Former militant and leader of the Niger
Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, on Sunday
declared that President Goodluck Jonathan’s presidential ambition in
2015 was already settled, as his Niger Delta compatriots would not
succumb to any force opposed to its full actualization.
There would be blood in the streets if
Mr. Jonathan is not reelected president in the 2015 election, the
militant leader threatened.
Mr. Asari-Dokubo, who was a guest on a
Channels Television programme, Politics Today, monitored in Abuja, said
he would register as a full member of the ruling Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) to enable him join in the fight to realize the president’s
re-election bid.
“The way things are going, there is no
sitting on the fence in the battle before us,” Mr. Asari-Dokubo said.
“When some people say they have a right to rule and others don’t have,
then there is no sitting on the fence. All of us will have to be in the
ring and fight. We cannot leave Goodluck (Jonathan) alone.
“My support for Jonathan will be biased,
because charity begins at home. Monkey no fine, but im mama like am.
Goodluck, na my person. 2015 is already a settled matter. Goodluck
Jonathan would be President in 2015.
“Whether they contest or they don’t. If
they say the blood of the dogs and the baboons will be soaked in the
streets, or salt water in the streets, we will help them in blood in the
streets.”
Insisting there was no crisis in the PDP
in the wake of the walkout during the recent National Convention by
some aggrieved members, led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and
seven governors, Mr. Asari-Dokubo said the exit of seven out of 23
governors elected on PDP ticket was not enough to cause any crisis.
On the role of two former Presidents,
Ibrahim Babangida and Olusegun Obasanjo, who are working towards an
amicable resolution of the crisis, Asari-Dokubo described the duo, who
are also members of the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the PDP, as “agents
provocateur”, who are fueling the crisis by declaring that they do not
want Jonathan to run in the 2015 elections.
He accused Messrs Babangida and Obasanjo
of secretly encouraging the Jigawa state governor, Sule Lamido to run
for President, with Rivers state governor, Chubuike Amaechi as his
deputy, adding that at one recent public function, Mr. Babangida had
said that Mr. Amaechi and the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Aminu Tambuwal, were good to run for higher offices come 2015.
He described the Rivers state governor
as “a traitor to the collective aspirations of the people of Rivers
State,” saying whatever situation the governor is facing he deserved it,
as there was no better way a traitor could be treated by Rivers people.
On the intervention of the National
Assembly in the crisis in the Rivers State House of Assembly, the
militant leader criticized the decision to take over the legislative
functions of the Assembly, saying the lawmaker lacked the moral high
ground to have done so, since they were unable to take a similar action
when they were embroiled in corruption charges a few years ago.
Mr. Asari-Dokubo, who claimed he was a
card-carrying member and major financial of the defunct Action Congress
of Nigeria (ACN) until December 27, 2010, said he would be joining the
PDP to enable him join in fighting for President Jonathan’s candidacy
from the inside.
Ruling out any possibility of running
for any office in 2015, he said his focus for now was on getting the Mr.
Jonathan’s reelection project delivered.
“I will declare for the PDP. We will
fight, because in this battle, there is no retreat, no surrender. We
will not take any prisoner of war. It will be total battle,” he said.

ReplyDeleteBUT LET IT BE KNOWN THAT BOTH IBB AND OBJ CANNOT IMPOSE A NORTHERNER ON US..COME 2015.....PEACE IS USELESS WHEN SOME PEOPLE PLAY gods,,,, IF YOU SAY IT MUST BE A NORTHERNER THEN PEACE IS USELESS.....
GEJ Should call ansari to other,, Ansari has to be guided in his ultrances,, Nigerians are not fools.....
ReplyDeleteBUT LET IT BE KNOWN THAT BOTH IBB AND OBJ CANNOT IMPOSE A NORTHERNER ON US..COME 2015.....PEACE IS USELESS WHEN SOME PEOPLE PLAY gods,,,, IF YOU SAY IT MUST BE A NORTHERNER THEN PEACE IS USELESS..... Ameachi IS digging his own grave, he will soon be sent exile to the North.
