Leader of the Niger Delta People’s
Volunteer Force, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, has dared the House of
Representatives and leaders of northern Nigeria to arrest him if they
can.
Dokubo-Asari, who spoke with journalists
on Wednesday evening in Abuja, said he stood by his words that there
would be no peace if Jonathan is not reelected in 2015.
He was responding to calls by members of
the House, Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State and northern
leaders, saying the leaders were cowards if he was not arrested.
The former President of Ijaw Youth
Council also added that any attempt to arrest him would make Nigeria “a
history”, He said, “I stand by my statement which I
made in my early press conference. There will be no peace, not only in
the Niger Delta, but everywhere, if Goodluck Jonathan is not president
by 2015.
“I want to refresh your memories with
comments made by these northerners, who had in the time past threatened
war and break-up of Nigeria.
“In 2010, one Lawal Kaita said and I
quote: ‘Anything short of a Northern President is tantamount to stealing
our Presidency. Jonathan has to go and he will go. Even if he uses the
incumbency power to get his nomination on the platform of the PDP, he
would be frustrated out…The North is determined, if that happens, to
make the country ungovernable for President Goodluck Jonathan or any
other Southerner who finds his way to the seat of power on the platform
of the PDP against the principle of the party’s zoning policy’.
He added, “I am not afraid of arrest. I
am saying it bold and clear without mincing words, that the
consequences of my arrest, Nigeria will be history. “The last time Obasanjo arrested me, my
arrest reduced Nigeria oil production to 700,000 barrels per day. This
time, it will reduce it to zero barrel, and we will match violence with
violence, intrigues with intrigues.
We are ready for them. Goodluck
Jonathan will complete his tenure of two terms, whether they like it or
not.
“I am daring them to arrest me if they can. If they don’t, they are cowards and shame on them.”
