How ‘I emptied my account to support Tinubu’ – Asari Dokubi laments betrayal (video)

Former militant leader Asari Dokubo has expressed frustration with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, claiming betrayal after supporting Tinubu’s campaign with substantial personal resources.

Dokubo, who had previously urged Nigerians to hold him accountable if Tinubu’s administration failed, now says he is disappointed with the President’s actions in office.

“The Tinubu I know now isn’t the Tinubu I used to know,” Dokubo said, referencing a shift in their relationship and suggesting that his expectations of the administration’s support have not been met.

He went on to mention plans to form alliances with Northern leaders, signaling a potential pivot in his political alliances.

“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”
