A former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has declared the people of Rivers State will not surrender to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.
Naija News reports that Dokubo made the declaration on Saturday during the local government chairmanship polls conducted in Rivers State.
Dokubo also reiterated his support for the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and warned Wike to avoid political issues in the state.
He stated that Wike is nobody without the paraphernalia of the office, adding that Nigeria cannot surrender to him.
He said: “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.
“I will vote and you will see me vote. Results will be announced and chairmen will be sworn in and we will see.”
