Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation
Force, NDPSF, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari has again stated that desperate
politicians from the northern Nigeria are ungrateful parasites who have not
appreciated the south and especially the Niger-Delta for depending on their oil
proceeds over the years.
Asari’s outburst was a reaction to
the comments recently made by the Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido
that staunch supporters of President Goodluck Jonathan such as Asari and Chief Edwin
Clarke were making incisive statements in their bid to secure a second term for
Jonathan.
But
reacting to the statement, Asari who was also the former national President of
Ijaw Youth Council, IYC and Jonathan’s kinsman in a telephone chat with press
said that the north was bleeding over their loss of political power.
He stated that until the zone
disabuse its mind from the mentality of “born to rule”, they would continue to
meet stiff resistance from their southern counter-part.
“The president will win. There is no
other option. If they contest they are wasting their time. He who pays the
piper will dictate the tune. We own them. We are feeding them. They are
parasites. A beggar has no choice. In all religions, in Islam, everywhere… if
you are a beggar, you will respect the one who gives to you. They are beggars
and parasites.”
