Former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has said he cannot chose the suspended governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, over President Bola Tinubu.

Dokubo had been one of the vocal supporters of Fubara before he got suspended by President Tinubu.

He also stood by Fubara amid his feud with his predecessor, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

The feud, which almost got Fubara impeached by the Rivers State House of Assembly, led to his suspension and the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers by the President.

After the suspension, Dokubo, a long time friend of Tinubu, was left to chose between the President and the suspended governor.

In a video sighted by MyNigeria, the former militant leader could be seen picking Tinubu over Fubara.

Giving reasons, he said, "When you have a friend, it becomes difficult to part with him because you have to look back at yesterday. The memories of yesterday will keep on playing in your head.

"In my darkness of time, Ahmed Bola Tinubu stood by me. I can't forget it so easily, no matter what happens."
