Former militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has vowed to form an alliance with the North ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Asari made the remark while accusing President Bola Tinubu of betrayal after working for his emergence as Nigerian president in 2023.
The former militant leader recounted how 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.
'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?' This is coming amid reports of an alliance among the opposition political parties in the country. In January, political scientist Pat Utomi announced that he consulted with PDP's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party candidate Peter Obi, and NNPP's Rabiu Kwankwaso on the possibility of forming a new political party.
