The leader
of Niger
Delta
Peoples
Volunteer
Force
(NDPVF),
Mujahid
Dokubo
Asari, on Thursday called former President
Olusegun Obasanjo the “Chief Assassin of all
times” in response to the former leader’s recent
letter to President Goodluck Jonathan.
In a letter to Obasanjo, Dokubo, who has previously
sworn that there will be hell on earth if Jonathan is
not re-elected in 2015, rebutted Obasanjo’s claim
that Jonathan is training a special killer squad to hit
1000 supposed opponents of his government.
Asari also claimed that Obasanjo was responsible
for his recent arrest in Benin Republic, and that he
had wanted him dead when he was President, but
failed after several unsuccessful plots.
“I want to remind you of the startling move you
made on my life during the momentous days,
leading to the historic Isaac Boro celebration on the
16th of May 2005,” he recounted. “At that time the
Bayelsa state Government was under Chief D.S.P.
Alamieseigha. Chief DSP Alamieseigha had warned
that the 1million man march the NDPVF was
organizing to protest the injustice of the Nigerian
state against the Ijaws and other oil bearing nation
should not hold and would not be allow into Bayelsa
state because of a security report that emanated
from you that I didn’t know at the time. The report or
plot to truncate the march was grave and
dangerous, as the Executive Governor of Bayelsa
State Chief D.S.P. Alamieseigha, told me the
Bayelsa State Government couldn’t guarantee our
security – my security.
“The Governor, Chief D.S.P. Alamieseigha was
away in South Africa at the time. Goodluck Jonathan
was then the acting Governor of Bayelsa state, and
asked us not to come into Bayelsa state of course
we brushed off all obstacles whether real or
imagined that were mounted not to let us into
Yenagoa.
“Chief D.S.P. Alamieseigha then informed me that
you – General Olusegun Obasanjo, sent 5 snipers
to kill me in Yenegoa and that he -Chief D.S.P
Alamieseigha accommodated them at the
government house in yenegoa. That he traveled out
of the state and directed the Bayelsa State
government not to allow me into Yenegoa to avoid
my being killed in Yenegoa by your snipers - as he
didn’t know if you had sent other snipers into the
state.It downed on me, why Dr. Peter Odili, gave us
all the resources we sought– it was to push me into
a den of your snipers – because he offered us
assistance even when we are not the best of
friends, providing all the resources we needed to
convey us out of town.”
Insisting that Obasanjo is the leader of killers, Asari
stated, “ I wonder why you, the Chief Assassin of all
times, would accuse President Goodluck Jonathan
of training 1000 snipers and having a watch-list of
political opponents when he has tolerated your
insane excesses along with your mutinous gang
which no head of government the world over would
have so tolerated forgetting so soon that this was
the same infamous journey you embarked on during
the regime of General Sanni Abacha that nearly cost
you your life.Until date, the mystery surrounding the
death of your kinsman and former Attorney General
and Minister of Justice, Late Bola Ige’s death has
not been unraveled. So also is that of my kinsmen
AK Dikibo and Chief Marshall Harry. At the time they
were felled, AK Dikibo was national vice chairman
(south-south) of the PDP while Chief Marshall Harry
was former national vice chairman (south south) of
the PDP and also the national vice chairman (south-
south) of the ANPP, as president of the Federal
republic of Nigeria you were the national leader of
the PDP. At that time, many public analysts
described the PDP as a nest of killers. Governor Orji
Uzor Kalu of Abia state, clearly stated that your
hands may not be clean regarding the brutal killing
of the then Vice Chairman of South-South Zone of
the PDP – A.K. Dikibo.”
Asari also described Obasanjo as an ethnic
champion, contrary to his national slogan.
“Name one Nigerian leader that wasn’t known for
his clannish, ethnic and tribal interests,” he
challenged. “How has Nigeria fared since
independence if not on the tuft of steely ethnic
considerations? How do you expect President
Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan to be divulged of
this, after you led many others in the display of
ethnic and tribal purges?
“Why have you singled out Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe
Jonathan to be sacrificed on the altar of ethnicity,
sectional and bloody intrigues, designed to incite
Nigerians against the Ijaws and his government? Is
it because Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is an
Ijaw man or as you once described him - as a weak
minority leader of Nigeria whose aspiration must be
limited because he is an Ijaw man.What often
creates violence, especially in Africa is when
unguarded utterances are made by well connected
ethnic chauvinists that provoke untenable ethnic
bickering, bad blood and insinuation of violence,
amongst hitherto friendly people in a multi-plural
state. I find your warning that President Goodluck
Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan maybe the last Ijaw to rule
Nigeria a little childish. I believe you think the Ijaws
are far too small, too few and deeply insignificant to
assert any ambition to rule Nigeria. The dream of
Ijaws is not to rule Nigeria but to rule a country that
is theirs – a truly great and free country that
believes in the dignity of labour and the virtues of
good leadership. If Ijaws won’t rule Nigeria then
they must seek their own country, in line with
universal principles of self- determination and rule
ourselves because Ijaws won’t succumb to be
made slaves- Never!”
He concluded that the former president was behind
his recent arrest.
“Finally, your evil plot to put me away before the
2015 general election failed in the Republic of Benin.
I end this piece by saying Allah is on my side.
Despite your brutal attack on me, and plot to kill me,
Allah has been my helper and has not abandoned
me. Your blood-curdling incitement of the
authorities of the Republic of Benin against me, at
my exiled home, so as to have me docked, tried and
sentenced for national security related offences
replays what you did before. The fact that I escaped
unhurt when all hope was lost is a pointer to my
supernatural fortification, leading and protection. In
your plot to have me sidelined, Allah used President
Goodluck Jonathan to rescue me.”
