President Bola Tinubu received Asari Dokubo, a former militant leader and a prominent voice from the Niger Delta in audience at the State House. The meeting was reportedly held behind closed doors and the presidency has not released any official statement regarding the discussion.
Asari Dokubo has been a vocal critic of President Buhari’s administration, especially the handling of the Niger Delta issue. His visit to the State House may be seen as a move to garner support for his cause, or it may be a sign of a potential shift in his political alliance.
President Tinubu is a key political figure in Nigeria, and his meeting with Asari Dokubo, despite their ideological differences, may be a sign of the national leader’s willingness to engage with diverse voices from across the country. However, the true implications of the meeting remain to be seen.
