Deputy National Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress, Mallam Nasir Elrufai has described leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Voluntary Force as an abnormal human being and a thug.
Elrufai made the comments while being interviewed by Sahara TV concerning his recent ordeal with the State Security Service.
The SSS had invited Elrufai to come and explain statements credited to him about the forthcoming elections. However Dokubo, a known supporter of President Goodluck Jonathan was never invited for making significantly more inciting remarks.
Elrufai simply said there would likely be an outbreak of violence if the 2015 elections were rigged whilst Dokubo said Nigeria would burn if President Jonathan was not re-elected.
When SaharaTV posed a question on whether the SSS had mentioned Dokubo’s own remarks, elRufai said, “Asari Dokubo is a thug. I don’t compare myself to him. I’ve never taken up arms against the state. I’m a normal human, law-abiding Nigerian. I don’t compare myself with thugs”.
