A Niger Delta activist, Asari Dokubo has said he is supporting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 election because the former Lagos State governor is a true progressive.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Dokubo said this when he appeared on Arise TV recently.
“Tinubu has always been with the Progressives and has identified with them visibly,” Dokubo said.
“He has as his legacies strong institutions which no candidate among the contenders can boast of. He was governor almost the same time with Peter Obi.
“He chose his successors -Babatunde Raji Fashola, then Ambode and now Sanwo-Olu.
“The same thing happened in Anambra and Obiano succeded Obi and so on. Now, let us put them on the scale, Anambra and Lagos, let’s give them a dispassionate look and you find out that you cannot compare Bola Ahmed Tinubu alongside the institutions he has put in Lagos with that of Peter Obi in Anambra.
“In fact, a few months after Peter Obi left as governor, there was fiasco and disagreement, Obi had to leave APGA to PDP and even became Vice Presidential candidate of PDP. Again, he was a Presidential aspirant in the PDP before he joined the Labour Party.
“So, if we are to believe anybody, from what we have in the past, it is Ahmed Bola Tinubu. I have always pitched my tent with the Progressives.”
You are not considering his old age, like you want another Buhari to happen to us.
Asari will always support criminal( drug Baron) like himself, so I am not surprise
