Dokubo, who is also leader of
the Niger Delta militants that were granted amnesty by late President Umaru

from somewhere, and his people are ready to protect him. We are the ones

Jonathan has done well for Northerners, but they are not appreciating him. They
are aiming the presidency and his life. And they will not succeed.”

Insisting that he is not
