Asari Dokubo Slams President Jonathan Over His Statement On Buhari Bomb Attack

On Tuesday, leader of Niger-Delta Peoples Volunteers Force Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo- Asari slammed President Jonathan over his comment that there would have been crisis if Gen. Muhammadu Buhari died in the Kaduna blast.

He said that placing one life over 80 other people that died was completely wrong. Asari Dokubo told reporters in Abuja that; "I do not work for Jonathan. What the President said was wrong. The life of Buhari is not more important than 87 people that died in that blast. It is unfortunate that the President made such a statement. I wonder why the President will be promoting one person above other Nigerians. That statement from the President was very unfortunate. I do not have the capacity to tell the President to apologise, but I still insist that he should not have made such a statement.

Soon after the blast, a cross-gender person came out and was arrested. Even the mother of the person arrested said he was insane. Social media reports said I gave them N5m to carry out the attack. These things are masterminded. The first one is against President Jonathan and the other one is against me. I did not pay anybody to carry out any assassination attempt on Buhari. I do not have anything against him. He is not a threat. He will fail in 2015. For the records, I do not operate a Twitter account and anyone saying I tweeted that there would be more attacks is only using my name."

Lionel Messi Considered Arsenal Switch

Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi reportedly sounded out Arsenal last season regarding a switch to the Emirates Stadium.

In May of this year, the 27-year-old committed his future to his Catalan employers by signing a new contract, which is believed to contain a release clause in the region of £200m.

However, prior to having agreed to those fresh terms, the Argentine international, who had grown frustrated with life at the Camp Nou, asked former Gunners midfielder and his then Barcelona teammate Cesc Fabregas to talk to his agent Darren Dein regarding the logistics of a move to the North Londoners, according to Spanish outlet Vozpopuli.

The report added that at the same time, Fabregas was also discussing terms with Arsenal, but the midfielder eventually signed for London rivals Chelsea.

It is believed that even if Messi had decided to leave Barca, Arsenal would have struggled to raise the necessary transfer funds to secure the deal.

Nyako's Disappearance Sign Of Guilt - Presidency

The presidency has described the decision of former governor of Adamawa State Murtala Nyako to run out of the country following his impeachment by members of the House of Assembly last Tuesday, as a clear indication that accusations levelled against him were correct.

Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to the President, Dr. Doyin Okupe told Vanguard that those who had alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan was responsible for the former governor's predicament will now hide their heads in shame.

"There must be a reason for his running away and this means that those who accused him of mismanagement of funds are correct, the fact speaks for itself and it is now clear that those accusing the president of having a hand in his impeachment are lying."

In his comment, National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Alhaji Lai Mohammed said he could not confirm the whereabouts of the sacked governor. He also declined comments on whether the former governor was on the run.

"I don't know where he is. I don't know whether he is on the run or not," said Mohammed.
