I Can't Abandon Tinubu - Asari Dokubo Makes U-Turn by NewDigitalWorld(op): 8:42pm On Mar 25, 2025

Former Niger Delta freedom fighter, Asari Dokubo, has restated his allegiance to President Bola Tinubu as he gave reason, he cannot abandon him.

Dokubo who had been vocal in his agitation against the Tinubu-led administration held an unusual silence since the President’s declaration of state of emergency in Rivers.

He would, however, make a sudden U-turn on Tuesday as he admitted cannot part ways with the President who he described as his friend,

Speaking in a now viral video on social media, Dokubo recounted how Tinubu stood by him during his darkest days.

Dokubo maintained he renewed his support for the President, stressing that he can never forget what he did to him no matter what happens.

“When you have a friend, it will be difficult for you to part with your friend because you have to look back at yesterday.

“The memories of yesterday will keep on playing up in your head. I am fixed on a spot because in my darkest of time, Ahmed Bola Tinubu stood with me.

“He stood by me. I can’t forget it so easily no matter what happens.” He said.

In an interview last year October, the Ijaw activist recounted how Tinubu protected him from the fury of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

He held that his relationship with Tinubu dated back to Nigeria’s military era and was built on loyalty and trust.

“My relationship with Tinubu is that when I was buried alive by his fellow kinsman, Obasanjo, Tinubu- against all odds-came and stood by me, took care of my family, took care of me, send money to me.

“When I came, sent me on a medical trip, bought me my first car when I came out of prison. I can’t leave such a person.” Dokubo had said in the interview.

The man is frustrated and suffering from depression. He's obviously playing mind game with Tinubu, the Master of politics. You can't negotiate for Fubara with this childish game

He is now afraid of death as soldiers are now monitoring him. Asari is everything but a friend. He is complete nuisance.
