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.” https://m./227488980638623?view=permalink&id=760400217347494&refid=28&_ft_=qid.6092315671603601628%3Amf_story_key.-7200620454603792590&__tn__=%2As

“I want to start with an Ijaw proverb,

only child to life and success."
I love this proverb for real.

"If the President leaves in
2015 without the completion of the East-West
Road, we are finished."
This is so true! If GMB comes in, that road may no longer be priority.

Obviously, this guy is not a sycophant.
Its like biting the finger that feeds him.

The President should take note.
What would the South/South remember that you did for them apart from enriching individuals like Asari Dokunbo?

I don't believe this cause Asari speaks in Pidgin

This is serious

can you imagine just consider how this useless common tout utter rubbish like nigeria belong to only ijaw

OP stop this dishonest tactics of bringing up a news more than a year old and trying to pass it off as a new story.

I use to hail Mr President before, but now the man dey confuse all that trust him.

This write up has shown that asari is not after the cash, he is a real fighter for the people.

I will vote Asari Dokubo in 2015!!!

Its Me or Jonathan. guess who she chose.

6 years of rule, Jonathan constructed railway on
the paper which made Alh Ameachi unable to
transport on the rail. 6 years of rule, economy of
Nigeria became number one on the paper, which
made average Nigerian to still be living under $1
per day. 6 years of rule, Jonathan created work
thru promises of the mouth which made about 16
people died tragically looking for immigration job
around March. 6 years of rule, a leader who swore
an oath to protect his country but never did and
using opposition as an excuse everytime. 6 years
of rule, a leader became sixth African richest
president, 6 years of rule, a leader who created
more universities but ASUU were on strike for six
good months! 6 years of rule, a government who
promised to sanitise the whole system from
corruption, but some are saying GEJ fought
corruption in Agriculture and left PENSION scam,
Fuel subsidy scam, Stella Oduah's Scam, Diezani's
scam, Lawal Farouk scam, Abacha son's scam,
Fayose's scam, Buruji Kashamu's Scam, Fani
Kayode's scam,CBN $20billion scam. yet they are
campaigning for continuity. Continuity for what?
For sufferness? We need a change, let's vote for
change(APC), let's vote for Buhari come Feb 14,
2015

Asari my friend, calm down..I know you are scared of GMB..GMB has forgiven you for all the slanderous comments you made against him and the north....

Asari can't speak English. Take note! Op get a life

Is this not the same issue that Rotimi has been complaining about? The same issue that Asari and Co insulted him severally. ....Now they have come to realise the truth..The east West Road which serves the Niger Delta states has been on repair for more than 8 years still working one lane.....And yet some clueless southerners will wake up to say let's support Jonathan he is our brother...

If this is true that a staunch and loyal Jonathanian like Asari said this, I'm afraid Jonah is a goner come 2015

It's a distraction, it's a stunt all in the bid to get the desired outcome of making GEJ the next President.
Play a sucker 2 catch a Sucker, Appear dumber than ur Mark. Play 2 pples fantasies
#STAY SCHEMING

d guy just knows dat if Gej looses... d rest of Nigeria wud be waiting for dat war Asari promised... he is using style to beg...lol

Untill we drop all sentiments, we can move forward as a nation

If i hadnt read the news myself,i wouldnt have believed that Asari said all these...Alhaji,loosing hope already? e otiri nkankan.GMB all the way.
Meanwhile,have you all read about what OBJ wrote about GMB? Here is the excerpt for those who missed it..

''Gen. Muhammadu Buhari is an
upright man. Not many people know
that his first daughter is married to
an Igbo man from Anambra. He
exempted Christians from
performing duty on Sundays. When
his Muslim soldiers asked him to
exempt them from dutyon Fridays
he told them the Bible says
Christians should rest on the 7th
day, the Muslims should show him
where the Quran says they should
rest on Fridays.”As Head of State he
slashed the number of Muslims
going on pilgrimage by 50%. His
driver and cook for the past 10
years plus are Christians yet some
uninformed Nigerians say he is a
bigot. It is a pity that some people
failed to understand that PDP
deliberately capitalised on the
gullibility of Nigerians to paint him
black. This they did in order to keep
their loot and ensure that he never
gets the opportunity to send them
to jail. How many Nigerians would
hold appointment in government as
Minister of Petroleum, PTF
Chairman and Head of State, yet
don’t own a house in Abuja or all
over Nigeria. He has only one house
and never kept a foreign account.
Love him or hate him but you
cannot take his integrity away from
him.”
– OBASANJO FACT

Have never for once take this man talk serious. He was the same man that sometimes said last year on channels t.v that whether Jonathan contest or not he will win 2015 election. I guess maybe the ball doesn't suit his court again. Hypocrite

When you brought up old Anti-buhari news as far back as 2001 and the 19s nobody scream "Old news". Some even made frontpage.

The gods are needed here...

BabaGod, deliver this country, give us GMB.
