Dokubo not a genuine N’Delta activist Asari Dokubo likes to invoke the name of Adaka Boro and what he stood for. But I tell you, none of the militants of contemporary time including Dokubo is like Adaka Boro. They can’t invoke his name. It’s a desecration of the name .Why? Adaka Boro was an undergraduate at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, when he was touched by the plight of the Niger Delta people. He left his studies at Nsukka and organized his five-man revolution. He was poor, not a millionaire. He had not got any bank account, but was fighting a selfless cause, not like these ones fighting for their own pockets. All militants of today are millionaires through kidnapping and all kinds of criminal activities. Adaka Boro is one of the greatest men Ijaw produced in the 21st century. Dokubo, it’s on record, said he made his first million from former Governor Peter Odili…what brought him into national limelight was the Ijaw Youth Council election which was fixed for him to emerge president because Odili didn’t want another person there. Leader without followers You should ask what his political locus is now. He has no followers. All you see around him is hired crowd. He has lost his base with his selfishness an unguarded statement against (Henry) Okah. He sponsored candidates for the IYC presidency and executive, all of them lost. He sponsored for local governments, Asari Toru Local Government, all of them lost and the latest — two of his wives contested in the National Assembly elections, both of them lost. So, where is his political base to make newspaper headlines? He is just looking for relevance. In my university residence, Asari used to be here to solicit help, including money. This is because his mother and my mother are of the same father, that makes us first cousins, that is why we were so close. He broke his fast here in Sankore Avenue, whenever he was with his Muslim friends at Sallah in Ibadan. We had to cook specially for him. My reaction is, therefore, based on this blood relationship. First, because his vituperations are an embarrassment to the family, and it is also dangerous for Jonathan. In spite of what he’s done to me, I can’t turn against him, but he has to be cautious. This I told Dr. Karibo, another cousin who took care of him when he was in detention. Asari once said Awo was a criminal. Then Gani Adams of Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) threatened him and he quickly apologised. Does that make sense? Anyone that can desecrate a personage like Awo, is he a responsible person? Anytime he made such a goof, I always went to the press trying to pour oil on troubled waters. Same way I did, when he called the Gambaris parasites. Asari Dokubo tried to assassinate me It’s true, Asari and a group wanted to assassinate me while I was Odili’s guest. It was this security man, Ade, who mounted protection for me. He came shouting war songs. I went to report to the police, he was arrested and detained, then granted bail. But, he jumped bail and the person who stood surety for him was going to be detained, I had to plead for him. If Asari says I’m lying, let him take his Quran and swear by it. State of the nation Nigeria is in the most perilous time. If Jonathan stays till 2015, there‘ll be turbulence in Nigeria that‘ll threaten the unity of the country. There’s no guarantee that the Igbo‘ll be president in 2015. The issue of zoning is not dead, but on suspended animation and will rise again in a fiercer form than today .The only people that‘ll probably not lay claim are the Ijaw people. The April election The last election was not free and fair because a lot went underneath. What the international observers saw that gave the impression of success were orderly queues, which do not translate to free, fair and transparent election. Their presence doesn’t ensure credibility of the process, although it checked some tempers. What they did was sample. They themselves confessed that Nigeria is so big, they can’t be everywhere. Can they go to the creeks? Let’s not deceive ourselves. Source: http://www.osundefender.org/?p=16239 |
