A former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has declared his support for the governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.
Dokubo claimed that soldiers sent by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, were flying over his house.
This comes on the day when the local government chairmanship polls were conducted in Rivers State.
Dokubo ranted: “Wike’s soldiers and police have been flying over my house with two helicopters. I have the capacity to contain them.
“Nigeria cannot surrender to Wike. Rivers people will not surrender to Wike. I have the capacity to contain them and the government knows that. Let them tell Wike to back off.
“I am 60 years old. I have never been afraid of death. I always embraced death. I didn’t go and look for their helicopter to shoot it down. I will shoot down their helicopter. I swear by Allah.
“Whoever is commanding them should be warned. Enough is enough that Tinubu should hand over. Wike is nobody without the paraphernalia of the office. Let them remove this thing from him and let us see.
