Tinubu supporting Wike to destabilise Rivers – Asari Dokubo

Tinubu supporting Wike to destabilise Rivers – Asari Dokubo

Former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu is supporting former Rivers state governor and minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, to destabilise the state.

Recall that Wike and Fubara have been at loggerheads since the latter assumed office as governor in 2023, just as Fubara had said that his rift with Wike is tied to a tussle over power and control in Rivers State.

Speaking during an appearance on Arise TV on Tuesday, Dokubo expressed his disappointment at the ongoing crisis in the state, adding that ‘something will happen’ if the governor is impeached.

His words: “What I’m trying to say is that with Bola Tinubu becoming president, I should be able to tell him the truth. What is happening in Rivers State where Bola Tinubu is supporting Nyesom Wike to destabilise Rivers State and disturb the peace of Rivers State, and as a stakeholder in Rivers State, I feel totally disappointed for the president to allow his minister serving under him to run amok and porcure judgement and all sort, threatening the people of Rivers State.

“What they are trying to do is that we’re going to remove Fubara, and nothing will happen. What I’m saying is that if you try to remove Fubara, something will happen. That is what I’m talking about. I’m not talking of any personal benefit; I can’t be appointed minister or to any board; I didn’t lobby for anything.”

When asked, Dokubo stated that he still stands by his words that he should be held responsible if President Tinubu fails to deliver.

“I still stand by that statement. That is why I’m crying out, because I’m vigorously liable for any expectation of the Nigerian people, not just Niger Delta people. This is because I stood in front of everybody, and I’m not going to deny what I said.

“Even if it’s tomorrow and Ahmed Bola Tinubu encounters any difficulty, I’ll still stick out my neck and stand. At the stand he stood for me, I would have been dead and not be in this programme talking. Obasanjo would have killed me if not for people like Tinubu who stood by me. So, I’m not going to be in a hurry to forget that.”
