'Don’t divide Nigeria' - Asari Dokubo’s boys threaten trouble if presidential tribunal sacks Tinubu

Ex-Niger Delta militant has threatened to cause chaos should President Bola Tinubu be sacked by the presidential election petition tribunal on Wednesday, September 6.

This comes as youth dressed in black and red attire branded with the name of the militant arrived in court holding placards, singing, and dancing.

Dokubo is an ally of President Tinubu.

In an interview with The Gazette, one of the protesters, Ogele Commander, said the tribunal should use “their wisdom” to ensure Mr Tinubu is not sacked.

“That’s why we tell the tribunal to use their wisdom. Don’t divide Nigeria. Others should wait for their tenure,” Mr Commander said.

When asked what the group would do should the tribunal ruling go against the incumbent president, Mr Commander said, “That’s their longer throat. They want to divide Nigeria. We want them to use their office to create peace. If they say they will cause problems, we will give them problem.”

He added, “If they don’t want peace for Tinubu to rule, we’ll give them what they want,” he added, gesticulating with a walkie-talkie in his right hand.
