Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, former Niger Delta militant leader, has clarified that while he maintains a long-standing relationship with President Bola Tinubu, he is not seeking a federal appointment.

Asari-Dokubo made these remarks during a visit by Tein Jack-Rich, a former presidential aspirant, as per a statement released on Saturday.
He said, “I am not a regular politician; I am just a friend of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I am not looking for an appointment, but those seeking an appointment made sacrifices and are looking up to me to ensure that their sacrifices are not in vain.”

Asari-Dokubo, reflecting on his friendship with Tinubu since the early 90s, expressed unwavering confidence in the President’s capabilities, leadership qualities, and dedication to principles of equity and justice.
“I will not do anything that will cause the President pain, and so those around me can be rest assured that I am indeed a great supporter of the President,’’ he said.
On the Rivers crisis, he urged Wike and Fubara to desist from the “path of bearing grudges against each other’’.
“We must always move forward and work for the good of Rivers,” Asari-Dokubo said.
In his earlier remarks, Jack-Rich commended Tinubu for his timely involvement in addressing the political crisis in Rivers.
“When it comes to the issue of Rivers, we are stakeholders and our interest is for the peace, economic survival, political and economic inclusion of Rivers.
“Sometimes friends fight, parents and children might have disagreements, and they express such in their own ways; I am appealing to the FCT Minister and our governor to work out their differences.
“Crisis will drive away investors, and if there are no private investments, capital investments, there cannot be economic growth and our youths won’t be employed,” Jack-Rich said.
