The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as reckless, irresponsible and totally condemnable the alleged threat by Mujahedeen Asari-Dokubo to levy war against Nigeria even if President Goodluck Jonathan is defeated even in a free and fair election in 2015.<\/p>\n
\n
It said the SSS must act immediately or be damned.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201dThere is no better test of the fairness, non-partisanship and professionalism of the SSS than this Asari-Dokubo\u2019s threat to levy war on his own country. If Asari-Dokubo is not above the laws of the land, he must be hauled before the SSS, just like the service did to our Deputy National Secretary, to explain his statement,\u201d APC said.<\/p>\n
\n
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said despite the attacks by oil militants in the Niger Delta and the ongoing insurgency by Boko Haram in some parts of the north, Nigeria has not witnessed a clearer and louder call to war than Asari-Dokubo\u2019s senseless vituperation since the country\u2019s civil war ended in 1970.<\/p>\n
\n
It said Nigerians are waiting to see what the SSS, which recently detained for many hours the APC\u2019s Deputy National Secretary Nasir El-Rufai over his warning against election rigging in 2015, will do now that an ally of President Jonathan has threatened the very existence of Nigeria, by saying he and his fellow militants would cripple the economy of the country not only in the creeks but also in Nigeria\u2019s territorial waters.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201dWhat on earth gave Asari-Dokubo the confidence to issue threats against a whole nation? If he doesn\u2019t care about elections and democracy, how else could his hero, President Jonathan, have come to power? Does he know the meaning of anarchy? Does he think anyone, no matter how big, is more important than his country or bigger than its constitution?<\/p>\n
\n
\u201dWhen he said President Jonathan \u2018must complete the mandatory constitutionally-allowable two terms of eight years\u2019 or the militants will make Nigeria ungovernable, was he aware that even the North that has become his favourite whipping boy did not complete its own eight years before his kinsman became President?<\/p>\n
\n
\u201dIt is not Asari-Dokubo\u2019s fault. When we warned against the handing over of the nation\u2019s maritime security to a company owned by an ex-militant in 2012, many thought we were crying wolf where none existed. But the threat by an ex-militant to ensure that no vessel will be allowed to enter the nation\u2019s territorial waters unless President Jonathan is re-elected has shown the dangers inherent in such actions,\u201d APC said<\/p>\n
\n
The party wondered why President Jonathan, who said his ambition is not worth anyone\u2019s blood, has neither condemned nor call to order his out-of-control kinsmen like Asari-Dokubo, who speak either on his behalf or for his benefit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
