We’ll vote out Jonathan in 2015, northern group replies Dokubo-Asari

National President of African Youth for Conflict Resolution (AYCR), Dr. Suleiman Shuaibu Shinkafi, has said that President Goodluck Jonathan would be voted out of the Aso Rock in 2015. Shinkafi who spoke in reaction to Mujahid Dokubo-Asari’s statement, described the Niger Delta activist as a daydreamer living in a dreamland for him to have declared that if President Jonathan did not return in 2015, there would be war.

He told newsmen in Kaduna yesterday that the North would not allow President Jonathan any other four years, because of the number of people that had been killed in his first tenure. “So, if he is going to spend another four years, you can imagine the number of innocent lives that will be lost. “We, therefore, call on him to step down honourably but if he refuses, we will remove him by force. The northern youths have taken a stand and it is that we are not going to vote for President Jonathan come 2015.


Therefore in his own interest, he should not even make any attempt to vie for the presidency come 2015, because he is going to meet a strong opposition,” Shinkafi stressed. He reiterated that northerners were no longer going to tolerate the inciting comments from Dokubo-Asari, saying it was totally unacceptable. “He is a joker, we have contacted most of our youths in northern Nigeria to tell them that the lies this government is giving us is unacceptable.” Shinkafi equally expressed dismay at the lukewarm attitude of the various security agents towards Dokubo-Asari’s comment.

He said, “this is a man who should be charged for treason but he is at a VIP suite at Transcorp Hilton Hotel because he is from the president’s homeland and he is playing the tune set for him by his paymaster. In another development, Shinkafi said northern youths were giving President Jonathan two weeks to evacuate the military from the streets in the North. “We are law abiding citizens and we don’t need the soldiers on our streets. It is part of the president’s plans for 2015; we are aware of it and they should leave our streets within two weeks and if he refuses he should be held responsible for whatever happens.”
