Former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, on Tuesday
disclosed that President Bola Tinubu saved him from the fury of ex-President
Olusegun Obasanjo.
Dokubo said Tinubu’s intervention saved him when Obasanjo
buried him alive.
He spoke while appearing on Arise TV’s Morning Show, where
he recounted his relationship with Tinubu, which dates back to the military
era.
According to Dokubo: “I supported Mr. President because I
knew him before he became senator, president, and, God willing, I will also
know him when he ceases to be president. But this is not about me or Tinubu;
it’s about my people.
“When I’m speaking about my people, take me out of the way;
I’m an individual. My relationship with Tinubu was very robust, and at all
times, the benefit I derived from that relationship was one-way traffic, which
was from Tinubu alone.
“His coming out for the presidency was the only time I was
able to pay him back, and I did. If he comes out tomorrow, I will still do it
because, at the time, Obasanjo buried me alive, but he stood by me. I won’t
forget in a hurry.”
