ABUJA – PROMINENT Niger Delta leader and Amanyanabo of Torusarama Piri in Degema Local Government Area of Rivers State, Asari Dokubo, has pledged unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, vowing to do everything in his power to secure a second term for the President.
Dokubo made the commitment on Tuesday during a courtesy visit by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr. Nyesom Wike, to his palace in Degema.
Praising Wike for the visit, Dokubo emphasised that Tinubu had stood firmly by him during his most challenging periods, making it his duty to reciprocate.
“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,” Dokubo declared.
“Everything that I am capable of doing, I will do to make sure that he succeeds.”
Reflecting on their long-standing relationship, he added: “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 support him.”
Earlier, Wike explained that his visit was to express gratitude to the community for their past support and to rally them behind Tinubu’s 2027 bid.
He also used the occasion to extend New Year greetings and thanked Dokubo for the warm reception.
“I know that traditional rulers don’t play politics,” Wike said. “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.”
