Former Niger Delta militant leader Mujahid Asari Dokubo has publicly expressed feelings of betrayal by President Bola Tinubu, citing unacknowledged support during his presidential campaign. Dokubo, once a vocal advocate for Tinubu’s election, claims he received nothing in return for his risks and financial contributions. This perceived neglect has led Dokubo to reconsider his alliances, seeking a new partnership with northern leaders.
Historically, collaborations between the North and the Ijaw people have yielded positive results, according to Dokubo. He emphasized the importance of these alliances, hinting that Northerners are more trustworthy collaborators for his community than Southerners. Dokubo’s disappointment with the Yoruba people was palpable in his statement.
The exact reason for Dokubo’s fallout with Tinubu remains unclear, but reports suggest tensions escalated following a recent, uncomfortable visit to the Presidential Villa. Asari Dokubo, a prominent figure in the Niger Delta region, has a history of activism and leadership within the Ijaw community. His shift in allegiance may have significant implications for regional politics and relationships.
