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.
It was reported and revealed by the National Coordinator of the Obi Movement that an attack occurred at the movement against Peter Obi in Edo State.
He stated that the armed people had guns and shot at Peter Obi and his members of the movement.
“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in what appears to be a survived assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
