The Presidency, yesterday, described the allegation by leader of Niger Delta Volunteer Force, Mujaheed Asari-Dokubo that President Goodluck Jonathan is surrounded by greedy people, who may prevent his possible re-election bid in 2015, described Dokubo’s assertion as a crab mentality begotten from a wrong premise, which does not reflect the feelings of Nigerians about the current administration and the President.
Abati, who spoke to State House correspondents in Abuja, also described allegation by Dokubo of a rift between President Jonathan and President Olusegun Obasanjo, as untrue.
Abati said Dokubo’s attack on the President amounted to a member of the house, who stands outside to urinate into the same house. He urged him to see the big picture and worry less about greedy people who are preventing other Ijaws from reaching the President.
“I was quite surprised that he would talk like that because as he himself admitted in that interview, he is close to government. So, I don’t know whether it is a wise thing for you to be a member of the house and then stand outside and urinate into that same house. Doing so may serve the purpose of sensationalism and it may please some mischief makers, but the truth of the matter is that wise people may think that that is not really the right way to go,” he added.

Haba! dr Abati, u are fast losing touch with reality (maybe knowingly or otherwise) but I wonder what happened to d good old days of professionalism in journalism.
ReplyDeleteYes imagine him saying that the view of the Nigerian people is different frm what Asari Dokubo is saying, of course Abati knws better that we Nigeria doesn't like Jonathan we are just waiting till 2015 to vote the idiot out.
ReplyDeleteAbati you should please let the Nigerians share their views regarding your godfather. Dokubo's closeness to the gov exposed him to thd rift in the administration which you must seal, otherwise that (rift) will be your out of Aso rock in 2015.

I USED TO ADMIRE ABATI BUT SINCE HE JOINED THIS PRESENT ADMINISTRATION AND INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT HE PRECHES, NOW DOES "DO WHAT I SAY AND NOT WHAT I DO"..... TOO BAD... ABATI..,. ALLL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD... LET ME SEE HOW U WILL FACE THE WORLD WHEN U ARE OUT OF ASO ROCK ...( U WILL BE OUT SOMEDAY).... I DETEST U
ReplyDeletewho told abbatti that GEJ is coming back 2015. GEJ will have no single vote from north where he inflicted insurgency called BOKO HARAM. if south east has 99% registered voters voted and all for one party then north too will record the same pattern and see who has majority. no single project. the most useless, hopeless and careless president Nigeria has ever produced. yeye hen wa no go lay egg. GOD will catch you in the air with that your plenty jets. nonesense. Otade from Ngala.
