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.
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
