CPC warns against appropriating Nigeria’s interest to tribe

By Soni Daniel

The Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Monday, dismissed as an empty outburst, the threat by former Niger Delta warlord, Asari Dokubo, that there would be no peace in Nigeria if President Goodluck Jonathan was not returned for a second term in 2015.

The party asked Nigerians to ignore the selfish campaign by the controversial ex-militant to remain relevant in the political arena, when he is not in any way working for the collective interest and well being of the generality of Nigerians, who are looking for genuine change and leadership come 2015.

The National Publicity Secretary of the CPC, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin, told Vanguard on Monday that Dokubo was merely seeking undeserved attention from the Presidency for pecuniary reasons, adding that he would change his position when the time comes.


*Dokubo
Although he did not say who will be the President in 2015, Fashakin was categorical that Dokubo will eat his words and line up behind the new administration.

Fashakin said: “Dokubo will adjust the statement when that time comes. It is very easy for anyone to say anything when his stomach is full.

“He made the statement to protect the immense benefits flowing his way by reason of the proximate positioning with the ‘powers that be’ (at the expense of the people). When a truly people-oriented regime comes into power, he will adjust to the reality!”

I am thinking of Biafra. so i don't have any comment!

Its the likes of Fashakin that will recant after 2015 since you have choosen to align with those Hausa-Fulani people who have dragged us backward for decades.We have choosen to move ahead and you and your brothers can form your Republic of Buhari-Haram.

2015 is too far for Asari to recant. In few weeks time when he gets 'broke', he ll recant in order to get attention from Oga GEJ.

Of all the criminals/millitants benefiting from this government,Asari is the most foolish and stewpid.

This from The Herald this morning

Northern president or no Nigeria – CPC chieftain replies Dokubo, Kuku

A chieftain of the opposition Congress for Progressive Change, Hon. Farouk Adamu Aliyu has declared that ‘it is either a Northerner as President in 2015 or there will be no more Nigeria.

Aliyu said this in an interview in Abuja as a direct response to the ex-Niger Delta militant and leader of Niger Delta Volunteer Force, Mujahid Asari Dokubo declaration on Sunday that ‘there will be no peace in the country, if Jonathan was denied a second term’.

Aliyu, who ran for the governorship of Jigawa State on the platform of the CPC, said it is unfortunate and sad that Dokubo is still walking the streets a freeman after making such unguarded statement.

He warned that “if Jonathan, Dokubo and their people want to destroy this country, then we are willing accomplices.

The ex-lawmaker who claimed to be speaking for the people of the North warned that nobody has the monopoly of violence adding that such arm-twisting tactics as was exhibited by the Presidential Adviser on Niger Delta Affairs, Kingsley Kuku in United States some days ago, will not work.

He said, “Few weeks back, Kingsley Kuku, the presidential adviser on amnesty programme in faraway America also went and made similar statements, which means President Goodluck Jonathan has already won the PDP primary election and the secondary election – that’s exactly what they are saying.

“Let me also use this opportunity to say on behalf of us in the north that nobody has monopoly of violence and that on behalf of the people of northern extraction, there shall be no one Nigeria if a northerner is not elected president of this country, because politics is a game of numbers and the Ijaw people are not up to one million or two million or even five million.

“So if in a democracy, the President will allow somebody to say if he is not voted, there won’t be peace – this clearly shows that they don’t want peace and the president is not a democrat.”

Is there any difference between Asari Dokubo and CPC Chieftain and ex-lawmaker, Farouk Adamu Aliyu in the news above?
It's appalling his hypocrisy. His statements are even more treasonable than Asari Dokubo's statement.

KnowAll: Someone should shut up this fat benioise militant with a bullet to d head. If men of virtue can be hung by abacha, men like ken wiwa saro how much more this loud mouth beer belly fagot.

Mr KnowNothin, its pathetic how foo.ls like u reason.. How dare u beat ur chest about the killin of "men of virtue" like Saro Wiwa.. Ediot, come and put the bullet in Asari's head.

U pi.gs wonder why men like me hate Buhari,... Same Buhari the claims Abacha was a saint.. Dont worry 2015 will surely come.. No region have the monopoly for violence..

Asari is talkin too much, likewise the "dogs and baboons" of CPC..

lol

[size=18pt]Asari has no other choice but to support his benefactor, Oga at the top.
Months ago, he was angry over the revocation of his multimillion naira contract with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). But since they have settled him, he is now happy to back President Goodluck Jonathan for life.
He who pays the piper dictates the tune.

Fresh facts about the reasons former militant, Alhaji Mujahideen Dokubo-Asari, took on the Goodlluck Jonathan-led administration have emerged. The former militant, it was said, was angry over the revocation of his multimillion naira contract with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

Dokubo-Asari had, at a recent press briefing, come hard on the Federal Government, rubbishing the administration of President Jonathan and decrying some of the government’s policies, even though he had at some time in the past appraised the government highly.

Indications, however, emerged that the former militant’s anger was fuelled by the decision of the management of the NNPC to revoke the contract it awarded to some of the former militants for the security and protection of oil pipelines and installation in the Niger Delta area.

Dokubo-Asari, it was said, was hard hit by the decision, hence his attack against the Federal Government.

According to the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, Honourable Kingsley Kuku, Dokubo-Asari was well notified of the decision to revoke the contract and the reason behind the action. The government, he said, wanted to ensure equity and proper protection of oil pipelines and not just to dole out patronage to some individuals in the Niger Delta because they are former militants.

Honourable Kuku, who is also the chairman, Presidential Amnesty Programme, disclosed at a media interaction at the weekend that the revocation of the contract by the NNPC was not punitive, but to bring sanity into the entire operations.

“It was taken to bring order to the entire programme. For instance, Dokubo-Asari, who is my friend, was told to register his organisation with the Corporate Affairs Commission. Upon registration of a proper company, he would, of course, have his staff working for him. If he had done that, he could then reapply for the same contract,” Kuku stated further, adding that government felt the need to properly channel security activities in the Niger Delta by ensuring that those given the contract to secure pipelines had full control of their areas and that they were from the particular area the pipelines passed through.

According to him, it would be improper for Dokubo-Asari, “who is from Kalabari, in Rivers State,” to take the contract to secure pipelines in Bayelsa ahead of a native of Bayelsa, just as it was doubtful if Tompolo would secure Kalabari area better than Dokubo-Asari. “Government felt that the security of the pipelines should be well spread, for maximum effects and that people from a particular area should secure the facility in their area. That way, we would have effective protection for these facilities,” he stated, adding that government wanted to do things properly and not just for anyone to be collecting millions of naira from government.

“What If another government comes tomorrow and decides to discontinue with the arrangement? I believe the decision was taken to even protect the interest of the like of my brother, Dokubo-Asari,” Kuku said.

Meanwhile, those who may be thinking that the amnesty programme of the government will run forever, should perish the thought as the programme, it is said, will terminate in 2015.

Kuku, who is the chairman of the programme, disclosed that it would officially terminate in 2015. He, however, disclosed that some elements had been finding ways to abuse the programme, even when it had since been declared close in 2009, alleging that some members of the military Joint Task Force were in league with some of such individuals, claiming they were militants and were ready to surrender their arms and embrace the amnesty programme.

But Kuku said that for the avoidance of doubt, the amnesty programme would not run forever.

“It should end in 2015,” he noted.[/size]

Asari is the latest spokesman for GEJ and not Niger Deltans. So he(Asari) should continue with his threats of war if 2015 doesn't favour the continuation of his pipeline contract.
