Yoruba Are Betrayers; I Emptied My Account To Campaign For Tinubu, Got Nothing; Now I'm Forming Alliance With North – Asari Dokubo

Asari made the remarks in a series of videos, accusing Tinubu of betrayal after he worked for his emergence as the Nigerian president in 2023. Former Niger Delta militants leader and President Bola Tinubu's supporter, Asari Dokubo, has vowed to form an alliance with the Northern region and dump Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections. Asari made the remarks in a series of videos, accusing Tinubu of betrayal after he worked for his emergence as the Nigerian president in 2023. Dokubo claimed he spent his money canvassing for votes for Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election, only to be "betrayed."Addressing his followers in a viral video, he recalled charging Nigerians to hold him accountable if Tinubu failed as president.

He 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?”

SaharaReporters had on October 10 reported that the Nigerian military command asked Dokubo to come to the battlefield and meet his death if he wanted to know the capabilities of the military. This was confirmed in a statement issued by Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj Gen Edward Buba while responding to Dokubo’s claim that he could shoot down a military helicopter hovering around his residence. The former militant leader had said that he had the power to contain the Nigerian military.

Responding, Gen Edward Buba had dared him to enter the battlefield and see whether he would not be neutralised by the Nigerian military. Buba had further vowed that the ex-militant leader would be neutralised if he showed up on the battlefield, and he called upon the relevant security agency to address the matter.
