Call Asari-Dokubo, Edwin Clark to order now – Shuluwa, Tsav tell Jonathan

One of the founding fathers of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Abu King Shuluwa, has advised President Goodluck Jonathan to call the duo of Chief Edwin Clark and Asari Dokubo to order, by cautioning then to stop making defamatory and inciting statements.

The party chieftian in a statement issued yesterday faulted Asari Dokubo, an ex- militant for insulting the intelligence of Nigerians and declaring Alhaji Atiku Abubakar a persona-non-grata in a country that belongs to all Nigerians.

“Unfortunately, even Clark has turned the issue of Presidency to an Ijaw fight. Where were they in 2011 when Nigerians trooped out in their numbers to vote for a Nigerian President, not an Ijaw President?”

“These people’s utterances are becoming unwarranted. Is this the first time the minority in Nigeria is producing a President in the country?,” he asked.

Similarly, a former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, has also cautioned that the duo should be called to order.

Tsav in a statement issued in Makurdi, Benue State capital on Monday said , “Our soldiers fought to keep Nigeria as one, during which many lost their lives, where was Asari Dokubo? He cannot and should never destroy a house which he did not partake in building.

“Asari Dokubo has no monopoly of violence, unfortunately Nigeria is a country where the enforcement of law is discriminatory in favour of government and party thugs; that is why anyone on the payroll of government can threaten to unleash bloodbath in the country and security agencies are doing nothing about such threats.”

“I urge President Goodluck Jonathan and Chief Edwin Clark for whom Asari Dokubo is working for to tame him and call him to order; while I also call on former Presidents Ibrahim Babangida, Olusegun Obasanjo and other eminent Nigerians not to withdraw from the ongoing peace talks.”

“I love Falcao and Cavani” – Wenger

Image
Arsene Wenger has reserved praise for strikers Edinson Cavani (Paris Saint-Germain) and Radamel Falcao (Monaco) and hailed them as two of the best in the world. However, the Arsenal manager feels Falcao is slightly better in front of goal, although Cavani is more mobile. The two strikers will come face to face this weekend, in a keenly anticipated Ligue 1 clash. “I believe it’s very difficult to make a difference because for me they are very similar. They have an animal aspect inside of them. Both of them are animals,” Wenger told Bein Sport. “I think Cavani is a bit more mobile, and makes more runs off the ball, and Falcao is a bit more of a box player, a bit more of a killer than Cavani. “But both of them, I love. And honestly, not to protect one or the other, but it’s very difficult to make a difference between the two.” Cavani has scored twice in the French league this season, since his summer move from Napoli, while Falcao has four

The battle between the Federal Government and the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has attained a new intensity following a 7-day ultimatum issued by the Presidency. Some of the striking lecturers have remained adamant despite the obvious waning in the resolve of their members evidenced by the withdrawing of some universities from the strike. The academic body has taken things even further by warning parents not to allow their wards resume in schools to avoid risking the lives of their children. Vanguard  reports : The Presidency, on its part accused ASUU leaders of treachery and warned the university lecturers not to dare the resolve of government to carry out its threat to sack them if they failed to resume.

President Goodluck Jonathan, however, clarified, weekend, in Bayelsa th
