Dokubo: It’ll be very difficult for a Christian to emerge president in Nigeria

The founder of the defunct Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Force (NDPSF) Alhaji Mujaheed Asari-Dokubo, believes it will be very difficult for a Christian to emerge as president of Nigeria in the nearest future.

Asari-Dokubo who made the assertion in a Facebook Live video on Saturday night, said he arrived at the conclusion as a result of the way Nigerians have turned religion into a major factor in politics.

Asari-Dokubo who also gave his reflection on the outcome of the 2023 general elections in the country, said with the development he had observed, Christians were calling for “a war which they cannot win”, adding that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, erred by allegedly playing the religious card.

“Let me tell you. Today, it will be very difficult for a Christian to become president of Nigeria because Bola Tinubu cannot change anything – like what he did in Lagos.

“Muslim-Muslim ticket has come to stand. There is nothing you can do; mark this word.

“You don’t start a war that you cannot finish. The people that have promoted religion in everything in Nigeria are Christians,” the militant turned activist said in the Facebook Live.
