Days back, we brought you the news that the South African Government has
seized another illegally ferried US$9.3 million arms money from
Nigeria. What we didn’t tell you was that Asari Dokubo, another Nigerian
and an Israeli were arrested.
You should know that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would not sleep without getting an answer from the President on what Asari Dokubo, was doing on the plane that illegally ferried US$9.3 million to South Africa,
APC is asking:
”Nigerians will therefore like to know on whose behalf Asari Dokubo was purchasing arms. This is very crucial because Asari Dokubo has been threatening that Nigeria will not know peace if his benefactor, President Jonathan, is not re-elected. Therefore, Nigerians will like to know whether he has started stockpiling arms to make his threat a reality, since elections are due in a few months’ time.
”If these arms are meant to fight insurgency, as the government has claimed, what is Asari Dokubo’s business purchasing arms for the Nigerian military, if indeed they were for the military?
“ Does it not occur to the Nigerian government that this man who once took arms against the state may not have jettisoned his sinister plan against the same state? Which country will ever allow a man who once carried arms against the state to now be purchasing arms for the same state?

“Even if it is true that he is purchasing the arms for the state, what prevents him from also using the opportunity to purchase arms for his own sinister motive?
“ Could this be why Asari Dokubo has been talking publicly and confidently, without official censure, that President Jonathan must be re-elected or Nigeria will not know peace again?” the party queried.
”…on Tuesday, we again asked President Jonathan to come clean on the US$9.3 million and US$5.7 million deals. We also asked him to tell Nigerians the identity of the two Nigerians who were on the plane that illegally ferried money to South Africa.
“Now that the Nigerians are known, and they are the President’s men, the story has taken a new dimension,” it said.
