2023 Presidency: Asari Dokubo Speaks On Jonathan Joining APC

Asari Dokubo, a former militant commander, has warned ex-President Goodluck Jonathan against joining the All Progressives Congress, APC.

If Jonathan wants to run for President again, Dokubo advised him to join other political parties rather than the APC.

The former militant commander said in a Facebook live yesterday that luring Jonathan to the APC was a ploy to mock him.

Dokubo stated that he opposes the former President’s joining the ruling party before 2023.

“I do not support Goodluck coming to contest election under the APC. 100%, I’m not in support. Because many of his followers fought the APC government and had gone hungry throughout this period without any aid from him. And without consultation, he will just come out.

“If Goodluck wants to stage a comeback, let him go to other political parties: YPP, SDP, etc. Why should he want somebody to anoint him before he contests the election?” Dokubo said.

A northern faction bought Jonathan’s APC presidential candidacy paperwork on Monday.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo distanced himself from the organisation through his spokesperson, Ikechukwu Eze.

However, there are rumors that Jonathan was in Otuoke, Bayelsa State, collecting up APC membership cards.
