A former leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), Asari Dokubo, has called on President Bola Tinubu to surrender, citing worsening economic hardship and the rising cost of living in Nigeria.
Dokubo made the remarks in a video circulating on social media, where he was seen brandishing a sword and singing a war song while criticising the current state of the economy.
Speaking in Pidgin English, the former militant leader insisted that Tinubu could not win a fight and should step aside, lamenting the high cost of fuel and other essential commodities.
“Tinubu, na me dey tell you, you no go fit fight. Tinubu surrender. The country too hard. We dey vex,” Dokubo said.
He further expressed frustration over the country’s economic situation, questioning why Nigerians continued to experience hardship despite the existence of refineries.
“We have refineries, but they’re not working in this country. Nothing is working in this country, and we’ll not continue in this situation. We’re hungry. We’re hungry. We’re hungry, and this must stop. It must stop,” he added.
Meanwhile, Nigerian entertainer and social commentator Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy or the Area Father, has reacted to Dokubo’s outburst, mocking the former militant leader over his criticism of the President.
Reposting the video on X, Charly Boy suggested that Dokubo’s sudden expression of dissatisfaction might be linked to the alleged failure of the presidency to renew his benefits or privileges.
“Asari say make Tinubu surrender.
“Say country too hard. Bulaba never renew him subscription,” Charly Boy wrote.
The exchange has drawn attention to growing public conversations about Nigeria’s economic challenges, the rising cost of living and reactions to the Federal Government’s handling of the situation.
