Former Niger-Delta militant leader,
Alhaji Asari Dokubo, has said the
2015 general elections were the most
rigged in Nigeria.
He spoke on Sunday in Owerri, where
he graced the Biafra Day celebration.
He said figures clearly showed
differnet levels of manipulation.
“The elections were not free and
fair. Also, the stage was set to
manipulate the elections”, he said.
Dokubo blamed the activities of Boko
Haram insurgents on leaders from
the Northern section of the country,
mostly the Northern Muslims.
He recalled that the elites in the
zone vowed to make the polity
unstable and ungovernable for ex-
President, Goodluck Jonathan.
He, however, blamed Jonathan’s loss
on the use of card readers.
“Our brother, Goodluck Jonathan
refused to listen to us. To him, the
life of any Nigerian was not worth
his election or ambition.
“For us, that was an abdication of
his duties as President because we
were also involved in the elections
and we wanted a free and fair
elections”, Dokubo said.
He wondered why Jonathan, who
could not vote even after four card
readers were used, did not stop the
election.
“That was the time Dr. Jonathan
ought to have taken action and
stopped the fraud that INEC called
an election.
“He did not do it. It was in the
middle of a crucial match that the
referee, Professor Attahiru Jega , who
is from the same place with
Muhammadu Buhari, issued a
statement that if card readers
cannot confirm your finger prints,
then you can go on and vote”.
