RE: BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE (RE:
OBASANJO’S LETTER TO PRESIDENT
GOODLUCK JONATHAN)
Ordinarily, I would not want to dignify you with a reply to your
ill-conceived letter, as that has a way of oiling your elbow or prop
your self- importance – provoking your well-known self-
will.
I have also delayed my reply for one reason- to perfectly gauge
public opinion on your latest onslaught against President Goodluck Ebele
Azikiwe Jonathan – President of a country full of mind-boggling
contradictions that you’ve always, falsely regarded as your personal
creation.
At least that’s the spirit behind your insolence, impudence and
make-believe that point to the fact that you’re above national censure,
ideological / ethical direction and control.
Finally, I have had to reply you because of the nature of my past
encounters with you – encounters that I feel should convey my deepest
sense of grief, as it relates to your recent gaffes, shocking errors and
dwindling self-esteem.
It is a common knowledge that if not for the imperious nature of
Nigeria and the monumental fraud that attended its creation, caused
primarily by the 1914 Lugadian error, it would’ve been very difficult
for the likes of you to stand before me, talk less address me as a
leader.
This is so as my royal pedigree, as an Amachree and as an Omubo with dignified accoutrements would’ve denied you such leverage.
In comparison to your nebulous background, I doubt what your shadowy
pedigree is, what you’ve always avoided in all your discourses, and
which you’ve deliberately shrouded in obscurity.
Because if indeed your pedigree is anything significant in the Owu
quarter of Egbaland, many like me would’ve long known it, or deduced it
from your puffy, inestimable swan-songs that reinstate your pride and
vaulting ego.
Nobody has ever attested or verified the history of your background.
The background of a man is important because it is what depicts his
social standing and sense of history. Many even doubt if you are a true
Yoruba man.
With such strings of doubtful pedigree attached to your person and
with a history of dreadful perversities that is attached to your memory –
this is as your characteristic way of life- defeats customary belief,
ground norms and persuasions.
I wish to state that but for history and posterity, my grandmother
Princess Okukuba W.D.Goodhead scion of the great King Amachree, royal
lineage of the Kalabari state, in the Ijaw heartland, taught me the need
to clear all false accusation or charges that are designed to malign
and mislead others, whenever they are hatched by depraved trouble-makers
like you. Connected to this is
the need not to allow any cowardly abuse or insult to go unanswered,
especially when mischievously made by the lowest of the lowest amongst
rascal folks, to whose rank you belong.
Sometimes I find it hard to believe that you once led this country.
I find this very enlightening that you seem to provide the true
reason why this false entity called Nigeria; have had unending,
mysterious and tragic incidences ever since you were thrown up to direct
the affairs of this geographical area called Nigeria- striving
vigorously to dictate her down-ward push, down the edge of a vaulting,
irredeemable precipice.
Your negative influence over Nigeria seems to define and redefine
this fraud-state called Nigeria that has since her creation, done more
harm than good to those entrapped in it.
In other to educate you on my background, I am Mujahid Dokubo-Asari;
was born Melford Dokubo Goodhead( Jnr) to an aristocratic family in
Kalabari. I am the son of my father,
Hon Justice Melford Dokubo Goodhead (Snr) a descendant of a long line of
jurists, inventors, scholars, statesmen and successful business men.
Because of my outstanding background and seeming feat of personal
success, I’ve repeatedly shunned the toga of false, foreign and dubious
praise-singers that you crave in your bid to get every attention from
all quarters. I don’t seek to be venerated by men or pursue inordinate
hero-worship from perceived lackeys – what you’ve lived for and pursue
with zeal. Therefore I remain who I am – Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, Alabo Edi
Abali of Kalabari – a great scion of the King Amachree dynasty.
