Ahead of March 18 governorship election in the country, a former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo has stated reasons he’s supporting the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) gubernatorial candidate, Tonye Cole in Rivers State.
Dokubo said he is supporting Cole because he knows what the APC gubernatorial candidate can do.
The Rivers born militant leader made this known while featuring on a political programme on Ariste TV.
“In 2019, when Tonye Cole came up to contest an election, I think my house was one of the first spots of call he came to. I have never met him and when he came, I told him in 2013 I was in Brazil, and I saw a Mall that you designed alongside other architects, and he just smiled and said my brother, this is what I will replicate in Rivers state.
“A lot of our people, political campaigns, I am going to bring water, I am going to do that… we don’t want a government salt, we want to change, and that is why I am campaigning for Tonye Cole.”
He added, “I was president of Ijaw youth. Whether I say I’m a Kalabari man or not, people will say Tonye is a Kalabari man. He is a Kalabari man that speaks Yoruba and Igbo. He cannot speak Kalabari. I know what he can do, and that is why I am supporting him.”
