APC insists Asari is a Part of the $9.3m arms deal, to which He denies.

While the All Progressive Congress (APC) is claiming Asari Dokubu was on the plane which smuggled $9.3m arms deal to South Africa last month, Dokubu he is saying the last time he was in that country was in 2002, that's a good 12 years ago according to him. I don't know who to believe but below is what the APC and Asari Dokubu are claiming read for yourself and make your own opinion.

The APC had asked Pres. Jonathan to explain to Nigerians what Asari Dokubo was doing on the plane where the money was found and confiscated by the South African authorities, Punch reports.
However, Asari Dokubu who is currently in Saudi Arabia for Hajj told journalists in a telephone chat that the last time he visited South Africa was in 2002.

"Can you enter any country without a visa? No person can enter any country without a visa. Presently, I am in Saudi Arabia performing my Hajj as the Amirul Hajj of Bayelsa State and this can be confirmed. I flew Flynass from Kaduna on September 27. So, it is really a shame that Lai Mohammed who has defiled the name of Allah has become a pathological and award-winning liar.
"Nobody enters any country without a visa and I have not been to South Africa since 2002. I flew Arik airline from Lagos on the September 27 and went to Kaduna where I flew Flynass airline and came to Saudi Arabia," he said.

The APC had in a statement through its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed on Wednesday said,
 "Under our constitution, the NSA is an adviser and has no executive powers to deploy troops from any of the services or purchase arms for them. That the arms purported to be purchased from South Africa were ordered from the office of the NSA is nothing but a mere fabrication, and raises serious questions about the motive for the purchase.
"Nigerians will therefore like to know on whose behalf Asari Dokubo was purchasing arms. This is very crucial because Asari Dokubo has been threatening that Nigeria will not know peace if his benefactor, President Jonathan, is not re-elected. Therefore, Nigerians will like to know whether he has started stockpiling arms to make his threat a reality, since elections are due in a few months’ time.
"If these arms are meant to fight insurgency, as the government has claimed, what is Asari Dokubo’s business purchasing arms for the Nigerian military, if indeed they were for the military? Does it not occur to the Nigerian government that this man who once took arms against the state may not have jettisoned his sinister plan against the same state?"
