Jonathan is a disgrace to the Ijaw people, he’s weak – Dokubo-Asari

Former militant and national leader of the now rested Niger Delta Peoples Volunteers Force, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari has described President Goodluck Jonathan as a disappointment to the Ijaw nation, saying that he’s weak and unassertive as a leader.

Dokubo-Asari stated this while reacting to the ongoing power tussle in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The former militant lamented that Jonathan could not take bold and courageous steps to handle the situation like a true Ijaw man who is famous for boldness and exceptional courage.

He told National Mirror that the President should be guided by an Ijaw famous saying, “Ama Doko Doko Biokpo,” which he interpreted to mean “small, small towns but they are very courageous and keep hope alive.”

Asari-Dokubo said he was still unhappy over what he termed “poor response” to the crisis rocking the ruling party by the Presidency.

He thus advised Jonathan to emulate former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, who confronted and dealt with the rebels in the party during his tenure.

He asked Jonathan to stop further peace talks and negotiation with persons like Obasanjo and former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar.

He said, “Jonathan is disgracing the Ijaw people and people of the South-South by negotiating with these dissidents. I am terribly annoyed by the way he is handling this issue, he is a disgrace. If he cannot withstand them, he should tell us because there is no basis for negotiation.

“This is the time for Jonathan to act like an Ijaw man and he should stop disgracing us.
“Jonathan should hit them and he should tell us if he cannot hit them so that we can help him to hit them mercilessly. I have the potential to hit them hard. It is on record that I once held Nigeria hostage and Nigeria could not produce oil for 48 hours and my activities forced the prices of crude oil globally to rise by $30 one day. It was unprecedented and I can repeat it.

“The plot against Jonathan will surely fail, but the President should be decisive with these people once and for all. Jonathan should assert himself as the President and put these people where they should be. Obasanjo, who is leading these people did two terms and he plotted a third term.

“There should be no negotiation with dissidents. It should be total war, no retreat, no surrender and let us see who will run first. There is time for peace and there is time for war. This is the time to go to war.

“Jonathan should know that this is the time for war and if he cannot sustain the war, we will help him to sustain it. How many governors attempted to frustrate Obasanjo? Ibori and others were united behind Atiku Abubakar to frustrate Obasanjo and they failed because Obasanjo was strong, assertive, decisive and courageous.

“Jonathan should be strong to deal with them but whether he is strong or not, we are ready to support and stand by him. It is not a one-man battle but a total war and they must be totally vanquished.”
Meanwhile, Asari-Dokubo has called on Jonathan to hand over the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, to the ex-fighters in the Niger Delta for a decisive action.

On Amaechi, he said, “Let the security men step aside and let us see how Amaechi can come to Rivers State. Amaechi should not be protected because he has betrayed the collective interest of the Niger Delta.
“Jonathan should be decisive and look at the other way and allow us to stand on the streets for 24 hours and we will see whether this madness by Amaechi will not end.”
