Leader of Niger-Delta Peoples Volunteers Force (NDPVF), AlhajiMujahid
Dokubo-Asari has lashed out atPresidentGoodluck Jonathan for allegedly
placing more value on the life offormer Head of State,General
Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) than other Nigerians.
President Jonathan had said Nigeria would have boiled had Gen. Buhari
died in a recent bomb attack in Kaduna.
Saying that such comment was uncalled for, the ex-militant leader also
rejected insinuations that he paid the mastermind of the blast N5m.
Dokubo, who denied working for President Jonathan also said that the
insinuation was meant to tarnish his image as a way of shutting him
out of 2015 electioneering process.
Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, he insisted his stance that General
Buhari has no good intentions for Nigeria as a result of the support
he (Buhari) gets from foreign leaders and organizations aiming to
destabilize the country.
He said: "I do not work for Jonathan. What the President said was
wrong. The life of Buhari is not more important than 87people that
died in that blast. It is unfortunate that thepresident made such a
statement. I wonder why the Presidentwill be promoting one person
above that of other Nigerians.
"That statement from the President was very unfortunate. I do have the
capacity to tell the President to apologize, but I still insist that
he should not have made such a statement.
"Soon after the blast, a cross-genderperson came out and was arrested.
Even the mother of theperson arrested said he was insane".
On working for President Jonathan, Dokubo said, "Social media
reportssaid I gave them N5 million to carry out the attack.
Thesethings are masterminded.
The first one is against PresidentJonathan and the other is against me.
"I did not pay anybody to carry out any assassinationattempt on
Buhari. I do not have anything against him. He isnot a threat. He will
fail in 2015. For the records, I donot operate a Twitter account and
anyone saying I tweetedthat there will be more attacks is only using
my name."
"They want to silence me because they know the roleI will play in
2015. They have also sponsored reports inBenin Republic that I am the
person financing Boko Haram.
"Another islamic scholar also said I am the one sponsoringBoko Haram
to destroy the north on behalf of PresidentJonathan.
"The Deputy Minority Leader in the House of Representativessaid I
spoke on behalf of President Jonathan. That meansBuhari is the
commander-in-chief of Boko Haram in the north.His allies came out and
made inflammatory statements duringthe 2011 elections."
Dokubo said he can prove how Gen Buhari was being funded by thelate
Leader ofLibya, Col. Muammar Gaddafi.
