Former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has revealed that President Bola Tinubu saved him from former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s attempt to “bury him alive.”

Dokubo made this disclosure on Arise TV’s Morning Show, on Tuesday.

The chieftain recounted his long-standing relationship with Tinubu, which he said dates back to the military era.

According to Dokubo: “I supported Mr. President because I knew him before he became senator, president, and, God willing, I will also know him when he ceases to be president. But this is not about me or Tinubu; it’s about my people.

“When I’m speaking about my people, take me out of the way; I’m an individual. My relationship with Tinubu was very robust, and at all times, the benefit I derived from that relationship was one-way traffic, which was from Tinubu alone.

“His coming out for the presidency was the only time I was able to pay him back, and I did. If he comes out tomorrow, I will still do it because, at the time, Obasanjo buried me alive, but he stood by me. I won’t forget in a hurry.”
