Asari Dokubo, the ex-militant who founded the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, claimed that Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, is misleading Nigerians with lies.
Dokubo added that the OBI-dient movement of the former governor of Anambra State cannot succeed “because it is going nowhere” in a statement posted on his Dokubo Asari Justice Foundation page on Facebook on Tuesday.
Dokubo claimed that Obi cannot contend at the polls against his counterparts from the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP — Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, respectively.
He also downplayed hisObi’s achievements as a governor, saying the money he saved was child’s play to what Governor Nyesom Wike (of Rivers State) spends.
Dokubo said: “There is a scammer in town. Peter Obi is a scamming people with lies and people are believing him.
This is nauseating. Peter Obi was a governor of Anambra state for eight years.
Anambra State is one of the advantageous states in Nigeria because of the people. They have Onitsha, Awka, Nnewi. These are the biggest goldmines in Nigeria after Lagos, Port Harcourt and Aba.
They said he saved seventy-something billion. What is seventy-something billion? The money that Wike toys with in Rivers.
How would you compare Obi with Tinubu or Atiku? What is his antecedent? Lies. You are showing documents. Who showed that you rejected the lands? All these small small [sic] scams, who dem wan do naw [sic]?”
