I hate Obasanjo, but he was instrumental in bringing Jonathan to power – Dokubo-Asari

asari dokuboFormer president of the Ijaw Youth Council, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, recently spoke with some journalists on issues of national concern, including the alleged face-off between President Goodluck Jonathan and his estranged political godfather, ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.

On how he thinks the administration of President Jonathan is faring so far, Dokubo-Asari said there have been no changes and it is business as usual. He also acknowledged the vital role President obasanjo played in ensuring the Jonathan emerged as the president of the country.

His words:

“First, there was no need for Jonathan, whatsoever, to disagree with Obasanjo. I don’t like Obasanjo, I don’t like his face, I hate him, but he was instrumental in bringing Jonathan to power. And the greedy people around Jonathan have not managed him well enough to prevent an open clash between him and Obasanjo… Some people say Obasanjo is manipulating Jonathan, that is why Jonathan is disagreeing with him, and we ask: ‘what has Jonathan’s government achieved to show that it is a departure from other governments that have existed since 1956?’ For us, nothing has changed. It is still business as usual. So, what is the advice that Obasanjo gave to Jonathan that is so difficult for him to fulfil, that made him to decide to fall out with the former President?”

  1. DOKUBO ASARIi:- NOOOO, because OBJ helped Jonathan to power does not give him the license to have all the SAY & not allowing Jonathan to Concentrate in his Job, @least OBJ has ruled for 3 consecutive times & unable to move the Nation forward So, what has he got to Say or offer ????.
    However, Nigerian Citizen are not interested in whatever differences or disagreement between Jonathan and OBJ but our interest is moving Nigeria forward, OBJ should please live Jonathan alone and let him Concentrate in moving the Nation forward from its Current Stagnant position. OBJ should be advised to leave Nigeria alone because he failed Several time despite having the chances to move the Nation forward but Greediness never allowed him. ” Operation feed the Nation” & “Obasanjo farm Nigeria Ltd” just to mention few. Is Nigeria meant for Obasanjo & his family ???. if am opportuned to speak with him, I have 3 question to ask him, which I know he wouldn’t be able to answer the 3 question. OBASANJO should Abstain from misleading or giving advice to Jonathan and I strongly advice his Excellency Jonathan to be bold & be a MAN. However, any good leader should always be Confident to use the power given to him to do the right things & nobody should be above the Nation’s LAW. Nigeria is meant to be ONE, but it is NOT unless we’re deceiving Ourselves. Jonathan please STOP been Scared, @least, its a “BULLET”.
