The Niger Delta militant leader Asari
Dokubo yesterday said that after
Goodluck Jonathan’s term in office is
over they will take their oil away
.Asar Dokubo made the threat in a 20-
minute phone conversation with Dr
Peregrino Brimah, the Sahara Reporters
correspondent.Brimah reports that the
conversation was a very heated one,
which ranged from the topic of Boko
Haram to the 2015 national
elections.
Asari Dokubo was said to be
unrepentant and aggressive in his total
support for the rule of President
Jonathan.Below is Brimah’s account of
the conversation between the two.I told
him that at a time I had respected him
(Dokubo) but now he has lost all my
respect; asking how much money would
make him support a killer leadership. I
asked how insensitive he was...
witnessing
how
Jonathan’s corruption had undermined
the army and how the president’s
failures (not complying with the Paris
summit agreement to station 700 troops
to defend the border) directly led for
instance to the death of over 2500
defenseless Nigerians at Baga.He
mentioned Fulani.I asked what the poor
Kanuri fishermen and farmers of Baga
had to do with a so-called Fulani
thing.He responded that the killings were
in the north and he had no business or
care about that. He further cited wars in
other places and the example of Libya
and the sack of Moammar Gaddafi.I told
him that in those cases there was not an
inebriated and cluelessly corrupt
government that caused the preventable
wars and asked him why then does he
support Jonathan who disgraced Africa
being the first African leader to support
the NATO destruction of Gaddafi and
Libya in effect, while great leaders like
Jacob Zuma stood behind Libya.He said
something about having trained in Libya
and accused General Buhari, chief
opposition candidate of receiving funds
for his presidential campaign in 2011
from Gaddafi.I did not understand his
point, because I supported Gaddafi and
Libya against the colonialist sponsored
invasion and have no grouse with
Gaddafi.I insisted; that why will he
support a Jonathan who aided the
hegemonists destroy North Africa by
sacking Gaddafi, now leading to the
proliferation of arms and instability in
the entire region.I went on to ask him
how much he had been paid and what
this money was worth, that it made him
sell his soul for a hopeless candidate.
He
continued a tirade against the North, the
“Gambari’s” and the Yorubas, saying all
were traitors and that why am I
interested in the Fulani ruling me.I told
him that this conversation had nothing
to do with Buhari; that if he wanted he
should not support anyone, or should
have brought out a responsible candidate
from his family, but how does his
conscience feel supporting someone who
was killing innocent people across the
country.He responded again accusing
Yorubas, the group to which I belong, of
being traitors and bragging of all the
bombs his terror group had detonated
across Yoruba land.I told him that his
desperation for a penny had made him
betray the true struggle of the Ijaw
people; I pointed out that Bayelsa was
the most polluted piece of land on the
planet with terrible suffering.He
challenged my stats and asked me what I
knew about Bayelsa.I responded that I
lived there for a year and that the sky
there is still red with burning of natural
gas. I told him how oil spillage has
destroyed their ecosystem under
Jonathan.He asked how long Jonathan
had been there.He asked me why I was
not invited to attend it.I asked where his
conscience was and how he felt about
the deaths of thousands of innocent
people because of the little change he got
from the corrupt Jonathan government.I
told him that the money does not pass
the fourth generation and that the little
money he gets that has made him betray
the Kalabari kingdom and great King
Amachree and the people of Ijaw land
will be finished before he knows it and
shame will remain to his name.He went
on a tirade about some stuff I could not
really understand. It had to do with
killing and bombings and stuff.I told
him he was a coward.He was very upset
throughout the interview. I really wish
he pays attention to his blood
pressure.Interestingly, he has a Chief
Security Officer, CSO; his CSO named
Commander George believes in Nigeria.
