AHEAD of the 2015 general elections, the leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, has described the Rivers State Governor as a “traitor.”

Dokubo-Asari, in a phone-in radio programme in Port Harcourt on Saturday, said Amaechi’s political ambition did not tally with the ambition of the people of the state.

The NDPVF leader explained that the NGF chairman would be “treated like a traitor” for allegedly confronting President Goodluck Jonathan on some government policies and the 2015 elections.

He said, “Amaechi and his commissioners can go back to slavery and continue to serve the northerners, who claim to be born to rule. We will never go back to slavery. We know the quality of those who are commissioners in Rivers State.

“Amaechi and his ambition must be tied to the ambition of his people. In Kano, Amaechi said he would run as vice-president, if invited. I speak with all sense of responsibility. The oppressed people of the Niger Delta, through President Jonathan, will win in 2015. We will win clearly and convincingly.

“Amaechi is a traitor and he will be treated like a traitor. Amaechi is not more Ikwerre than me. It is about liberty to rule. Amaechi wants to take us back to slavery. It will not be possible. The era of northern godfathers is gone.

“President Goodluck Jonathan will win in 2015. If they do not allow him to win, they will not be able to handle the consequences. An end must come to the suppression, oppression, repression and marginalisation of the people of the Niger Delta.

“The South-South and South-East people have been brushed aside for too long. People of the North said they would make Nigeria ungovernable for Jonathan, if he won in 2011, which they are doing.”

In his reaction, the state Commissioner for Agriculture, Mr. Emmanuel Chinda, said contrary to Dokubo-Asari’s claim, Amaechi was not a traitor.

Chinda, who reacted through the phone-in radio programme, expressed dissatisfaction over Dokubo-Asari’s position on issues concerning the governor and the state.

He accused Dokubo-Asari and a few others of creating problems between President Goodluck Jonathan and the state governor for their selfish interests, adding that the people of the state were behind Amaechi.

Amaechi should learn from Mrs History, she is the greatest teacher.

Why is this guy blabbering again!

but why does the press even grant this man interview in the first place......why accord him so much importance...are they now trying to tell the youths to take up arms and become popular.....make them go ask shekau his on view on the matter naa...nonsense

this noise maker again

Amaechi is headed for ruins.

Please permit me to start by asking who the hell is Dokubo The fact that the young man knows how to handle rifle does not mean he should be accord much attention. He is just an attention seeker. We're talking about putting an end to regional / ethnic politics as well as abating violence in our dear country yet this guy is just busy intensifying the whole stuff. Mr. President it may interest you to know that this young man is causing you more harm than good. His hidden agenda is to wreck Mr. President 2015 political ambition.

2015 is not gonna be easy. Why does politicians in Nigeria have these mindset of always wanting to cause mayhem if they don't win? I thought all these guys are educated...

Asari is a funny man that has no locus standing. Today he says one thing and next week he says another. Amaechi has not disclosed any plans to run for Presidency but he is a way more intelligent, eloquent and better candidate than Jonathan. In fact in a free and fair election Jonathan cannot win Amaechi. Asari and his fellows are tribalists. If they are not, let them support an Igbo man as President since their basis for re-election is tribe and not performance.

I've been generally impressed by some of Jonathan's policies but he's so keen on 2015 that he has employed some disturbing tactics including militants threatening Nigeria if we don't allow Jonathan to be fostered upon us in 2015. We should prove that Nigeria belongs to us and not militants or tribalists. Let them start the war and experience true war and what it feels like.

nothing rebellious in his actions,
it was a simple differential political ideology.

Awolowo vs akintola saga

This issue is getting out of control. Amaechi should go to senate in 2015 ASAP

The goat Asari has always been angry when ameachi became governour because he was kicked out of government house which use to be his second home under odili, this man is an idiot who should'nt be given any medium to display insanity.

He will support jonathan because the amnesty cash is feeding his bass drum belly, but what about the average niger deltan who has'nt seen any benefit from jonathan's government. Rather more and more niger deltan youths are dying in the creek from oil bunkering because they can't find better jobs. What's the need of defending and taking care of a chicken that does'nt lay eggs?
