Asari Dokubo Calls Northern Politicians, "Parasites"

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.
Lamido had in his statements decried the
candidacies of Jonathan of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP and General
Muhammadu Buhari of All Progressives
congress, APC.
He was quoted as saying that the duo were
capable of setting Nigeria ablaze with their
ambition.
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 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, every where… if you are
a beggar, you will respect the one who gives to
you. They are beggars and parasites.”
