It is an insult to ask Jonathan to become a Muslim - Dokubo

Perhaps, never before has the former President of Ijaw Council (IYC) and leader of the Niger Delta People Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Alhaji Mujaheed Dokubo- Asari spoken in such a fierce manner.

To him, recent issues that have bedeviled the polity, ranging from the state of insecurity and threats against the presidency of  Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to the persistent calls for convocation of a nation conference need to be addressed.

On the call for Jonathan to become a Muslim or resign

The arrogance of Shekau and his group is unislamic. Which President if not Goodluck, will accept somebody to tell him to become a Muslim or resign?

What kind of insult? Is that what the Prophet Sallalahualihiwassalam did? Become a Muslim or this…? That is an insult. You don’t push somebody beyond the point he can go. The insult is too much. Did you do it to Abacha, IBB? They are not
the only ones that can kill. I don’t know why they will not listen.

They are behaving like the deaf, the dumb and the blind. Death and starvation are coming to their house, yet they are showing arrogance. Let nothing happen to Goodluck, because if anything happens to him, the world will know.

What Jonathan must do

Goodluck must correct the 55 years of injustice. He must be fair to all. Goodluck must convocate sovereign national conference. Goodluck has every power, every moral responsibility to convene a national conference, where we will all sit down and talk. We can live together peacefully, but we must dialogue. Goodluck and those in his government should live by example.

I don’t see any reason why Goodluck should be traveling up and down, instead of sitting down to do what he was elected to do. Somebody who is carrying an elephant on his head cannot be looking for snail with his legs. We have endured with him for two years, we can endure more, not everybody will continue to endure. We need to build our capacity. Goodluck should know this.

For us as a people, over dependence on government for everything will not help us. I know that government is the greatest distributor of wealth in Nigeria, but I still believe that depending on government for everything will not help us. That is why Goodluck must ensure that this government builds a capacity where the people will do something to create wealth without looking into the direction of the government.

We ended the anti- subsidy protest in Lagos ; therefore we will impress it on Goodluck to do what is right for the people. In Edo State , we saw a good government that thinks of the people, we moved in and supported the Comrade Governor.
