Asari Dokubo: GEJ Lost Presidential Elections Because the Elections Weren’t Free & Fair
Niger-Delta political activist, Asari Dokubo is expressing his thoughts on why he thinks former president Goodluck Jonathan lost the elections.
According to Vanguard, Dokubo on Sunday stated:
“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.”
Speaking on the incident that occurred on election day in which four card readers were not working when the former president tried to vote, Dokubo 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.”
