Former Niger Delta militant leader Asari Dokubo has publicly described Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, as a scammer who deceives Nigerians with lies. Dokubo stated that every time
speaks, he lies, warning that Obi cannot win the presidential election. He accused Obi of misleading people, particularly the youth, with false promises.
Dokubo’s remarks, made on social media and in public statements, have sparked significant reactions, with supporters of Peter Obi defending the candidate and criticizing Dokubo’s comments. The controversy highlights deep divisions within Nigerian political discourse ahead of elections.
Dokubo’s position is that Obi’s political movement is deceptive and that Nigerians should be cautious about his promises. This view contrasts sharply with the widespread enthusiasm among many Nigerians who see Obi as a credible alternative in the political landscape.
