Former Niger Delta freedom fighter Mujahid Asari-Dokubo has predicted landslide victory for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Asari-Dokubo appealed to the Kalabari Kingdom in Rivers State and Ijaw people to vote for the former Lagos Governor insisting that he possesses excellent credentials to secure the Niger Delta.
The freedom fighter spoke in a ceremony he organised at the weekend to mark the 48th birthday of the founder of Belema Oil and billionaire businessman, Tein Jack- Rich in Harry’s Town Akuku-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State.
He said the chiefs in all Kalabari villages had used the occasion to declare that they would support Jack- Rich’s work in the Tinubu campaign and vote for Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.
He said: “Tein Jack-Rich is representing the interest of our people. He occupies a significant and prominent position in the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu campaign structure. We are celebrating him and giving him our full support on his 48th birthday.
“The whole Kalabari gathered, all the chiefs from Kalabiri villages gathered and all have endorsed him to represent and speak for them. They have said come the Presidential election they are going to support Tinubu to become the next President of Nigeria.”
He insisted that by all indications Tinubu would cruise him to victory following his tested and trusted administrative capacity.
He said the Kalabari Kingdom and the Ijaw had already been designated to play important roles in Tinubu’s administration with Jack- Rich already holding a significant position in the Tinubu-Shettima campaign council.
