  • The feisty and truculent freedom fighter also declared his support flgovernor Siminalayi Fubara.

A former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has weighed in on the political crisis and upheaval ravaging Rivers State.

This is even as he said Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, is responsible for the troubling and worrisome situation of affairs in the oil-rich state.

The feisty and truculent freedom fighter also declared his support flgovernor Siminalayi Fubara.

Dokubo alleged that soldiers Wike sent by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, were flying over his house, adding that he has what it takes to bring down the helicopter

This comes on the day when the local government chairmanship polls were conducted in Rivers State.

Dokubo ranted: “Wike’s soldiers and police have been flying over my house with two helicopters. I have the capacity to contain them.”

He stated that Nigeria can’t surrender to Wike as he is nothing without the trappings and power that comes with occupying public offices.

“Nigeria cannot surrender to Wike. Rivers people will not surrender to Wike. I have the capacity to contain them and the government knows that. Let them tell Wike to back off.

“I am 60 years old. I have never been afraid of death. I always embraced death. I didn’t go and look for their helicopter to shoot it down. I will shoot down their helicopter. I swear by Allah.

“Whoever is commanding them should be warned. Enough is enough that Tinubu should hand over. Wike is nobody without the paraphernalia of the office. Let them remove this thing from him and let us see.

“I will vote and you will see me vote. Results will be announced and chairmen will be sworn in and we will see.”
