Asari Dokubo Pledges Alliance with North And Criticize Tinubu for Betrayal
Former militant leader Asari Dokubo has declared his intention to join forces with the North ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election, expressing frustration over what he describes as betrayal by President Bola Tinubu.
Dokubo, who actively supported Tinubu’s 2023 campaign, recently voiced his disappointment, revealing in a viral video that he feels deeply let down after investing his own money and resources to secure Tinubu’s victory.
In his address, Dokubo reminded his followers of his past commitment to Tinubu, where he had pledged that Nigerians could hold him accountable if Tinubu failed as president.
Now, however, Dokubo says he feels betrayed and that Tinubu today is not the leader he thought he knew.
Reflecting on Nigeria’s history, he also apologized to older leaders for once questioning their decision to work with the North, saying that he now sees the value of such alliances.
He expressed that from this point forward, his efforts would focus on rebuilding an alliance with Northern leaders, emphasizing that only Northerners, in his view, can truly work alongside the Ijaw people.
He criticized the Yoruba people as unreliable allies, stating that he and his supporters had put their safety on the line during the election, expecting loyalty in return.
This experience, he said, has led him to shift his alliances and focus on a new direction.
Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, speaks on Peter Obi and shares that he made wonderful achievements as a governor and roots for him for the presidency.
“The intention of the Anambra State government is not to indict Peter Obi. Peter Obi did well as governor.
“There is no rift between Governor Soludo and Peter Obi. They are both in politics, and they have their interests to defend.”
Peter Obi makes headlines as he received huge recognition and a welcome in Delta State.
A crowd came out to support the politician and show their support for him ahead of the election next year.
They moved with the message, “Peter Obi will reset Nigeria, Peter Obi for president.” Many shared their beliefs that Peter Obi can truly help Nigeria. This has gained some attention, and people shared their thoughts.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, speaks on the election and a popular notion that is happening. He shared how some politicians depend on the courts to win their elections instead of the voters (the people).
“A judge once presented a paper called ‘The Judicialisation of the Electoral Process.’ He argued that because of the difficulty of proving non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the courts have gradually and increasingly usurped the role of the voters. I couldn’t agree more.”
“They believe that between polling units and collation centres—especially at night—miracles happen before daybreak. So why vote?” he asked.
