As the presidential election petition tribunal enters its pinnacle, Asari Dokubo, an ex-militant and the commander of the Niger Delta militant group, has revealed his men with whom he has prepared to fight for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Dokubo pledged to smash anyone who sought to bring Tinubu down in a popular online video that has gone viral.
“Whatever the enemies are planning, they will fail. I am not a ghost. I just come Saudi Arabia (I just returned from Saudi Arabia). We are here. We work for President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and he will succeed. Anybody who is planning for him to fail, that person already failed.
“We are not competing with anybody. We have never competed with anybody. It is turn by turn. It is Jagaban turn, so, wait for your turn. If you do anyhow, you see anyhow.”

According to Legit.ng, Dokubo revealed his soldiers in the video, who were dressed all in black to resemble a cult group.
At least 300 militants were reportedly paraded at the unveiling site, which resembles the front of his home.
Dokubo had previously appeared in videos that went viral online with what seemed to be an AK-47, suggesting that this was not the first time he had threatened violence and shown dread in public.
He was heard and seen in the viral video yelling threats and racial slurs against the Igbo people while gloating that his ancestors had traded the Igbo people as slaves.
Dokubo then claimed that he had received several text message death threats after making threats to wipe out the Igbo people.
He said:
“You opened, you take your leprosy hand to write. You don’t have respect for the people who bought your father.
“Is it every Kalabari man that is a Kalabari man? Do you know your roots, that you talk to me? You don’t know that people own this Calabari.
“You are law-abiding. Igbos I don’t know them. I don’t know where they come from because I know that if not for Britain’s intervention, I will still be selling them the way my father sold them
