nija we don suffer. Had Yar Adua hammered you as are prescribing, we will not be hearing all these you unreasonable blabbing. Metamorphosed Ape
ReplyDeleteDokubo plays for the highest bidder. He's GEJ's political watch-dog and he's paid for it. If someone else offers something better, I bet u he'll begin to sing a different song. So on that note, I forgive him
ReplyDeleteA lot of talk with with no sense as such. I think this dude is just trying to be in the news or something. Most of what I have have heard him say in the news has been basically trash and not making so much sense. I hope people close to him advice him to spot making a big fool out of himself.
ReplyDeleteAsari, to be arrogant doesn't make one relevant. Jonathan, Tukur should learn to adhere to rule of laws either.
ReplyDeleteAsari's message is clear.Stop attacking him for he says the fact.Soon and very soon,that stupid Northern concoction called the nPDP will be dealt with like its sinister brother-BOKOHARAM.
ReplyDelete@ El Matosky, Please Amechi is never a traitor, with due respect.
ReplyDeleteAs GEJ has a right to contest for any post, so also every other Nigerian has. Your interest could be to vote for GEJ as a man of your choice please, go ahead it is your right and your choice.You don't compel anybody to do this because of someone.
Asari Dokubo is a tout. When the time comes we going to know who is who.
He should learn from what is happening in some Northern states declared state of emergency perhaps he may come to his foolish senses.
Senseless man, big fool....!
ReplyDeleteIn every none sense there is a sense, Let each every one of us expose the skeleton in our cupboards and stop criticizing Asari. Asari Dokubo has the freedom to express himself and what's wrong about that. For u miscreants and traitors all of u are nobody, but thieves, misleading Nigerians and causing choas and attribute it to GEJ Government.Let it be known to all of you bagging like toothless dogs The Best President Nigeria ever had since Nigerian History is Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and must continue in Power beyond 2015 -if not seccession- Nothern and Southern Nigeria as in Korea (watch out)- Donot say I told you.
ReplyDeleteIdiot, is like you hate your useless life, you don't deserve to say anything in this country.just try it .hopeless goat.
ReplyDeletelet asari face boko haram, he is always ready to fight, victory is certain. A product of university without certificate.
ReplyDeleteA bad sheep making himself relevant in society of sane mind......rubbish!
ReplyDeleteAbeg GEJ should use this man on BH. He is really ready 4 war.
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry for Asari Dokibo and I sympathize with him for washing his dirty linen in the public. And the press assisted him to exhibit his ignorance on governance in a democratic setting. His call for the arrest of the duo of Obasanjo and Atiku is a pointer in this direction. The problem in PDP is an in-house problem and the party knows how best to resolve it using party instrument. It is not the duty of Dokibo to recommend to the party’s chieftain on how to put his house in order. Does Dokibo still think he’s in the creeks? As his recommendation could only be applied in the swamps or in the jungle and not in a civilized society. He needs to be properly educated about this.
