Disclosing his plans to join PDP to be able to fight for Jonathan’s candidacy from the inside, he said: “I
will declare for the PDP. We will fight, because in this battle, there
is no retreat, no surrender. We will not take any prisoner of war. It
will be total battle.
“2015 is already a settled matter; Goodluck Jonathan will be president in 2015. Whether they contest or they don’t contest, Goodluck Jonathan will be president.”

In response to comments made by former Head of State, General
Muhammadu Buhari, Asari said: “If they say the blood of the dogs and the
baboon will be soaked in water on the street, in blood on the street,
in salt water on the street, we will help them soak them in blood.”
The activist further stated that the recent developments in PDP
are far from being a crisis, and described the two former Presidents,
Ibrahim Babangida and Olusegun Obasanjo, who are working towards an
amicable resolution of the crisis, as “agents provocateur”, who are
fueling the crisis by declaring that they do not want Jonathan to run in
the 2015 elections.
He also accused them of secretly encouraging the Jigawa state governor, Sule Lamido to run for President, with Rivers state governor, Chubuike Amaechi as his deputy, recalling that at a recent public function, Babangida had said that Amaechi and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, were good to run for higher offices in 2015.

He added that Amaechi is “a traitor to the collective
aspirations of the people of Rivers State,” and whatever situation the
governor is facing he deserved it.
