Asari Dokubo, a former militant leader, has promised to join forces with the North before the 2027 presidential election.
Asari said this while claiming that President Bola Tinubu had betrayed him after helping him become president of Nigeria in 2023.
The former militant leader described how he was defrauded of his money after using it to canvass for Tinubu in the 2023 presidential race.
In a widely shared video, he recalled telling his supporters that if Tinubu failed as president, Nigerians would hold him responsible.
He said: “I apologise to our fathers because they were not wrong in forming an alliance with the North, and as young men, we will now start that same alliance.
“From today, I will work and form an alliance with the North. President Tinubu betrayed me after I spent all my money and emptied my bank account campaigning for him. The Tinubu I know now isn’t the Tinubu I used to know. We will take this message across that only the Northerners can work with the Ijaw people.
“We can’t work with Yoruba people; they are a betrayal to us. We risked our lives by voting and doing everything, and this is what we get?”
This occurs in the midst of rumours that the nation’s opposition political groups have formed an alliance.
Political scientist Pat Utomi declared in January that he conferred with Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP, Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), and the NNPP’s Rabiu Kwankwaso on the possibility of forming a new political party.
Recently, Utomi affirmed that Atiku, Kwankwaso, and Obi have agreed to form a political party that would oust President Bola Tinubu from power in 2027.
