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. More after the jump.................
“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.”
