Jonathan Hires Asari Dokubo, Other Niger Delta Militants To Threaten Labor Union Leaders

From Sahara Reporters
Determined not to bow to the popular wishes of Nigerians who are protesting against his government’s hike in fuel prices, President Goodluck Jonathan has resorted to hiring Niger Delta militants to threaten labor union activists who are currently leading their workers in a nation-wide strike. Our sources within the government revealed that Asari Dokubo, an ex-Niger Delta militant turned government lackey, had been recruited to coordinate the intimidation of critical sectors of the protesters.
Determined not to bow to the popular wishes of Nigerians who are protesting against his government’s hike in fuel prices, President Goodluck Jonathan has resorted to hiring Niger Delta militants to threaten labor union activists who are currently leading their workers in a nation-wide strike. Our sources within the government revealed that Asari Dokubo, an ex-Niger Delta militant turned government lackey, had been recruited to coordinate the intimidation of critical sectors of the protesters.
In interviews earlier today, two officials of the Petroleum and
Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) told
SaharaReporters that Asari Dokubo had made several threatening phone
calls to Folorunso Oginni, the chairman of the Lagos zone of PENGASSAN,
as well as Comrade Babatunde Ogun, the group’s national president.
“Asari Dokubo told our leaders that oil platforms will be occupied by
Niger Delta militants if PENGASSAN decides to shut down production in
solidarity with the ongoing labor strike,” said one source.
One source in the Presidency disclosed that President Jonathan had
funneled funds to Asari Dokubo and a few Niger Delta militants in a bid
to use them to harass striking unions.
“Nigerians and the world need to know that President Jonathan is
personally authorizing and funding militants with a history of violence
to intimidate labor leaders whose only offense is that they are pursuing
legitimate demands through time-honored means,” said a lawyer who said
he had been made aware of the threats.
