The Leader of Niger-Delta Peoples Volunteers Force, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, on Tuesday slammed President Goodluck Jonathan over his comment that Nigeria would have boiled if a former Head of State Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) had died in the Kaduna blast.
He also exonerated himself from the allegation that he paid the alleged masterminds of the Kaduna blast N5m to carry out the attacks, saying people were out to tarnish his image.
While describing the President’s comment as unnecessary, he stated that placing the life of one Nigerian above the over 80 persons who died in the incident was wrong.
“I do not work for Jonathan. What the President said was wrong. The life of Buhari is not more important than 87 people that died in that blast. It is unfortunate that the President made such a statement. I wonder why the President will be promoting one person above other Nigerians. That statement from the President was very unfortunate. I do not have the capacity to tell the President to apologise, but I still insist that he should not have made such a statement,” Dokubo-Asari told journalists on Tuesday in Abuja.
He recalled that, “Soon after the blast, a cross-gender person came out and was arrested. Even the mother of the person arrested said he was insane. Social media reports said I gave them N5m to carry out the attack. These things are masterminded. The first one is against President Jonathan and the other one is against me.
“I did not pay anybody to carry out any assassination attempt on Buhari. I do not have anything against him. He is not a threat. He will fail in 2015. For the records, I do not operate a Twitter account and anyone saying I tweeted that there would be more attacks is only using my name.”
Dokubo-Asari also raised the alarm that all the calculated attacks on him were geared towards shutting him up ahead of the 2015 presidential election.
He said, “They want to silence me because they know the role I will play in 2015. They have also sponsored reports in Benin Republic that I am the person financing Boko Haram. Another Islamic scholar also said I am the one sponsoring Boko Haram to destroy the North on behalf of President Jonathan.
Dokubo-Asari also alleged that the late leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, funded Buhari’s elections in 2011.
He said, “In March 2010, I was a guest of Maummar Gaddafi. He told me that Sule Armah and Buba Galadima were in Libya ahead of the 2011 elections. Gaddafi told me that he had been funding Buhari’s elections in the past. I want the Department of State Security to investigate if these names I have mentioned were not in Libya during the period I am talking about.”
But a Buhari’s ally and a former spokesperson for the defunct Congress for Progress Change, Alhaji Buba Galadima, said Dokubo’s allegations were unfounded. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteVery funny! You went to DSS to investigate? You went there as what?!! Please 'make we hear word jare' you are likes pulling publicity stunt.
ReplyDeleteMujaheed Asari Abubakar Goodhead Dokubo as he is known (Double drop-out and rusticated from Unical & UST) is suffering from Mid-Summer Madness and will latch onto any opportunity to keep himself in the limelight. The same he-goat that swears there were no missing Chibok Girls, and had also accused Buhari of planning his own attack against himself!. This idiot is a compulsive liar and a rabble-rouser with no iota of integrity. He is a spent Mercenary (He ran from Rivers State to Abuja to take instructions from his sponsors and financiers) is seeking attention and visibility at any opportunity he can grab. He is a nobody that should be ignored period!
ReplyDeleteThe last time asari and his people got angry there was no oil and we went into crisis. Please remember their people are the ones feeding our unproductive selves. Until we find an alternative to Niger delta oil we should all shut up and be grateful.
