The Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has made a bold announcement, stating that he and his gang of militants are working in support of President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Dokubo warned that anyone who misbehaves or seeks to bring down Tinubu will face severe consequences.

This declaration came while addressing militants during a parade, with a video capturing the event.
This parade, involving up to 300 militants, took place after Dokubo’s return from a pilgrimage to Mecca.
Asari Dokubo assured his followers that any plans against Tinubu will fail, stating, “I am not a ghost. I just returned from Saudi Arabia. We work for President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, and he will succeed. Anyone planning for him to fail has already failed.”
“We are not competing with anybody. We have never competed with anybody. It is turn by turn. It is Jagaban turn, so, wait for your turn. If you do anyhow, you see anyhow.”
In June, about two weeks after Tinubu was sworn in as President, Dokubo visited him at the Presidential Villa, saying Tinubu had been a father figure for him for 30 years.
Briefing State House Correspondents after his meeting with Tinubu, Dokubo disclosed that he had volunteered to end the menace knowing that he would be fully protected by Tinubu’s administration.
Dokubo said, “The Army and the Navy intimidate the Civil Defense who are by status the people who are supposed to guard these pipelines.”
“So the main culprits are the Army and the Navy. And there are notorious naval commanders who are known to be kingpins of these bunkering activities. Even if they give 1 billion contracts to everybody in the Niger Delta, because these military men are armed from the Army and the Navy, nothing will happen,” he said.
