Niger Delta activist, Asari Dokubo,
on Politics Today hinted that the
former President of Nigeria,
Olusegun Obasanjo has been a
clog in the wheel of the progress
of the Jonathan administration. Dokubo said that Obasanjo has
always said that the President of
Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan should
not run for the 2015 election, that
the former president backed the
idea of a Northern politician be put in place as the flag bearer of the
PDP come 2015, while the Rivers
state governor, Chibuike Amaechi,
who is now in the Baraje-led PDP
faction be his running mate. He said that Obasanjo has always
been behind the recommendation
of the Rivers state governor,
Chibuike Amaechi for a higher
office. He explained further that, severally,
Obasanjo has said this on pages of
newspaper and on television that
Jonathan should not run for the
2015 election. The issues of not backing the
President’s 2015 ambition arose
when he was asked to react to the
statement made by the former
President of Nigerian and former
BoT Chairman of the ruling party, last week when Obasanjo
lamented on the non-progress in
the resolution of the crisis, that
may mar the chance of the party
ahead of the 2015 elections, after
a meeting with the leaders of the PDP factions, warning that
everyone should tread carefully
else the party would disintegrate. On the crisis rocking the Rivers
PDP, Dokubo took a swipe at the
Governor of the state, labelling
him a traitor and saying further
that ‘a traitor will be treated as a
traitor’ as he refuted the claim by the governor, that his life is in
danger, saying that no one is
stalking the governor, rather the
move is just a ploy by the Rivers
state governor to rally support for
himself, as he has lost the love and favour he used to have in
Rivers state, with the people he
governs turning against him. He stated further that the Rivers
state governor was forced on
Rivers state indigenes, because he
didn’t win the mandate of the
people, rather a court put him in
place of the rightful candidate that the people of Rivers state voted to
be in office. He explained the reason why he
left the former Action Congress of
Nigeria (ACN) now the All
Progressives Congress (APC) citing
authorities in Lagos as he reason,
because they wanted to lord over Rivers state chapter of the party, by
wanting they call shots in the party
on who to contest for what, he
stated that he sees that as an
insult to his person and the people
of Rivers state. He denied he left the because he
didn’t get what he wanted as a
card-carrying member of the party,
when he was asked by the host,
Seun Okinbaloye, if that was the
reason why he left, he responded, saying he got what he wanted, as
his wife represented his
constituency for the State House of
Representatives election under the
flagship of the ACN. He confirmed
however, that his love right now is for the ruling Peoples’ Democratic
Party, even though he does not
have any intention of running for
any position under the party right
now, but he is ready to back ‘His
Own’ referring to the President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan,
warning that the president will run
for 2015, as he declared that it is
‘no retreat, no surrender’ and it is
a ‘do or die’ affair come 2015.

Na today?

mgbeketoto: Na today?

Yes
And the reason is to encourage the northerners to believe in democracy .
6 yrs is enough for a Stooge who does not know how he got there in the first place.
northerners still more or less have the military and unlike every other nationality in nigeria,they do not shy away from using it to their own advantage .
That is the reality
