JUST IN: Unbelievable, Asari Dokubo Reveals Candidate He Will Support For 2027 Presidency
The Amanyanabo of Torusarama Piri, in Degema Local Government Area of Rivers State, Asari Dokubo, has promised to work for the reelection bid of President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
Naijaonpoint Nigeria reports that Dokubo made the pledge on Tuesday during a visit to his palace by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike.
He stated that President Tinubu supported him when he needed people by his side and supporting him to win a second term would be payback.
“Like you said, my friend, everything that is going to happen, I will be with you in making sure that my friend, the President succeeds.
“Everything that I am capable of doing, I will do to make sure that he succeeds.
“I was not a traditional ruler when we met in 1992. I never thought I would ever become what I am today.
“He stood by me in my most difficult period, and it is now my turn to also stand by him and also support him,” he said.
Earlier, Wike explained that his visit to the community was to thank the people for their support and to let them know why they should support Tinubu in 2027.
He also thanked Dokubo for the warm reception.
“I know that traditional rulers don’t play politics.
“You are my friend and I felt that there’s no way I would come here, where you reside, and your kingdom without coming to greet you and to say happy new year,” the Minister said.
