Yoruba Are Betrayers; I Emptied My Account To Campaign For Tinubu, Got Nothing; Now I’m Forming Alliance With North – Asari Dokubo
Asari made the remarks in a series of videos while accusing Tinubu of betrayal after working for his emergence as the Nigerian president in 2023.
Former Niger Delta militants leader and President Bola Tinubu’s supporter, Asari Dokubo, has vowed to form an alliance with the Northern region and dump Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Asari made the remarks in a series of videos while accusing Tinubu of betrayal after working for his emergence as the Nigerian president in 2023.
Dokubo claimed that he spent his money canvassing for votes for Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election, only to be “betrayed.“
Addressing his followers in a viral video, he recalled charging Nigerians to hold him accountable if Tinubu failed as president.
He said, “I apologise to our fathers because they were not wrong in forming an alliance with the North, and as young men, we will now start that same alliance.
“From today, I will work and form an alliance with the North. President Tinubu betrayed me after I spent all my money and emptied my bank account campaigning for him. The Tinubu I know now isn’t the Tinubu I used to know. We will take this message across that only the Northerners can work with the Ijaw people.
“We can’t work with Yoruba people; they are a betrayal to us. We risked our lives by voting and doing everything, and this is what we get?”
Ekwutosblog had on October 10 reported that the Nigerian military command asked Dokubo to come to the battlefield and meet his death if he wanted to know the capabilities of the military.
This was confirmed in a statement issued by Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj Gen Edward Buba, while responding to Dokubo’s claim that he could shoot down a military helicopter hovering around his residence.
The former militants leader had said that he had the power to contain the Nigerian military.
Responding, Gen Edward Buba had dared him to enter the battlefield and see whether he would not be neutralised by the Nigerian military.
Buba had further vowed that the ex-militants leader would be neutralised if he showed up on the battlefield, and he called upon the relevant security agency to address the matter.
The embattled National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, David Mark, on Friday held a closed-door meeting with leaders of the Peoples Redemption Party in Abuja. The private consultation is seen as a fresh round of political moves as the ADC continues to battle a lingering leadership crisis and growing internal divisions.
Top figures from both parties were said to be present at the meeting, including PRP National Chairman Hakeem Baba-Ahmed and senior ADC officials. The development is already drawing attention as opposition parties continue realignments ahead of the 2027 political season, with many watching closely for possible alliances and next steps in the party crisis.

“ADC is a Holy Party, Cannot be used to Scam Nigerians Again” – Hon Success Opara tells David Mark
ADC Party in Turmoil: Hon Success Opara Slams Leadership, Warns Against Scamming Nigerians
Abuja, Nigeria – The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is facing internal strife as Hon Success Opara, a prominent party official, has warned against attempts to use the party to deceive Nigerians. Opara specifically criticized the leadership of David Mark, stating that the party cannot be used to scam citizens again.
“ADC holy Party cannot be used to scam Nigerians again,” Opara said, emphasizing that those forming coalitions are hindering the party’s growth and denying youths opportunities to thrive.
“Those who are forming coalition don’t want to give the youths the chance to strive in the party,” she added.
Opara’s statement highlights the deepening divisions within the ADC, with concerns over leadership and the party’s direction.
The factional National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Nafiu Bala Gombe, has announced that the party under his leadership will bar individuals above the age of 55 from contesting for political positions.
Gombe made the disclosure during an interview with BBC Hausa, where he outlined a vision centred on generational change and greater youth participation in politics.
“The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is a party that belongs to all Nigerians. What we are doing now is to ensure the party moves forward properly.
“We have decided that we will give the youths a real chance. The time has come for young people to take the lead in politics.
“If you are over 55 years old, you are not going to contest for positions in the ADC under our leadership.
“We want to bring in fresh blood, new ideas, and energy from the youth. Nigeria’s future depends on the young generation.
“The old ways have not worked well for the country. We need to open the door wide for youths to participate fully as candidates, leaders, and decision-makers,” he said.
