A former militant warlord, Asari Dokubo, has disclosed that his loyalty to former President Goodluck Jonathan made him cut communications with former Lagos State governor and the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He also said his loyalty to Jonathan made him cut ties with Rauf Aregbesola, the Minister of Interior; President Muhammadu Buhari, and other APC members.
The former Niger Delta militant leader made this known during a Facebook Live on Thursday.
According to him: “I cut off communication with Tinubu because of Goodluck in 2014.
“I was in Mecca for Hajj, with the present Minister for Interior, Rauf Aregbesola. I went to his hotel room to see him, that was in 2013, and he said, ‘why are you following Goodluck’? He said Goodluck would not do you anything good. He said, ‘why don’t you stay where you are celebrated?’
“All of us celebrate you. And I told him I cannot betray my people. I stood by Goodluck and cut off friendships with Rauf Aregbesola, Adams Oshiomhole, Kayode Fayemi, Tinubu himself, and even President Buhari.
