SHOCKING | Asari Dokubo Spits Fire, Fearlessly MENTION Name On Powerful Politician Fueling Fight Between Wike And Fubara
Former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has once again stirred controversy, alleging that President Bola Tinubu is exacerbating the political turmoil in Rivers state. In a widely circulated video shared on social media, Dokubo accused Tinubu of orchestrating the transfer of power in Rivers state to former governor and current Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, Nyesom Wike
Dokubo, known for his outspoken nature, admonished Tinubu, claiming that his actions were detrimental to the interests of the ljaw and Ikwerre people in Rivers state. He lambasted the president for allegedly consolidating power in the hands of one individual, referring to Wike as being akin to a “god in the ongoing political unrest. Dokubo’s remarks come amidst a power struggle between Wike and his protege, Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
The former warlord commended Fubara for reportedly doubling the state’s monthly Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from N12 billion to N27 billion. However, Dokubo insinuated that the governor had initially inherited a meager sum of N6 billion upon assuming office. These assertions by Dokubo shed light on the economic dynamics and power plays within Rivers state’s political landscape.
The video, which has garnered significant attention online, underscores the complex interplay of power, influence, and allegiances in Nigerian politics. It serves as a testament to the enduring relevance of regional power brokers and the challenges they pose to the country’s political stability.
As the political saga in Rivers state continues to unfold, Dokubo’ s outspoken commentary adds another layer of intrigue to an already volatile situation. His accusations against President Tinubu highlight the deep- seated divisions and tensions within Nigeria’ s political elite, further underscoring the need for effective governance and conflict resolution mechanisms at both the state and federal levels.
Dokubo’s allegations against Tinubu are not without precedent. The former Niger Delta militant leader has a history of vocal criticism against political figures whom he perceives as undermining the interests of his people. In 2008, he famously declared a unilateral ceasefire following talks. with the late President Umaru Yar Adua’ s administration, signaling a temporary cessation of hostilities in the Niger Delta region.
However, Dokubo’s subsequent disillusion mentwith the government’s failure to address the region’s socio-economic grievances led to a resurgence in militancy.
Since then, Dokubo has remained a vocal advocate for the Niger Delta’s rights, often using social media platforms to amplify his message. His latest accusations against Tinubu reflect a broader trend of disillusionment and distrust towards Nigeria’s political establishment, particularly among marginalized communities like the Niger Delta.
In response to Dokubo’s allegations, President Tinubu’s camp has remained relatively silent. However,
political analysts speculate that these
accusations could further strain
relations between the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) and its
allies in the Niger Delta region. With
the 2027 presidential elections
looming on the horizon, the APC will
need to navigate carefully to maintain
its political stronghold in key regions
like the Niger Delta.
Meanwhile, Governor Wike s
administration has dismissed Dokubo’
s allegations as baseless and politically motivated. In a press statement, Wike’ s spokesperson reiterated the governor’s commitment to the rule of law and democratic principles, accusing Dokubo of attempting to sow discord for
personal gain.
The unfolding political drama in Rivers
state underscores the broader
challenges facing Nigeria’s nascent
democracy. Despite significant
progress since the return to civilian
rule in 1999, the country continues to
grapple with issues of corruption,
ethno- religious tensions, and political violence. The allegations made by Asari Dokubo serve as a sobering reminder of the fragility of Nigeria’ s democratic institutions and the need for greater transparency and accountability in governance. As Nigerians await further developments in this unfolding political saga, one thing remains clear: the voices of marginalized communities like the Niger Delta cannot be ignored. Whether Asari Dokubo’ s allegations hold merit or
not, they serve as a stark reminder of
the persistent inequalities and
injustices that continue to plague
Nigeria’ s political landscape. Only
through genuine dialogue, inclusive
governance, and respect for the rule of
law can the country hope to overcome.
these challenges and build a more
equitable and prosperous future for all
its citizens.
