Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Alhaji Mujahideen Asari-Dokubo, has said that the Jonathan administration has lost focus and was quickly losing the support of the groups that brought him into power.
The NDPVF leader in an interview with journalists in Lagos, said his kinsman was surrounded by people who were bringing him down. He also criticized Reuben Abati for his “rubbish and childish” attacks on Jonathan critics.
He said, “I don’t want to reply Abati, the famous author of crab theory, who was desperate to defend his boss just because he wants to justify his wages. What does Abati know? Am I struggling to be President in 2015?”
“What is the correlation between why is the East/West Road not being constructed and the poor performance of the Presidency, including the inability of President Jonathan to curb corruption in his administration and the crab theory by Abati?”
“Abati is just childish; his arguments were baseless, just struggling and managing to salvage the dwindling fortunes and sagging image of the Presidency.”
Dokubo said he was willing to continue to support Jonathan if he got his act together.
“I am ready and willing to help him in 2015 but there is something wrong with him (Jonathan), he has been hijacked by some people and he is not doing anything to remove them. Jonathan is not on course at all. Jonathan is destroying his presidency”.
“For instance, he got to power majorly by the support of the social media that is the vehicle in which he was brought to power but as I am talking to you today, he has lost all his Facebook fans. He (Jonathan) is going down every day.”
“How can he (Jonathan) deliver when everybody around him are sabotaging him? The people around Jonathan are vicious but somebody like me will not keep quiet to allow Jonathan to lead us to avoidable bloodshed.”
Speaking on a question related to the possibility of mending fences with the President, Dokubo said he was not yet ready for peace moves.
“I am not ready to be called by anybody because I went to him (Jonathan) many times to intimate him that his conduct would bring disgrace to us. I told him that my brother, you are not doing well. My conscience is very important to me, I cannot keep quiet at all, it
makes me sick.
“But I am and will continue to fight for him (Jonathan), for the Ijaw nation, the South/South and the deprived people, who stood by him (Jonathan). What Jonathan represents is greater than him.
“The Presidency does not need to reach out to me. Jonathan is not representing himself, Presidency is not the personal property of Jonathan; it is the property of those who died throughout the country to make him the president of Nigeria in 2011.”
He also called PDP BOT chairman Tony Anenih “a liability to the Presidency with credibility baggage.”
What does this guy smoke?
This ɪ̣̝̇ƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇ the 1st time Asari Dokubo ɪ̣̝̇ƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇ talking like a human being. I’m amazed. Infact, those words was Ϟö† from him I contest. But if truely Ȋ̝̊̅τ̅ was, then I now believe in change.
Jonathan should immediately Ђåvε̲̣̣̣̥ a re-think in his choice of actions. He should start with removing Reuben Abati, Ahmed Gulak, Labaran Maku and Bamanga Tukur if he really want to contest and win the coming 2015 general presidential election.
