Despite the opposition to the 2015 re-election bid of President Goodluck Jonathan, Leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, has said there is nothing to worry about, that the President has already won.
Dokubo-Asari’s statement is coming at a time opposition to the 2015 presidential ambition of Jonathan by the Alhaji Kawu Baraje-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is on the prowl.
He wondered why Jonathan would be talking and discussing with Governor Sule Lamido’s group whom he called political miscreants, people who do not have political value.
Dokubo-Asari said Lamido and his group were irrelevant to the realization of the president’s ambition, querying: “If Lamido could not deliver Jigawa State to Jonathan in 2011, of what relevance is he in realizing it in 2015?”
Reacting to Lamido’s interview in last week’s Sunday Sun in which the governor said, “Dokubo-Asari is a small boy, his entire clan, I don’t think they are up to one million people. If his entire clan are not up to one million people, you just ignore him,” Dokubo-Asari lampooned Lamido, saying that people like him should not even be listened to at all.
“Jonathan has already won. Whether they vote or they don’t vote, that is their business. He will win and if they like, they should go and hang themselves. For people like Sule Lamido to even be listened to, is very regrettable. This is a man who is living according to his antecedents; a man who rebelled against the greatest Northern political ideologue, Mallam Aminu Kano. These people have never been on the side of their people.
“I would forgive him because Ijaw people are not protesting about scientific census. It is people like Sule Lamido that are protesting that the chairman of the National Population Commission should be sacked. It clearly shows that they have something to hide.
“There is no where in the world where the arid part of the country is more populated. All over the world, population is at the coast. Population centers are at the coast, where there are economic activities. We live in a scientific world. So, when the time comes, he will know. We don’t even need to be 200 people to teach him a lesson and put sand in his mouth.
