Former Campaign spokesman of President Bola Tinubu in the southeast, Dr. Josef Onoh, has told the former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, that the president isn’t perturbed by his ranting, nor interested in any discussion about a second term in office because it will form a distraction on the President’s ongoing reforms.

Dokubo had accused President Tinubu of betrayal and neglect, threatening that henceforth the people of the Niger Delta would form an alliance with the north to scuttle Tinubu’s second term possibility.

Onoh is his response to Dokubo told the former militant leader that the President is purely interested and focused on stabilising the economy, food security and development of all sectors of the economy, maintaining that these heavy tasks are too deafening for his ears to hear the “popping noises of popcorns and soda water.”

Onoh recalled that Asari Dokubo in his apology to his forefathers insinuated that his forefathers were not wrong in forming an alliance with northern Nigeria in the past, and as young men, they too will now start that same alliance because the President allegedly betrayed Dokubu.

But Onoh said, “May I remind Asari that such alliance his forefathers and Ijaws held with the north was commercial and Agricultural alliance structured more on business benefits and never political. Therefore any political alliance against President Tinubu ahead of 2027 will fail.

“The South East have continuously advocated for an Igbo President and won’t support any other candidate against Tinubu come 2027 from any other region as such opposition candidate will still seek a second term in office at the detriment of Igbo presidency.

“The South West has produced two presidents and a vice president, the south South has produced a vice president and President, the north has produced two presidents and three vice presidents and after President Tinubu’s term in office, power will shift to the north and only President Tinubu can guarantee an Igbo vice president which will lay the foundation for an Igbo presidency.

“Even the north are aware of that political complexity, hence they won’t make such political mistake to deny President Tinubu a second term in office if he decides to seek for it.”
