The Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force and former President of Ijaw Youth Council, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, said he was arrested at the Republic of Benin over an allegation from Nigeria that he was a member of the Boko Haram Islamic sect.
He however attributed his travails in the hands of the Beninoise authorities to those opposed to the 2015 re-election ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan.
The NDPVF boss who appeared unperturbed by the arrest also said the crises “has raised my profile in that country.”
Speaking with Journalists on Friday night during his arrival at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja he also described as lies, reports that President Jonathan sent a Presidential Jet to fly him into Nigeria from the Republic of Benin.
He said, “Crisis is normal, it can also happen here in Nigeria, it can happen anywhere in the world. The people and government of Republic of Benin have no problem with me. But if people alleged that somebody is a leader of Boko Haram, the government of that country will investigate the person.
“The allegation has much to do with 2015 because when your read comments on social media, you find out that somebody who is against President Goodluck Jonathan, said they should vilify me and make sure I die before 2015. But they are not going to succeed. I am not going to die. I will be present in 2015, and I will do what I am going to do to ensure that Jonathan wins in 2015. There is nothing they can do about it. This is their last fight and it is so unfortunate that the way and manner they are going with it shows how immature they are.”
He also denied that he was flown into Abuja in a Presidential Jet saying it is not true.
Asari said, “I just arrived from Cotonu. I drove in my car from Cotonu to Lagos Airport where I boarded Aero Contractors flight to Abuja. The report is not true. No presidential jet was sent to me.
“That report is an instigated falsehood. Most of the things that have always been written against President Goodluck Jonathan is also falsehood. A section of the press in Nigeria is manipulated and instigated.”
“I do business in Cotonu, and I have been living in Cotonu since 2008. Politically, people who are in Nigeria are trying to fabricate lies, which are not verifiable, and send it to the government of Republic of Benin. So I was taken for interrogation and they found that the allegations were false, and I was promptly released with over 20 of my staff who were also taken in.”
Asari also spoke on his meeting with officials of government of Republic of Benin after his interrogation.
“I have met with the top and powerful people in Republic of Benin, since I went to that country. I have never had any reason to meet with their government officials, but this crisis has made it possible for me to meet with all the top government functionaries of the Republic of Benin. The crises has raised my profile in that country”, he boasted. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

True indeed your travail in Benin has boosted your CV as an international crook. Who want you to be away because of 2015 your presence or otherwise will not change anything.
ReplyDeleteAs Per your relationship with BH and other international criminal clique. Posterity will determine that when your brother Mr GEJ depart office come 2015. That is when you will know you're just a toad in a crocodile / sharks infested river.
The politicians that you vote for are bigger crooks
DeleteKhalid i have just one question for u? Boosting and murdering which is better?
DeleteHim (Asari Dokubo) and Jonathan are the most useless animals Nigeria has ever produce. They suddenly forget how he Jonathan got to the office.
ReplyDeleteIf Jonathan should win a local Govt election in Nigeria come 2015, it means he can win presidential election in America-And that means there is nothing like Democracy in the world.
By the special grace of God. President Jonathan will win & God's will ,will be done. Your type cannot rule your immediate family . May God forgive you for calling his creation a useless animal. You all say One Nigeria but you all never mean or understand the words. You are supposed to be praying for him but instead you curse him & indirctly harming the good land of Nigeria. May God forgive your ignorance.
