2015: Why Jonathan has already won –Asari Dokubo

Leader of the Ni­ger Delta Peoples’ Salvation Front (NDPSF), Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, has declared that Presi­dent Goodluck Jonathan has already won the 2015 presidential election and he owes apology to no­body.

Dokubo stated this at the weekend, during the burial ceremony of his grand­mother, late Princess Preba Ekineh, at Buguma in Asa­ri-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State.

He said it was not pos­sible for the incumbent president, who is from the Niger Delta region to lose the election, no matter who his contender was.

The Niger Delta agitator maintained that the incum­bent president must win the election, adding that though he did not know how it would be done, that he had confidence in Jonathan’s victory in the forthcoming general elections.

“In 2015 general elec­tions, Goodluck Jonathan will win, in whatever way they want him, he will win. I am not apologizing to any­one. I am not afraid of any­body. He has already won. My confidence is that he has already won.

Speaking on the gover­norship race in the state, the Niger Delta warlord said a high level of injustice was played out in the Rivers pol­ity, insisting there should be power rotation.

Dokubo emphasised that the state was made up of many ethnic groups and there should be equity and justice. He warned against the consequences of the po­litical injustice in the state, especially meted out on the Ogoni ethnic nationality.

“But, for Rivers State, I do not know because there is injustice in Rivers State. Why I said that there is in­justice in Rivers State is that, one set of people can­not continue to rule.

“Rivers State is a multi-ethnic state and all ethnic nationalities must have ac­cess to government. So, whoever that is encourag­ing this perfidy, does so at his own peril because it will boomerang,” he warned.

According to him: “The way out of this danger is to do the right thing. The right thing is to make an Ogoni man the (governorship) candidate of Peoples Dem­ocratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC). It must be an Ogoni man for all the political par­ties,” he insisted.
