Rivers: Somebody Met Me And Said God Has Chosen Him To Become Governor Of Rivers — Dokubo Reacts

Former militant leader and traditional ruler, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari, has expressed displeasure with prominent Port Harcourt-based lawyer, Chief Barrister Otonye T. K. D. Amachree, over his interpretation of recent remarks concerning political contenders in the Rivers State governorship race, including Dumo Lulu-Briggs.

Dokubo addressed the issue during a live broadcast on his official Facebook page on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, where he challenged the lawyer’s understanding of his earlier comments.

During the broadcast, the former militant leader expressed disappointment with Amachree, suggesting that the lawyer had misunderstood his message. He also made remarks about what he perceived as a decline in his elder’s memory and ability to reason critically.

Dokubo explained that his earlier question about Dumo Lulu-Briggs’ contributions to the Kalabari people was not intended to attack anyone but rather to seek clarification about the political discussion.

He questioned why his reference to a respected Kalabari ancestor had been interpreted as disrespectful, maintaining that he mentioned the community’s forefather in a positive and honourable context.

The traditional ruler further urged Amachree to reconsider his position, arguing that the lawyer’s interpretation of the matter was misplaced. He warned that the assumptions being made about his statements could lead to serious misunderstandings.

Dokubo also insisted that he never mentioned Dumo Lulu-Briggs by name in the comments that sparked the controversy. According to him, Amachree simply assumed that his remarks were directed at Lulu-Briggs because of his support for the governorship aspirant.

He suggested that the lawyer appeared to regard Lulu-Briggs as the only candidate worthy of consideration in the forthcoming Rivers State governorship contest.

In another part of the broadcast, Dokubo narrated an encounter with an individual who approached him, claiming to have received divine instructions to become the next governor of Rivers State.

Recounting the incident, Dokubo said he challenged the individual to return to God and seek further confirmation, particularly regarding whether he had been instructed to approach him for political support.

He maintained that the encounter was genuine and that the individual involved was still alive.
