abducted Chibok female students or negotiate
with Boko Haram for their release, Asari
Dokubo is still going on with his campaign
that "No Girl Is Missing". The Governor of the
state, Kashim Shettima is angry at Asari's
antics but he can't waste his time to reply
him.
The Governor's spokesman, Isa Gusau blasted
Asari in very strong terms and exposed his
antecedents:
The statement reads: "Governor
Shettima is too serious minded to reply
Asari Dokubo who is just a joker as most
Nigerians regard him. As a onetime
journalist covering the Niger Delta, I had
come in direct contact with Asari when
he organized a rally in support of late
Gaddafi in Port Harcourt and also when
he organized the 2011/2012 Isaac Boro
lecture in Port Harcourt which he kept
interrupting, taking over the
microphone from people like respected
lawyers like Festus Keyamo,
intermittently speaking without protocol
and without shame like a child.
He is just a joke, no reasonable Nigerian
takes him serious. He was reported
saying Chibok abduction was a sham, I
won't be surprised if by next week the
same Asari Dokubo leads another rally
to counter the one he just held. Last
year, Asari was reported speaking against
the Presidency, then he changed tune
now, we don't know what happened but
that is how he is...
He uses the media for personal interest
and some sort of blackmail. He wants to
be regarded as a hero but I tell you that
no one sees him as such in the Niger
Delta that I had covered . He is trying to
force unwilling public to see him
different from who he is but like a say
goes, 'you can fool some people all the
time, you can fool all the people
sometime but you cannot fool all the
people all the time'.
Asari dubiously took advantage of Isaac
Boro event which attracts participants to
say what he said so that the procession
would seem like a support base for his
isolated opinion. I saw some pictures of
some girls in one house displaying some
placards, from the faces, I think he
probably assembled some of his
immediate and extended family members
and gave them placards. One person
wrote on all the cards, the same writing,
all of which look like a sort of Mickey
Mouse scene in cartoon series.
How can Governor Shettima reply a
jester, how can he respond to such a
play by Asari that falls far below the
standard of Nollywood when he is busy
working very hard with all relevant
bodies finding ways on how to secure
the freedom of his and Borno's precious
daughters in captivity?"
President Goodluck Jonathan was thus advised
to distance himself from Asari Dokubo for his
own good.
