The leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Mujahid Dokubo-Asari has described the governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi as a “traitor”.
Dokubo-Asari said the governor would be treated as one for daring to confront the president on government policies and issues regarding the 2015 elections.
The ex-militant said this yesterday on a phone-in radio programme in Port Harcourt saying the political ambition of the governor is not in consonance with that of the people of the state.

He said, “Amaechi and his commissioners can go back to slavery and continue to serve the northerners, who claim to be born to rule. We will never go back to slavery. We know the quality of those who are commissioners in Rivers State.
“Amaechi and his ambition must be tied to the ambition of his people. In Kano, Amaechi said he would run as vice-president, if invited. I speak with all sense of responsibility. The oppressed people of the Niger Delta, through President Jonathan, will win in 2015. We will win clearly and convincingly.
“Amaechi is a traitor and he will be treated like a traitor. Amaechi is not more Ikwerre than me. It is about liberty to rule. Amaechi wants to take us back to slavery. It will not be possible. The era of northern godfathers is gone.
“President Goodluck Jonathan will win in 2015. If they do not allow him to win, they will not be able to handle the consequences. An end must come to the suppression, oppression, repression and marginalisation of the people of the Niger Delta.
“The South-South and South-East people have been brushed aside for too long. People of the North said they would make Nigeria ungovernable for Jonathan, if he won in 2011, which they are doing.”
In his reaction, the state Commissioner for Agriculture, Mr. Emmanuel Chinda, said contrary to Dokubo-Asari’s claim, Amaechi was not a traitor.
Chinda, who reacted through the phone-in radio programme, expressed dissatisfaction over Dokubo-Asari’s position on issues concerning the governor and the state.
He accused Dokubo-Asari and a few others of creating problems between President Goodluck Jonathan and the state governor for their selfish interests, adding that the people of the state were behind Amaechi.
Illetercy n foolishness.dis is noting but eye service n i wonder y at ur age asari abi wat do dey call u dat u still tink lyk a ram.many have gone six foot below n u r no way better dan dem.its ur choice.u wan follow?

Asari is a mad man looking for recognition
Asari Dokubo should go and sit down and look for something doing instead of talking trash, Amerchi has every right like every other nigerian does and also to support who ever he wish to support. GEJ is to be blame for all this rubbish going on from the angle of Asari Dokubo, he has not open is badluck mouth to publicly kick against what Asari said. And for those who said nigerian will be ungovernable for GEJ, they shall surely meet their water loo. God bless Nigeria
