2027: I’ll form alliance with North, Tinubu betrayed me – Asari Dokubo [VIDEO]

Former militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has vowed to form an alliance with the North ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Asari made the remark while accusing President Bola Tinubu of betrayal after working for his emergence as Nigerian president in 2023.

The former militant leader recounted how he spent his money canvassing for votes for Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election, only to be betrayed.

Addressing his followers in a viral video, he recalled charging Nigerians to hold him accountable if Tinubu failed as president.

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 is coming amid reports of an alliance among the opposition political parties in the country.

In January, political scientist Pat Utomi announced that he consulted with PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party (LP) candidate Peter Obi, and 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.

“Yariba people are betrayals. Nobody should work with them”.

Dangote: APC group tasks Kyari to focus on reviving local refineries in Nigeria

A youth group within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) and major oil marketers for the decision to lift and distribute fuel from the Dangote Refinery to end users nationwide.

The group, known as APC Vanguard for Optimum Transparency and Accountability (APC-VOTA), also urged the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the NNPCL, Malam Mele Kyari, to fulfill his promises by ensuring the operationalization of the Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna refineries.

In a statement released on Wednesday, signed by the President, Engr. Shola Olatunji, and the Secretary, Amb. Waheed Isiaka, the group expressed optimism that patronizing locally refined petroleum products would stabilize the nation’s economy, strengthen the naira against foreign currencies, and discourage the importation of refined products.

“Aside from making the products available across the country, thereby preventing the usual artificial scarcity during the yuletide, lifting fuel from the Dangote refinery will also strengthen our currency against foreign currencies and help our economy recover,” the statement read.

“It will also protect Nigerians from buying adulterated and high-sulphur-density petroleum products currently being imported into the country by some unscrupulous oil marketers, under the watch of so-called regulators who prioritize their own interests over the welfare of the people.”

The group further noted that this decision would save the Nigerian government a staggering N24 trillion annually, as the country currently spends N2 trillion every month on importing petroleum products.

“This is a noble decision, and all of us at APC-VOTA wholeheartedly welcome this step, as it will improve the lives of Nigerians and alleviate the hardships many are currently facing,” the statement added.

However, the group expressed concerns over the continued dysfunction of the country’s local refineries and called on Kyari to act decisively.

They criticized Kyari’s inability to fix the ailing refineries despite the substantial funds allocated for their rehabilitation.

“It’s clear to all Nigerians that Kyari lacks the capacity to make the Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna refineries functional again,” the group stated.

“Despite trillions of naira being pumped into their rehabilitation, nothing has changed, and Kyari has run out of excuses.”
