A former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has said
his loyalty to former President Goodluck Jonathan made him cut communications
with the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Dokubo said he also cut ties with Rauf Aregbesola, the
Minister of Interior; President Muhammadu Buhari, and other APC members due to
his loyalty to Jonathan.
The former militant warlord disclosed this during a Facebook
Live on Thursday.
According to Dokubo: “I cut off communication with Tinubu
because of Goodluck in 2014.
“I was in Mecca for Hajj, with the present Minister for
Interior, Rauf Aregbesola. I went to his hotel room to see him, that was in
2013, and he said, ‘why are you following Goodluck’? He said Goodluck would not
do you anything good. He said, ‘why don’t you stay where you are celebrated?’
“All of us celebrate you. And I told him I cannot betray my
people. I stood by Goodluck and cut off friendships with Rauf Aregbesola, Adams
Oshiomhole, Kayode Fayemi, Tinubu himself, and even President Buhari.
“Tinubu wanted me to be in politics; I did not. I sacrificed
those relationships for my people, and I’m not regretting it.”
