@MikaelCBernard writes: “Asari Dokubo is actually the defacto president of Biafra and a founding member of IPOB. He works with Uche Mefor, Kanu’s former Vice and has always been a Biafran activist. Does this mean that Bulaba is in support of Biafra?? Was he secretly funding agitators???”

@Karovoni writes: “Asari speaks and acts solely for his stomach. He has never and will never speak on behalf of Niger Delta.”
