BREAKING NEWS NIGERIA !! President Jonathan
Cannot Win In 2015 - Dokubo Asari One of the
biggest supporters and kinsman of President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Alhaji Mujahid
Dokubo Asari, has declared that the president
has lost the support of his political base, the
South-south and the South-East owing to the
failure of his government to deliver on its
promises. Dokubo-Asari, at a press conference
in Abuja on Friday, said that it would be tough
for Jonathan to win the presidential election in
2015 if he decides to run based on the poor
showing of his administration. He said that his
decision to speak out was for him and others
who are ardent supporters of Jonathan not to
be blamed for his failure in 2015. He said: “I
want to start with an Ijaw proverb, which says:
the eyes watched its seven children to death.
Instead of advising them, it was just looking at
them until they died, while the mouth talked
its only child to life and success. “We have
continued as Ijaw people and the entire Niger
Delta and South-South to support the
presidency of President Goodluck Jonathan,
but a time has come when silence cannot be
golden. “We mainly speak out in issues that
are very critical to the survival of our people,
the survival of the people of the South-South
and the South- East, which happens to be the
political base of Goodluck Jonathan. “Jonathan
is surrounded by very greedy people who are
only in the Presidency to enrich themselves at
the expense of Goodluck himself. “This brings
us to another Kalabari proverb, which says:
where there are elders, a goat cannot be
allowed to deliver tied to a stick. “If we don’t
talk and we continue to brush it aside,
tomorrow we will be blamed and people will
say: Mujahid Dokubo-Asari was around when
Goodlcuk Jonathan was president and he didn’t
talk. “Them I will be an accomplice and
accessory after the fact…. “It is alarming
because the South-South must have its
uninterrupted eight years tenure, which is
constitutional. “But with how things are going
under Jonathan’s watch, we are afraid that we
may not be able to have our eight years tenure
because there will be no magic about it if it is
going to be one man one vote.” Dokubo-Asari
said he will continue to speak out despite the
fact that he had benefitted from Jonathan,
adding that one of those causing trouble for
the President remains the Minister of Niger
Delta Affairs, Chief Godsday Orubebe. He said:
“I have benefited immensely from Goodluck
Jonathan with my stake but benefit alone is
not enough to make me to keep quiet when
the period is very challenging for our people.
“So, some of us are tempted to ask this
question: why are all these things happening?
“Why has the President allow some ministers
like Godsday Orubebe to continue in
government? “Everyday people die on the East-
West Road. “If Orubebe is incompetent as he
has shown himself to be, he should be
removed. “Nobody voted for Orubebe. “And
why is Orubebe so important to the President
that he can’t remove him even in the face of
his obvious incompetence and several
allegation to corruption? “We feel very
ashamed and embarrassed. “Orubebe was one
of us. “He was attending meetings with us,
sleeping in the ground with us, entering night
bus with us and we nominated him to be
appointed a minister. “We have gone to him
and complained to him that we don’t like they
way things are going in his ministry and told
him that if the President leaves in 2015
without the completion of the East-West Road,
we are finished. “And the man keeps telling us
there is no money. “When IBB (former military
President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida) was
there, there was money. “When Abacha was
there, there was money. “When others were
there, there was money. “How come the
money disappeared when Jonathan got there?
“Jonathan and orubebe will account for the
death in the East-West Road.” On the face-off
between Jonathan and former President
Olusegun Obasanjo, Dokubo-Asari said there
was no need for it. He said that no matter
what Jonathan feels, he still remains a
beneficiary of Obasanjo’s large heartedness.
He said: “First, there was no need for
Goodluck Jonathan to disagree with Olusegun
Obasanjo. “I don’t like Obasanjo. “I don’t like
his face. “I hate him. “But he was instrumental
in bringing Goodluck Jonathan to power. “And
the greedy people around Jonathan have not
managed him enough to the extent that the
President and people around him will allow
Jonathan to disagree with Obasanjo openly
“And if you check, all the people who
supported Goodluck Jonathan and fought to
bring him to power, have openly disagreed
with him. “What was the cause of these
disagreements? “These are the questions we
want to put to the president. “Some people say
Obasanjo is manipulating Goodluck Jonathan,
that is why Jonathan is disagreeing with him
and we ask: what has Goodluck Jonathan’s
government achieved to show that it is a
departure from other governments that have
existed since 1956? “For us, nothing has
changed. “It is still business as usual. “So what
are the advice that Obasanjo gave to Jonathan
that were so difficult for him to fulfill, that
made him decide to fall out with Obasanjo?
“Obasanjo was instrumental and manipulated
the process that illegally removed Diepreye
Alamieyeseigha as governor of Bayelsa State
and installed Jonathan as governor, made him
vice president, fought for him to become
acting president and also fought for him to
become president of Nigeria. “Apart from
Obasanjo, there are so many people who
supported Goodluck Jonathan, some have been
pushed out by those who were not there to
give him any support, while some others are
trapped and they cannot talk. I have a feeling
that Fulani man Buhari would have done more
for Niger-delta than Jonathan has done so far
Jonathan has done nothing for Niger Delta
actually. It is getting more and more difficult
to support him, the second niger bridge is
another issue. Even his allies are denouncing
him. What a shame!

This is incredulous.....link pls??