Asari-Dokubo only talks like a year old boy who is just learning to speak. He cannot intimidate us with his useless speech. What has GEJ achieved in the last 6 years as president of the country. Bayelsans should get ready to welcome their son back home by 2015
ReplyDeleteAnd you get ready to fed yourself and leave oil to the delta people
DeleteAsari or whatever you call yourself, you are a TOOTHLESS BULL! Empty barrel makes the loudest noise. You are completely irrelevant in Nigerian politics. Why would Channels Tv grant someone like you an interview session? Gush!!! Come 2015, the people will determine who's to lead them. Advise your brother, our dear President, to concentrate on delivering on his electioneering promises and stop your BARKING!
ReplyDeleteThis fat pig fought GEJ last year when the govt did not renew his contract to protect a particular oil pipeline. He was ranting and raving calling Jonathan names. I guess he got it back now and his pocket is full, now he is singing his praises again. Asari is a useless, toothless irrelevant bulldog fighting for his pocket. The fat fool should go back to the creeks where he bolongs and try to loose some weight and continue with his oil bunkering biz. God go purnish all of una. Retard.
Deleteempty threat from a clueless man. Nigeria is not your creek. Those who wants to rule Nigeria by force God will surely remove by Force.
ReplyDeleteNigeria has seen greater threats and still survives till today by God's Grace. Let's disregard Asari's rantings. He is only a Hustler. Not an issue.
ReplyDeleteu people just dey talk anyhow and this man know what is talking about the truth shall prevail one day...if this man GEJ did not win in 2015 i bet it with you our next president is frm north and we frm south south south west south east we go back to were we belong again and u know what it takes to aquire the post frm north back again so think twice bf u talk
ReplyDeleteAt least u know where u belong. With Goodluck performance and the response of his people.. u clearly dont belong there
DeleteWhy wouldn't u cal him names. R ur fuckin eyes , if it were IBB or OBJ ll GEJ b doin wat both of them r to him, sponsorin dissidents, traitors in d name of mediatin for peace. May God c my country tru
ReplyDeleteGEJ has turn dis country to anoda thing dats why some people calld him a kindergaten president If not how can a tout like Asari Dokubo be allow to speak in public..did he think every Nigerian state is 9 nine local govt state.
ReplyDeletetake care u ar not bigger than a ship.A political thug distubn the peace foolish pig take u ar nobody
ReplyDeleteYea ..probably his blood and that of his family wnt make it to 2015 ..no one has the monopoly of violence
ReplyDeleteMr. Asari Dokubo, please stop talking like an unbeleliever. I thought you were a muslim? Pray to God to direct the people to vote in a leader that will take this country to the promised land and stop talking as if the future of this country is your hands. May God forgive you.
ReplyDeleteGood ,,,BLOOD IN THE STREET OF BAYESA
ReplyDeleteI don't blame Ansari or whatever he calls himself; I blame Nigerians who voted GEJ in the first place, and all I said about the man has come to pass in the last two years. As for Anari, it is his blood that will flow in 2015, if he even lives to see 2015!
ReplyDeleteJonathan and his militants would be put to shame..let us wait and see..
ReplyDeleteAsari is only trying to make a name.Even the Mighty Goliath in the bible was killed by tiny david.He will die like chicken with his families,this is obvious that he is making money from GEJ administration.
ReplyDeleteThunder go strike u and GEJ together.
Mr Dokubo, i'm from north, northener rule dis country for so many years no development, we ar ready 2 suport u. We have socall leaders, see wt is happening in the northern part no peace.
ReplyDeleteSince GEJ has enough militants on his dide, he shud send 2 go n fight boko haram n put an end 2 d bombin issues in d north.
ReplyDeleteWhy would the Press medium like ChannelsTV even give such a creature the opportunity to address the good people of this country??
