FORMER Niger Delta militant leader Asari Dokubo has once again criticised President Bola Tinubu for his “lopsided appointments” in his administration.
Dokubo decried in a viral social media video that he and his supporters had been abandoned after endorsing Tinubu’s presidential candidacy.
He also accused the president of making one-sided appointments, similar to former President Muhammadu Buhari, who had core followers, which according to him, Tinubu does not have.
“President Bola Tinubu is traveling on a very dangerous path. And if he doesn’t change, even we, who are his hardcore supporters, will not be able to stand with him.
“It’s up to you if you feel comfortable now. They tell you that you can do whatever you like. You can do worse than what Buhari did.
“Buhari did one-sided appointments, and you feel you can do your own one-sided appointments. You are not Buhari; know that.
“Buhari had a core followership, you do not have that sort of core followership. If there are core followers, we are your core followers.
“Those people who are now around, making decisions, making appointments, they were afraid to stand by you. If they were not afraid, they wouldn’t have contested for the House of Reps and so on.
“They actually believed you would not win the election. They were saying that a bird in hand is worth more than thousands in the bush.
“But we staked everything and stood by you. Today you brought them so that they laugh at us. They were afraid to offend people, but today they’re the masters.”
