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!

jonah must win oh.

Who be this one?

See plenty talk.

Tell those TANoids make dem here ; APC form is still out.

ikombe:
jonah must win oh.

He has won. its just APShit propaganda...where is the source? By the way see bellow:

Is Gen.Buhari trying to impose Sharia law on Nigerians if he wins 2015 presidential election? Read what he said some months back below.....

"I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria."


"God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country."

As true as most of the issues raised are as they border on the Niger Delta n South East n Nigeria in General, We all know Asari he is too much an IJaw man to desert GEJ now. Na awareness him just wan create.. GEJ till Francis accepts islam

Asari could be sensible sometimes

barcanista:
Asari could be sensible sometimes

Sensible if he speaks what pleases your mind... I get your logic

Well done!

ikombe:
jonah must win oh.

Oh,you means Jonah must go

A sari is an enlightened man. I don't know if he went as far as the university but he is well informed opinionated. A true friend or ally doesn't hesitate to tell you the truth. Going public, however, implies Asari has lost his place in the kitchen cabinet of GEJ

Baawaa:

Oh,you means Jonah must go

whats dis fowl saying.
