Wike Is Nobody, I Will Catch Him – Asari Dokubo Threatens Minister of FCT

Asari Dokubo, a well-known Niger Delta activist, has made controversial comments directed at Nyesom Wike, the Governor of Rivers State. In his statement, Asari Dokubo referred to Wike as “a nobody,” implying that he is insignificant or unimportant. He further claimed that he would “catch” Wike and “contain him,” suggesting that he could overpower or subdue him as he has done with other individuals in the past. Asari Dokubo indicated that the government was aware of his capabilities.

This statement has sparked tension, particularly considering the longstanding rivalry between Asari Dokubo and political figures in the Niger Delta, including Wike. Asari Dokubo, known for his vocal and often controversial stance on political issues in the region, has previously been involved in various political and security matters, including armed agitation in the past.

The statement can be seen as an escalation of tensions between the two, though the exact context and motivations behind Asari Dokubo’s remarks are unclear. It may also reflect broader political dynamics and struggles within Rivers State and the Niger Delta, where various groups and political figures often vie for influence. The government’s reaction to the statement, and whether it will lead to any action, remains to be seen.