ReplyDeleteI want to let my voice to the prayer of majority, Asari Dokubo is not in a position to determine what happens politically in 2015, if he wants his brother to contest and win he should go ahead with his strategic but bear in mind that he has no audacity to speak on behalf of vast majority of Nigerians let alone threat blood shed if his brother lose out in the coming election. Happenings in Nigeria has shown clearly that not a single individual can hold us into ransom because of any thing whatsoever. If Asari has forgotten he should go and ask MKO the most influential person in his time. We were told then Nigeria would blow if MKO dies but till today nigeria has not blown. Asari, go back to where u belong and stop making empty threat, Nigeria will remain as one and if any blood will be shed it will be Asari Dokubo's and that of his entire lineage amen. KSF!!!
ReplyDeleteThis blabbering fool is at it again...
ReplyDeleteXavier
Donmalik -Asari a coward lazt year u ar fightin Gej,dis yr bkin him bcoz of ur selfish interest. Who is IBB.OBJ.ATIKU,TUKUR,AND Even jiang.so BLood shed to person in part of nothern 9ja is rubished ur oga haz spreed mny blood in his regime.and u still need more.Mujahid dis not the teaching of prophet muhammed(S AW)DA BIBLE DA HOLY QUR'AN don't preach voilence.tk care
ReplyDeleteI blame no one but OBJ.
ReplyDeleteOBJ brought GEJ from creek; forced him on Nigerians and see what we are seeing today.
May God deliver us.
The political maneuvering by some pdp BOT members made asiri get angry. But asari should embrace civil way of talk instead of war war.
ReplyDeleteI live and work in London. If you make threaten somebody with violence or issue a ban to someone whether a politician or others not to enter any part of the country, you will be arrested for threatening the peace and safety of the person in the UK or any other civilised country. Why were these so called ex militants not arrested by the police and made to appear before the courts? Or is there no law or rule governing peoples behaviour in Nigeria?
ReplyDeleteMy naija guy no law o!!!.
DeleteWill you arrest buhari for his statements first? Hypocrite!
Deleteit a pity that channels gave a school drop out, tout and thug opportunity to talk on a live program, in country that is filled with well educated and better citizen. single question he failed to answered but bragging on violence. Election is about number not about violence making people, time will tell,even if PDP gives their ticket to GEJ we are ready to vote him out, if he contest in Bayelsa then u can place him without election. the idiot was speaking for Nigerians, that either will like on not GEJ will continue in 2015 forgotten is by number. WE from YORUBA land not ready to vote for GEJ again. I stand to be corrected.
ReplyDeleteThis Asari is a Goat. He doesnt think before talking and after talking.
ReplyDeleteThere would be blood in the streets.... which of the streets? South South and South East? Here is a joker who believes that those who have not taken anything from the looting of the nation will jump on the street and start fighting. And I don't know what I will fight for. Is it for Obasanjo, IBB, GEJ or Asari Dokubo who are all well fed by the sweat of all Nigerians? This man is a joker. When the time comes, the fight will start from the door steps of the four of you and your co-travellers.
ReplyDeleteNiger delta idiot
ReplyDeleteWow! See militant dey talK. Nawawo.
