President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Meets Ex-Militant Asari Dokubo in Aso Rock [Video]
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu met with ex-militant Asari Dokubo in Aso Rock.
Newsone reports that Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu on Friday, June 16, 2023, met with former Niger Delta agitator, Asari Dokubo, at the State House in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
This online news platform understands that ex-militant Asari Dokubo arrived at the Aso Rock Villa around 11:00 am after which he went into a closed-door session with the President.
Before this meeting, Newsone Nigeria recalls that Dokubo organised Niger Delta youths to attend the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Abuja three weeks ago.
A staunch supporter of Tinubu, he had on Thursday asked Nigerians to hold him accountable if the president’s administration fails.
While speaking on the impact of the fuel subsidy discontinuance, he argued that former presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari failed to do what Tinubu has done in the past weeks of his administration.
He said: “If Ahmed Bola Tinubu fails, hold me responsible. I am unapologetic.
“I have known him since 1992 and I know what he stands for, and can stand in the gap between him and the people and say this.
“This is a step my brother Goodluck failed to take when he had the opportunity. The same step Buhari could not take and Tinubu took it from his first day at the office.”
