The ex-militant spoke in a Facebook Live on Saturday, July 29, monitored by Legit.ng.
He said.
“After the crisis of 2003, 2004, nobody has heard my name in any crisis. I have my right to life, naturally guaranteed by God, and nobody has the right to take my life.
“Nobody has the right to ask anybody to attack me. I have not committed any crime.
“I work; my governor should know what work I am doing. I am doing a legitimate job for the government.
“The governor does not go out without security, the military personnel who are there (state security heads) go out with security.
“I don’t even know who I’m fighting, they know me. So, I should be walking around without security. Where do I display weapon (sic)? How many times do people see me in the public? So, who have I disturbed? Let people come out to say ‘this is the people Alhaji Dokubo-Asari has disturbed'. I challenge anyone.”
He added:
“If I were governor, I would not be that stupid to make such stupid statement.”
Furthermore, Dokubo said his aversion to Fubara’s declaration of Rivers as a Christain state may have infuriated the governor, but he “has no problem with the governor”.
