Following his online tirade on his being sidelined by president Bola Ahmed Tinubu despite his sacrifices and immense contribution to the president’s victory at the 2023 presidential election, Asari Dokubo has been advised by foremost human right activist and convener of bring-back-our-girls, Aisha Yesufu to be wary of Tinubu.
Asari Dokubo who publicly campaigned for president Bola Ahmed Tinubu and also defended his administration controversial economic policies, in a recent viral video, declared that he ceases to support president Bola Ahmed Tinubu while also labeling the president and the entire Yoruba ethnicity as betrayals. He appealed for the forgiveness of his ancestors over his working for president Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This came a few weeks after the former Niger Delta militant leader has threatened president Tinubu and former governor Nyesom Wike over the ongoing political feud between Wike and Sim Fubara, the governor of Rivers state.
However, Aisha Yesufu in her reaction to Asari Dokubo’s tirade, noted that Asari Dokubo may have claimed to have known president Tinubu for several years but it is proven by his recent experience that he did not actually know president Tinubu whom he called his friend.
Aisha Yesufu claims that president Tinubu would not work with Asari Dokubo who is an already established influential figure as his personal principle. She said, Tinubu prefers to work with unknown people who rose through him and whom he had enslaved to his ambition and dictates as they would never attempt to rebel against him.
She explained further that Tinubu would only work with Asari Dokubo if he would destroy Asari Dokubo’s influence and might necessary to ensure his absolute loyalty and vulnerability to his manipulation and control.
She thereafter warned Asari Dokubo and other associates of president Tinubu who had risen to high social status through former president Olusegun Obasanjo to be wary of president Tinubu as he would come after them in due time.
In her words: “People like Asari Dokubo say they have known Tinubu for decades yet don’t know him.
2023 they thought they had a place with him at the table when in actual fact they were part of the menu.
“Tinubu wants only those he has empowered around him. People whom without him they would never have amounted to anything. Also, people that will only stay within the level he has put them. They must not dare to have any ambition besides what Tinubu has given them.
“He will destroy whatever power you had before him and look for those that will replace you and kiss his ring and be totally and absolutely enslaved to him.
“An enemy Tinubu can draw close and empower is more useful to Tinubu than an ally who had any semblance of power that it wasn’t due to Tinubu.
“You see all these billionaires that were made without Tinubu’s help especially those that owe what they have to Obasanjo, I pity them especially the ones that think he is their friend. My advice to them is watch your backs like hawks. But then, what do I know”.
