He said, “Their position is tenure-bound, and that tenure has expired. Let them not cause unnecessary problems for the people of the state.” He cautioned the young people against falling for political manipulation.

He argued that the people ultimately own the power and are entitled to protect the constitutional boundaries of a political office.
Dokubo went on to emphasize what the residents of Rivers are doing, pointing out that “the people are showing people’s power. The people have gone on their own to take over local government secretariats because it is about the people.”
