Dokubo Speaking Jonathan’s Mind On Sensitive National Issues – Rep Member

Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Abdulrahman Suleiman Kawu, has alleged that leader of the disbanded Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force, Mujahid Asari Dokubo spoke the mind of President Goodluck Jonathan when he alleged that former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), masterminded the blasts in Kaduna last Wednesday.

Kawu said Dokubo's allegations portray him as a true enemy of
peace, saying the former Niger Delta militant leader might have been tele-guided by the presidency on his "unguarded utterances in recent times".

Dokubo had last weekend alleged that Buhari, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, masterminded the twin bomb blasts in Kaduna, which nearly took his life and that of a prominent Islamic scholar, Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi.

But in a statement yesterday, Rep. Kawu said: "We do not need a soothsayer to tell us that indeed, Asari Dokubo has been speaking the mind of Goodluck Jonathan and in most cases he spoke on his behalf and at his behest".

However, President Jonathan had on Sunday again condemned the masterminds of the blasts, saying if they had succeeded in killing Buhari and Dahiru Bauchi, Nigeria could have been thrown into turmoil.

Rep Kawu said: "The circumstances surrounding the twin Kaduna bombings and many others give room for suspicion of some other unseen hands in it other than what we are being told on daily basis by the Federal government and its security agencies".

The lawmaker wondered "Why is it that more than 48 hours after (Dokubo) made the allegations against Buhari, neither the presidency nor the federal government has cared to respond to him or even distant themselves from him?"

"Dokubo, by his utterances, attitudes, arrogance and actions does not in any way portray him as a true Muslim who loves peace. A true and genuine Muslim will at all times preach peace and seek peace but not Dokubo. He is one of those who use the name of Islam for his selfish motive and commit all manner of atrocities", Kawu alleged.
