IbnSultaan:
I do not like responding to Asari Dokubo's
frequent unguarded rants and vituperations for
the mere fact that silence is the best answer given to
a fool. However, his recent call to arms in a meeting
of some so-called ex-militants in Bayelsa is one that
should be given a response, since the appropriate
authorities (DSS, NPF, etc) have failed to respond. By
the way, in Nigeria, under President Jonathan, an ex-
militant is more honoured, revered, and dreaded
than an ex-soldier.
In the beginning, President Jonathan's
supporters tried to play the religious card by
branding General Muhammadu Buhari a bigot
but it didn't sell. They tried to write him off in
the eyes of Nigerians on account of his age...
that failed too. Next was his educational
qualification. They embarked on a fruitless
effort to discredit the APC presidential
candidate by alleging that the retired General of
the Nigerian army who once headed the
Supreme Military Council does not possess a
Leaving School Certificate. They made so much
hue and cry over Buhari's certificate issue that
one would think they had forgotten the road to
the court. That effort also failed.
Alas, after exhausting all tactics and antics
available to them to sway public opinion against
Buhari, the supporters of Goodluck Jonathan,
are now openly threatening violence should
their man loose out in the February 14
presidential election, whether or not the entire
electoral process is free, fair and credible. In
other words, their own shallow understanding
of democracy is that everyone "must" vote for
Goodluck Jonathan, despite the fact that his
failure in all ramifications of governance is
unparalleled in the history of Nigeria.
There are a few issues I like to underscore from
this evil declaration.
Firstly, where is Marilyn Ogar, the
spokeswoman of the PDP... sorry, DSS? Only a
few days after the Abuja peace accord, and
some disgruntled individuals headed by an
orangutan called Asari Dokubo are already
threatening war should their candidate loose
out in the election, and the security agencies in
the country are not paying any attention to it. If
the Abuja peace accord, which had the buy-in of
the National Security Adviser and the
Commander-In-Chief himself, was anything to
go by, one would have expected that Asari
Dokubo, Tompolo, Boyloaf, and the other empty
vessels who are part of that infamous Yenagoa
declaration should by now be in the custody of
security agencies writing statements, at the
least. Indeed, one would have expected the
operatives of the DSS to swing into action with
the same level of swiftness with which they
invaded the APC data office in Lagos.
Secondly, this early and unwarranted threat of
war is a clear indication that Goodluck Jonathan
and his supporters have conceded defeat even
before the day of the election. Otherwise, if
they were confident of victory, there would
have been absolutely no need gathering in that
coven where they issued that call to arms. My
advice for them is that they should not forget
they have consented to an amnesty deal.
Therefore any resort to arms ever again would
mean that they would be exterminated like flies
by government security forces and heaven will
not fall. It is a deal they willingly agreed to, and
they just cannot eat their cake and have it.
Thirdly and finally, I like to urge my fellow
Nigerians who earnestly yearn for change not
to be intimidated by these opportunistic ethnic
jingoists, but to take them for who they truly
are: empty vessels known for making the
loudest noise.
Goodluck Jonathan has been given a fair
opportunity to serve at the highest level in this
country, and he bungled it. He made a barrage
of promises during his 2011 campaigns. And
now in 2015, four years after, instead of giving
us an account of his stewardship by telling us
how much of his promises he has been able to
fulfill so that we can on that basis assess his
performance and decide whether to retain him
for another four years or kick him out, he is
busy going round the country making a fresh set
of promises, most of which are clearly
unrealistic (like creating two million jobs per
annum for the next four years if re-elected,
when he couldn't create that amount of jobs for
the entire six years he has been at the head of
government).
God-willing, elections will hold as scheduled by
INEC, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will be beaten
black and blue in a fair contest, and the only
redeeming path that will be left for him to take
will be to congratulate the winner, General
Muhammadu Buhari.
If Asari and his co-miscreants try anything
stupid, they will be effectively shackled and
caged, even to the delight and relief of their
own kinsmen whom they have been brutally
lording over.
Asari has been thrown into prison before by
President Obasanjo. But for the magnanimity of
President Yar’Adua of blessed memory, he
probably would have expired there. I am as
much a South-Southernern and a Niger-Deltan
like him and his fellows. I hail from Edo State,
and I was born and raised in Warri, Delta State.
I make bold to say that change in Nigeria is not
only possible, but inevitable! No amount of
threat can stop us from achieving it, not even
from Asari Dokubo multiplied by a thousand
and all the Niger-Delta criminals benefitting
from illicit contracts from the inept Jonathan-led
government put together.
I reiterate, come FeBUHARI 14th, Goodluck
Jonathan will be defeated by the ballots, and
not even the bullets will be able to save him.
