Ex – Niger Niger Delta Agitator,Asari Dokubo has given reasons why he is supporting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 election.
According to him, Tinubu is a true progressive whose legacies as governor of Lagos and still counting, surpass others also vying for the office of president.
Speaking during a recent interview on Arise TV, Dokubo did a comparative analysis between Tinubu and Obi during their days as governors in their separate states saying,
“Tinubu has always been with the Progressives and has identified with them visibly..
“He has as his legacies strong institutions which no candidate among the contenders can boast of. He was governor almost the same time with Peter Obi.
“He chose his successors -Babatunde Raji Fashola, then Ambode and now Sanwo-Olu.
“The same thing happened in Anambra and Obiano succeded Obi and so on. Now, let us put them on the scale, Anambra and Lagos, let’s give them a dispassionate look and you find out that you cannot compare Bola Ahmed Tinubu alongside the institutions he has put in Lagos with that of Peter Obi in Anambra.
“In fact, a few months after Peter Obi left as governor, there was fiasco and disagreement, Obi had to leave APGA to PDP and even became Vice Presidential candidate of PDP. Again, he was a Presidential aspirant in the PDP before he joined the Labour Party.
“So, if we are to believe anybody, from what we have in the past, it is Ahmed Bola Tinubu. I have always pitched my tent with the Progressives.”He said.
