“Arrest me if you can,” the leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, has told the House of Representatives and leaders of Northern Nigeria.
Dokubo-Asari, reportedly addressed reporters on Wednesday evening in Abuja.
“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’.
“Today insurgent groups, in furtherance to Kaita’s call are wreaking havoc, attacking military barracks and seizing weapon, but we will not sit and watch. Kaita made this statement, nobody arrested or call for the arrest of this fellow, today he is walking free.
“Buhari made this statement in 2011, he was never arrested and nobody ever called for his arrest. In other countries, former leaders are being tried, but here, a man who overthrew a legitimate government, continues to threaten us with blood and nothing has happened.”
“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.”
The Punch reports:
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”, asking why those calling for his arrest turned deaf ears when some northern leaders like former Military Head of State Maj.-Gen Mohamadu Buhari, Alhaji Lawal Kaita and a former member of the House of Representatives, Farouk Aliyu, among others.
U RE HEARTLESS, URE A DEMON DO U THINK KILLING LIVES OF INNOCENT PPLE WILL MAKE JONAH P AGAIN. U AIN;T GOD ONLY GOD DECISDE NAND GOD WILL PUNISH U FOR UR CRIME EVEN IF U RE NOT ARRESTED
Cheap publicity my guy. U ain’t gonna do nothing Asari. If ur Jonathan does not know how to govern, he should take a walk period.
I love Dokubo's bravity.Since the house of Reps cannot order Buhari's arrest, who made more comments that jeopardized the security of this nation than Dokubo.they are cowards.
Mr Asariiiiiii…… The problem is not GEJ remaining in power or not. Even if you(Asari) will rule from now till the next 100years, you will still leave that seat, period!
God is the only supreme authority to decide whom to rule and when to rule.
Nigeria need peace and prosperity, war is NEVER an option for any rational being. Reflect towards a posive path. Thank you:)
In fact all this kind of useless people are suppose to be eliminated from Nigeria. are u God to decide whom our next president is to be? it would be better if u start destroying Nigeria now before the time.
But Buhari is too Old to rule us again… Senate should ammend Age limit in our constitution… Could Buhari browse the internet regularly?
Not even arresting him also suspend him. This country need to seperate, so that new government will create job opportunities to Nigerian youth. Asari we Igbos are supporting you…

House of Rep have met their match in Asari Dokubo.They can”t impeach him like GEJ and he won”t offer subsidy bribe…They need to re-think cos the man means what he says.
For the records; Lawal Kaita 2010 has been quoted, why not quote GMB 2011?
What is going on in this country…..boys are angry.
What is happening in this country…… Boys are angry….
Don’t mind them. Tambawal is pushing the northern agenda, and will do anything to frustrate GEJ’s administration but “God pass dem”. We will fight to the last drop of our blood for what is ours. Recently Junaid Mohammed has been making some inciting comments and nobody said anything. Let them try to arrest Asari and see what will be left of this mis-match called Nigeria.
Pls destory the country now.
