Asari Dokubo has issued a stern warning to the former
Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, vowing to “catch and contain” him as he
claims to have done with others in the past. In a fiery statement that has
since sparked widespread reactions, Asari implied that his methods of handling
political opponents are well known to the government.
The verbal clash between Asari Dokubo, a former
militant leader, and Nyesom Wike, who now serves as the Minister of the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT), has been escalating. Dokubo’s remarks seem to hint at
his longstanding influence and alleged connections within the corridors of
power.
He stated:
“I will catch Wike and contain him like I have done to
others. The government knows who I am and what I can do. He [Wike] should tread
carefully.”
The context of this feud stems from earlier political
disagreements and accusations exchanged between the two figures, both of whom
have significant influence in the Niger Delta and beyond. Wike, known for his
outspoken nature, has yet to officially respond to Asari’s latest outburst.
Observers believe that the tension might escalate
further if left unchecked, as both individuals have strong political followings
and a history of not backing down in confrontations. Meanwhile, calls for
restraint and dialogue have begun to emerge from political leaders and
stakeholders, urging the duo to prioritize peace and unity over personal
grievances.
