Rumours of a disagreement between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, the head of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, have been denied by militants operating in the Niger Delta under the banner of the Supreme Egbesu Freedom Fighters of the Niger Delta (SEFFND).
Self-styled General Agadagba 1, also known as River Don, the terrorist group’s leader, claimed responsibility for the blackmail and rumours in a statement on Tuesday.
Agadagba stated that the rumor’s backers are jealous of Dokubo while adamantly stating that President Tinubu never forbade Dokubo-Asari from visiting the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

He said: “The aim of the blackmailers is to infuse bad blood between Tinubu and Dokubo-Asari to fuel hostilities in the Niger Delta with falsehood and blackmail.
“They also want to create an imaginary rift between him and Tinubu through falsehood and cheap blackmail.
“It is obvious that they are envious of Alhaji Dokubo-Asari taking up a notable position at the centre stage in the seat of power.
“We know those behind the fake news, they are not comfortable with Dokubo-Asari’s genuine concern and commitment to stand side by side in support of President Tinubu and for shunning every rebellious attack and criticism.
“We, therefore, call on the desperate pipeline contractors to desist from their negative actions or face the consequences.

”We further insist that the government should decentralize the award of oil pipeline surveillance contracts to accommodate all the critical stakeholders and ethnic nationalities in the Niger Delta for sustained peace and security.“
