Former Niger-Delta militant leader, Alhaji Asari Dokubo, has said the
2015 general elections were the most rigged in Nigeria.He also said
former president Jonathan lost his re-electionbid because he did not
take their advice.While speaking during a chat with
the media in Owerri on Sunday, Asari who said
he was in Imo to be part
of the
Biafra Day celebration with his Biafran
brothers and sisters,said
“The
figures were self evident. The figures clearly showed the
manipulations. The elections were not free and fair. Also, the stage was
set to manipulate the elections”, 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”
He also said when president Jonathan should have taken action when he was humiliated,after four card
readers were brought as he stood waiting and all of them rejected him.He said
“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”,
