A Former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has accused President Bola Tinubu of betrayal after 2023 Presidential election.
Asari made the accusation in a video which has currently gone viral on social media, stating that Tinubu had betrayed him after working for his emergence as the Nigerian president.
According to Dokubo he spent his money to get people to vote for Tinubu during the election.
He vowed to form an alliance with the Northern region and dump Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Dokubo said, “I apologise to our fathers because they were not wrong in forming an alliance with the North, and as young men, we will now start that same alliance.
“From today, I will work and form an alliance with the North. President Tinubu betrayed me after I spent all my money and emptied my bank account campaigning for him. The Tinubu I know now isn’t the Tinubu I used to know. We will take this message across that only the Northerners can work with the Ijaw people.
“We can’t work with Yoruba people; they are a betrayal to us. We risked our lives by voting and doing everything, and this is what we get?”
Dokubo had in 2023 during the campaign stated that he has a long-standing relationship with Tinubu and he is not after a federal appointment.
He said, “I am not a regular politician; I am just a friend of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I am not looking for an appointment, but those seeking an appointment made sacrifices and are looking up to me to ensure that their sacrifices are not in vain.”
