WARRI – FOUNDER of the Niger-Delta
People Volunteer Front, NPDVF, Alhaji
Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, has declared that
he was ready, bullet for bullet, for those
who want to stop President Goodluck
Jonathan in 2015.
He stated this in Warri, weekend, just as
the founder of the Oodua People’s
Congress, OPC, Dr. Frederick Fasehun ,
said nobody can stop President
Goodluck Jonathan from contesting for a
second term in 2015, assuring the
South-West geo-political zone would
support him ( )
Both men spoke at a memorial public
event in Warri, Delta state, for the late
Ijaw hero, Major Isaac Jasper Adaka-
Boro.
According to Dokubo-Asari, “We have to
demand what belongs to us, 2015 is not
about Jonathan, but about our destiny, if
you allow them, they will crush you
when they come. I am ready for them
bullet for bullet".

He said the battle line for self-
determination has been drawn, as the
people of the region would no longer
accept being second- class to the people
of the North.
His words, “The battle line is drawn, if
our representatives in Abuja are trading
off our destinies we will not accept it.
The enemies are at the doorstep waiting
to pounce, having NDDC, ministerial and
ambassadorial positions are not enough,
we want to control our resources.
“When the enemies come with their gun
to shoot you down, I will also hold a gun
to fight back, the day will come, they
will come for you, there is no sitting on
the fence. When they come, they won’t
differentiate between Urhobo, Ijaw,
Itsekiri, Isoko, Anioma, Edo, and other
ethnic nations,” he asserted
Dokubo-Asari said he was not afraid or
ashamed to support Jonathan who is
from the Niger Delta, stressing that he
supported Abacha government, so why
not Jonathan who is a fellow Ijaw man.
“The oil belongs to us in the Niger Delta,
don’t be ashamed to stand up for your
right, I supported Abacha, so why won’t I
support Jonathan, the North have that
mentality of born to rule but we are
saying no it has changed.”
He warned those sending threatening
bulk sms to him that, “They use bulk
sms to send me message that I will die
but they don’t know that I am ‘Edi-
abali’ (he who kills in the night). We
celebrate Boro because he doesn’t
believe that dialogue will give you
freedom but freedom comes through
the barrel of the gun.”
Dokubo-Asari took a swipe at the
amnesty programme, saying, “There are
those who went to the creek for other
businesses, amnesty is a stigma, an
enemy will never give you what is good,
I challenged it by going to the court. You
will be walking on the street and they
brand you a criminal because amnesty is
for criminals, we are freedom fighters,
and so, we can’t be part of amnesty.”
He declared, “We have to demand what
belongs to us, 2015 is not about
Jonathan, but about our destiny, if you
allow them they will crush you when
they come. I am ready for them bullet
for bullet.”
“Every rich man that is from this region
is a threat to them, which is why they
use their man to crumble many of the
banks owned by the southern people.
Jonathan has given Nomadic and Almajiri
education to the North, which is
amnesty for them, a lot of things are
being taken for granted before now but
we won’t take it,” he said.
Fasehun, OPC leader decried the call for
the arrest of Niger-Delta activist, Alhaji
Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, over his
comments on Jonathan’s re-election,
saying those calling for his arrest were
misguided.
His words, “Since the constitution
guarantees Goodluck Jonathan two
terms, which Jupiter can deny him the
privilege?”
“Those who condemn Dokubo for his
statement, where were they when the
likes of Atiku Abubakar, Adamu Ciroma
and Muhammadu Buhari swore to make
Nigeria ungovernable should Jonathan
win the presidential election in 2011?
“Why are these commentators not
pointing fingers correctly, now that the
foot-soldiers of these evil and
belligerent politicians have captured
governance and turned public worship
into suicide mission? He said.
He further queried, “Where are these
armchair critics now that the whole
North is burning with bomb blasts and
shootings and the corpses of young
Southerners and Christians are being
shipped back home for burial?
He added. “It is in this spirit that we
fully throw our weight behind the State
of Emergency that President Jonathan
has declared in the three states. It was
long overdue. Our only quarrel is with
the
retaining of the Governors and
Legislators in their positions.”
“However, the emergency rule leaves
no one in doubt that Jonathan is not only
the President but also the Commander-
in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
