FLASHBACK: Rivers not Christian state – Asari Dokubo to Gov Fubara

Former Niger Delta militant, Asari Dokubo says Rivers State is not a Christian state.

Dokubo made this known in reaction to a remark by Governor Fubara that the state is a Christian state.

Speaking in a Facebook Live, the controversial warlord noted that started his term on the wrong footing. He stressed that such a comment goes against the principles of inclusivity and religious freedom.

Dokubo maintained that the Governor lacked the authority to unilaterally declare the state a Christian one.

According to Dokubo: “I am using this medium to advise the governor, Sim Fubara, to better retract the statement.

“I want him to know that Rivers state is not and will never be a Christian state. With such a statement, I can say that the Governor is starting on a wrong footing.”
