Former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has
slammed President Bola Tinubu for not carrying him in his government.
Recall that Asari was one of the ardent supporters of Tinubu
during the presidential election.
At one point, the former militant even organised a
pro-Tinubu protest in Port Harcourt and issued threats to some ethnic groups in
the country who he felt were not in support of Tinubu’s presidency.
Asari Dokubo was later seen at the Presidential Villa, where he was said to have visited President Tinubu after his victory in the presidential election.
However, the Presidency banned ex-militants from visiting
the Presidential Villa after that visit following some alleged derogatory
comments made by Asari while addressing the press after meeting Tinubu.
In a trending video on social media, Dokubo lamented that he
and his followers have been abandoned after giving their support to the cause
of Tinubu’s emergence as president.
He also accused the president of making one-sided
appointments, just like former President Muhammadu Buhari, who, according to
Asari, had core supporters, which Tinubu does not have.
“President Bola Tinubu is traveling on a very dangerous
path. And if he doesn’t change, even we, who are his hardcore supporters, will
not be able to stand with him.
“It’s up to you if you feel comfortable now. They tell you
that you can do whatever you like. You can do worse than what Buhari did.
“Buhari did one-sided appointments, and you feel you can do
your own one-sided appointments. You are not Buhari; know that.
“Buhari had a core followership, you do not have that sort
of core followership. If there are core followers, we are your core followers.
“Those people who are now around, making decisions, making
appointments, they were afraid to stand by you. If they were not afraid, they
wouldn’t have contested for the House of Reps and so on.
“They actually believed you would not win the election. They
were saying that a bird in hand is worth more than thousands in the bush.
“But we staked everything and stood by you. Today you
brought them so that they laugh at us. They were afraid to offend people, but
today they’re the masters.”
