Political Life
Relation of Former President of Nigeria
Goodluck Jonathan
Azibaola Robert is not an active member of any political party. Though he is an avowed believer of Democracy, he has never nursed interest to hold any political office and has not shown interest in being a card-carrying member of any political party.
He has never attended any political meeting of any political party; although by virtue of his relationship with former President Goodluck Jonathan, he has canvassed preference for Goodluck Jonathan's candidacy as President of Nigeria. Thereafter, he has remained apolitical in his views but always stands for the public interest at all times.

Environmentalist

He has been an environmentalist who has always stood for nature, especially the preservation of the Niger Delta rainforests.
On the 5th of October 2021, Azibaola led a team of environmentalists into the deep forests of the Niger Delta rainforests on a 14-day Expedition to investigate the state of the forest in view of natural resource depletion and Climate Change. This was done to bring to the attention of and educate the locals on the dangers of killing wildlife, wood logging and to bring an awareness to the untapped rich deposits of wildlife and forest reserves in the Niger Delta forests. The Expedition was the first of its kind in Nigeria.

Travails
In March 2016, following the change of Government in Nigeria, where his cousin, President Goodluck Jonathan, was defeated at the polls, Azibaola Robert was arrested in circumstances largely viewed as witch-hunt, over payment his company received to carry out security activities for the Nigerian Government for the safe exploration of crude oil in the explosively hostile security environment of the Niger Delta. He was, after undue prolonged detention, tried alongside his wife, Mrs. Stella Robert, acquitted of all charges on 28th May 2019, and was subsequently upheld by a panel of three (3) Justices of the Court of Appeal of Nigeria, Abuja.
