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.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
