Dokubo-Asari, Northern youths at war over 2015 issues...

It’s fire-for-fire - Dokubo-Asari
The leader of the Nigeria Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, in this interview with CHRIS AGBAMBU, speaks on a number of issues affecting the polity, including his alleged provocative comments about the 2015 election as regards the fortune of President Goodluck Jonathan. Excerpts:

You were quoted as saying there would be crisis in 2015 if President Jonathan did not win. What were your reasons for such a comment?
What was reported was not my complete statement. My statement was very clear; they must make Jonathan win in 2015, it is not negotiable. 2015 is not negotiable. We have two terms of eight years and nobody can stop us from having it. That is my position. They have been ruling all this while, it is our turn to complete our eight years of uninterrupted tenure, and we are not going to negotiate that. Now, a lot of people talk, like somebody saying ‘pipeline contractors.’ Such a man is a fool because the people they gave oil blocks from my own backyard can talk. What is pipeline contract? You see, they think they can blackmail us into submission, but that era is over!

But what about the argument that the late President Umaru Yar’Adua did not complete his tenure, hence, the north should be allowed to complete it?
The constitution is very clear on this matter. Jonathan did not kill Yar’Adua. Yar’Adua knew he was sick and so should have said ‘I am sick, give it to another person,’ but the ultimate thing to them is to gain power and oppress others. So, we are saying if Yar’Adua cut a half of our own, or we cut out of Yar’Adua’s own, it is not our business. We did not make it so. Eight years uninterrupted; that is what we want and that is what we will have. Even after that, the North does not have the moral right to the presidency. They don’t. It should go to the South-East.
