Rivers NDC: Now That You People Have Activated Us, We’re Coming Out, We Are Going To Show You—Dokubo

Former militant leader and traditional ruler, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari, has launched another verbal attack on Rivers State governorship hopeful Dumo Lulu-Briggs of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), expressing strong doubts about his chances of winning the forthcoming election.

Dokubo made the remarks during a live broadcast on his official Facebook page on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, where he questioned Lulu-Briggs’ political influence, particularly among the Kalabari people.

While commenting on the politician’s governorship ambition, Dokubo argued that his election would offer little or no benefit to the Kalabari community. He went further to suggest that Lulu-Briggs’ emergence as governor could create instability rather than promote development.

The former militant leader subsequently challenged Lulu-Briggs to demonstrate his electoral strength across several Kalabari communities, including Boguma in Ogwama, Eleme Kalabari and Abonnema, where the governorship candidate has personal and family connections.

Dokubo expressed confidence that Lulu-Briggs would struggle to secure meaningful electoral support, even in areas where he might ordinarily be expected to enjoy considerable backing. He specifically questioned whether the candidate could obtain even a single vote in some of these communities.

Dokubo also addressed the criticism he has received from individuals supporting Lulu-Briggs, saying their attacks had encouraged him and his associates to become more vocal in the political dispute.

He warned that he and his supporters were prepared to demonstrate their political strength, adding that those who had challenged them should also be ready for the confrontation that could follow.

Furthermore, Dokubo maintained that he had no intention of convincing anyone who had chosen to regard him as an adversary to change their opinion. He insisted that he did not start the disagreement but was prepared to respond to what he described as a political battle initiated by his critics.

His latest comments have added another dimension to the growing political tension surrounding Lulu-Briggs’ governorship ambition in Rivers State.
