Asari Dokubo, a former militant leader in the Niger Delta, has claimed that the federal government headed by President Bola Tinubu is the worst in history.
Asari claimed that some Niger Delta residents, especially those of the Ijaw ethnic group, are already upset with the current administration in a widely shared video clip on Wednesday.

During the election season, the former militant, who was a fervent supporter of Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), bemoaned having previously given the Ijaw people assurances about the government’s performance.
But based on what he said, it appears that the Ijaw people are living in a nightmare under the Tinubu administration.
According to Asari, President Tinubu’s government is being put to the test by the political unrest roiling Rivers State.
He claimed that Rivers State will be the starting point of “any fire” resulting from the purportedly poor governance.
“This is the worst government,” he declared. The Ijaw people consider this government to be the worst. For them, this is a nightmare. Many Ijaw people called us during our campaign for you, saying, “Presido, Tinubu is your friend oo, we hope he is not going to look the other way.”
“And I told everyone that they should hold me accountable if Tinubu fails. They are now inquiring as to my level of certainty.
“Rivers State serves as a litmus test; any fire will begin there if one exists.”
“I am powerless to stop them. I am powerless to stop them or even get in the way of them as an individual.
