The leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF,
Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, has demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution
of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his former deputy, Atiku
Abubakar, for his alleged role in the raging crisis within the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP.
He also asked President Goodluck
Jonathan to deal decisively with the members of the “New PDP” led by
Kawu Baraje, especially the seven governors in its fold, by arresting
their associates.
Mr. Asari-Dokubo, who stated this in an
interview with PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday in Abuja, however, refused to
speak about former military president, Ibrahim Babangida, who he said
had not taken sides with either the breakaway group or the mainstream
PDP led by Bamanga Tukur.
Atiku and the PDP governors of Jigawa,
Kano, Sokoto, Kwara, Rivers, Adamawa and Niger States belong to the
Baraje faction of the party. They announced the birth of the faction
last August 31.
Mr Obasanjo headed the PDP elders team that
mediated unsuccessfully in the crisis, though some of the governors are
believed to be his political associates.
