Asari-Dokubo Promises Bloodshed If Jonathan Is Not Re-elected In 2015

Niger Delta Activist and ex-militant,
Mujahid Asari-Dokubo on Sunday
threatened fire and brimstone if President Goodluck Jonathan does not return as president in 2015.
Speaking on Politics Today, he said “2015 is
already a settled matter; Goodluck Jonathan
will be president in 2015. Whether they
contest or they don’t contest, Goodluck
Jonathan will be president,” he said adding that
he would be ready for violence if needed.
Replying to comments made by former Head of
State, General Muhammadu Buhari, he warned
that that “if they say the blood of the dogs and
the baboon will be soaked in water on the
street, in blood on the street, in salt water on
the street, we will help them soak them in
blood”.
The former Head of State was reported to have
said that “If what happened in 2011 (alleged
rigging) should again happen in 2015, by the
grace of God, the dog and the baboon would
all be soaked in blood,” in May of 2012.
Buhari spoke in Hausa while addressing
members of the CPC from Niger State, who
paid him a courtesy visit in Kaduna. He also
warned that 2015 would be bloody if the
elections were not transparent, just as he
dismissed reports that he would not contest
the 2015 presidency.
Buhari who painted a gory picture of Nigeria
as that of a hound and a monkey engaged in a
battle for survival said, “God willing, by 2015,
something will happen. They either conduct a
free and fair election or they go a very
disgraceful way”.

Declares Intention To Join PDP
The fiery-speaking Dokubo while making public
his decision to the People’s Democratic Party
(PDP), also explained the reason behind
dumping the defunct Action Congress of
Nigeria (ACN).
Dokubo, who claimed to own the party
secretariat in Port Harcourt, the capital of
Rivers State, noted that “somebody cannot stay
in Lagos and decide for Rivers people” adding
that it is an insult on Rivers people, we will be
our governor, we will be the governorship
candidate of our party”.
He said the situation “is an insult on me, insult
on the people of Rivers” warning that “it is not
going to be possible”.
He then said “we will not leave Goodluck
(Jonathan) alone, I will declare for the PDP”
noting that “we will fight, because this battle,
there is no retreat no surrender”.
