I Emptied My Bank Account To Help Tinubu Become President – Asari Dokubo

Former Niger Delta militant leader Asari Dokubo has disclosed that he invested over $2 million of his personal funds to support President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election campaign. In an interview on Arise TV, Dokubo explained that he emptied his bank account to back Tinubu, motivated by his belief that the president’s leadership would bring about positive changes in the Niger Delta region.

Dokubo’s significant financial commitment demonstrates his dedication to seeing a transformative impact in the area. He expressed confidence that President Tinubu would address the long-standing issues faced by the Niger Delta, aiming to foster development and growth.

Through this investment, Dokubo hopes to contribute to a brighter future for his community under Tinubu’s administration.

 

He said:

“If Tinubu encounters any difficulty, I will still stick out my neck and stand for him because, at a time, he stood for me.

“In all my podcasts, I personally said my needs are very small, so what I’m trying to say is very clear: with Tinubu becoming president, I should be able to tell him the truth.

“I can’t be appointed as a minister or into any board; I did not lobby for anything, so it’s not personal. Yes, I emptied my bank account and spent over two million US dollars; I can’t count what I spent in Naira. I didn’t take a dime from anybody except Ijakry, who gave me N300 million.”