ReplyDeleteThe truth remains that GEJ has been ordained to complete his tenure. Being minority does not disqualify him as many of u think. Whether Asari says it or not, that same God who picked GEJ 4rm no where and made Presido, will see him thru the second term. I do not think GEJ second tenure is the issue here,that is already settled, the issue should is whether the south will equalize ruling years with the north, because I feel that these nothern elements forget nigeria belongs to all. I am sorry for the southern element who supports the north to continue to cheat us in the name of population. What we have in the north is lazy and unproductive population. The years north held power were more than enough to transform not just the north but the entire nation, rather they were busy stealing money, using money to form heaps for beds, hiding money in water wells, while their youths remained uneducated and no employment. All the woes they created are being blamed on GEJ. Why? hHave you all suddenly forgotten, perhaps your short memories are what they are cashing on. You guys should think. Do not cheat ur perceived weak
ReplyDeleteI AM TOO SURE THE BLOOD SHED WILL BE ON THE STREETS OF BAYELSA OTUOKE
ReplyDeleteWe are not surprise Yorubas wont vote for GEJ again, we know it your character, you people felt you have got ur share through the Yoruba man obasanjo and so do not care about others from south. Your usual egocentrism - tribacentrism, tribalism, greed, only-good-for-us nature, so you can do anything to stop others southerners from having the same share we all from the south fought to get. Did you vote GEJ for free, GEJ sacrified those Yoruba state to ACN during alliance with Tinubu, to allow ACN win all those state in return for voting GEJ. Never forget that GEJ had the power to snub him and still win those states and also PDP governorship. This was what Tinubu realised b4 he went for the negotiation with GEJ. GEJ allowed this just to do him favor, but now he has betrayed GEJ by using those states and Governors to fight GEJ. Tell without those states where will Tinubu and fashola have guts to fight GEJ. Rememeber OBJ when he came to power he took back almost all the yoruba to PDP. It was Yar'dua who relinguishes it when court fruad by Justices brided by ACN pronounced wrong judgements to return those states to ACN. We all know how the who thing went.
ReplyDeleteSo my dear do not brag with you Yoruba votes, Obasanjo became president with any yoruba vote, not even from his ward. So close ur Vocal cavity.
Your car tells who u are. U are wht u said. Also, remind GEJ that one of the reasons he will never succeed in 2015 is ASSI strike. We are in DEMOCRACY, i can contest and win if i convince the electorates, stop the noise.
ReplyDeletefor sure I dont think any reasonable yoruba man will vote for GEJ again except if there is no other credible candidate. Better still we prefere to stay indoor.
ReplyDeleteif you like vote for Goodluck 2015 or not,he is the 2015 President, we don't need your vote for him to pass, how your brother ring his own election.he is going to ring the election and win, let me inform you now,
ReplyDeleteHow will someone destined for life jail talk in this manner?
ReplyDeleteATARI IS A PAID THUG. Without noise making-he is not qualified for any job
ReplyDeleteDokubo is just so cheap, I wndr y he compares bukuma to the entire country. Who knws may b he wnt even live 2 c 2013 cuz with his recent utterances, He has stopped sounding lyk sm1 who hs anythin to do wiv God
ReplyDeleteI am a supporter to PDP, as well would like Dr. Jonathan to continue as the President of this Country. I am not in support of what this miscrant called Asari Dokubo said. When the time comes, he see those who will cage him. I do not blame Asari Dokubo, because the Federal Government encouraged a militant like him. My question to him is, apart from voodoo, what else can he offer in this Country called Nigeria. I repeat, we are waiting for him and he will be surprised that he is not stronger than late Osama Bin Laden.
ReplyDeleteRide on bro,they made GEJ looked like he isn't capable of ruling the nation,they brought out boko haram,bribe asuu boss to come up with the strike and they think blood will no fill the street if we dnt return as number one citizen God purnish them
ReplyDeletewell channels takes the blame for bringing a lunatic for interview. Gej should find a way to solve ASUU issue. Credibility is what we need in our next president. Asari, am letting myself down to talk to you but I have to. If u want war, go to syria, gaza, somali or even all the boko haram states in Nigeria and fight. Dnt open the sewage line you call mouth to talk to sane people like Nigerian and any one that knows GEJ should tell him to immediately distance himself from that baboon called Asari. Lastly Buhari, as a statesman of u high repute, My humble thinking is that your ulterance has killed your political career nevertheless, I find it worrisome that you havent apologised till now. Though its late but better late than never. By the grace of the most merciful God we will see 2015 and those that will go home in shame.
ReplyDeleteHey! See u ppl shud nt cause any havoc in dis country or else i wil slap d hel of couvetousnes 4rm ur sily brain u ppl ar maried wt sum of ur families abroad and u ar ever ready wt ur private jet if u stat it nw u wil run out.am stil single n searchn when av made it lyk u ppl d war can start ok.
