VIDEO: Asari Dokubo Addresses Militias, Pledges Support For President Tinubu

Former Niger Delta militant, Asari Dokubo has pledged his support for President Bola Tinubu and vowed to eliminate the president’s adversaries.

Dokubo pledged his support for Tinubu in a video that went viral on social media on Monday while displaying a militia group of about 300 young men that he claimed was loyal to the president.

In the viral video, the ex-militant leader was addressing the militia group shortly after his return from the hajj pilgrimage in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

He told the militias in the video, “Whatever the enemies are planning, they will fail. I am not a ghost. I just come from Saudi Arabia (I just returned from Saudi Arabia). We are here. We work for President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and he will succeed. Anybody who is planning for him to fail, that person already failed.

“We are not competing with anybody. We have never competed with anybody. It is turned by turn. It is Jagaban’s turn, so, wait for your turn.”

Recall that Asari Dokubo in June, about two weeks after Tinubu was sworn in as President, visited him at the Presidential Villa, saying Tinubu had been a father figure for him for 30 years.

During the visit, he alleged that 99 percent of oil theft in the Niger Delta was done by the Nigerian military, especially the Army and the Navy.

Briefing State House Correspondents after he met with Tinubu, Dokubo disclosed that he had volunteered to end the menace knowing that he would be fully protected by Tinubu’s administration.

Dokubo said, “The Army and the Navy intimidate the Civil Defense who are by status the people who are supposed to guard these pipelines.

“So the main culprits are the Army and the Navy. And there are notorious naval commanders who are known to be kingpins of these bunkering activities. Even if they give 1 billion contracts to everybody in the Niger Delta because these military men are armed from the Army and the Navy, nothing will happen,” he said.

In other news, Kanyi Daily reported that a Nigerian writer and filmmaker, Onyeka Nwelue has recounted a painful experience he had after he helped a commercial sex worker who was running from military operatives.

Nwelue recounted in a short tweet on his official handle on Monday.
