The Bauchi State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caucus of the House of Representatives has described the Speaker, Eighth Assembly, Yakubu Dogara as a political retiree who is seeking relevance by attacking a critic of the President, Bola Tinubu.
The lawmakers in a statement jointly signed on Wednesday by the seven PDP lawmakers said that: “Our message to Dogara, with what we know as federal lawmakers of the betrayal Dogara orchestrated against Tinubu in the 2015 speakership election between him and President’s Chief of Staff, the Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, Dogara should be taking the President Tinubu for a ride if he thinks that maligning Governor Bala Mohammed will erase the treachery and get him the President’s attention.
“It should still be fresh in the minds of both the President and his Chief of Staff on how Dogara and his co-travellers weaponised sectional differences and, deployed a campaign of calumny, to steal the speakership seat from Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila.
“Neither the President nor his Chief of Staff will forget the use of calumnious words that we don't want to mention here again.
“Finally, unlike Dogara who craves personal benefit from the present situation, while pledging to work with the President and all stakeholders towards exiting the present quagmire, let the word go out that we stand resolutely with Governor Bala Mohammed, a nationalist and patriot, a modernising and transformational leader whose iconic footprints on Bauchi’s developmental landscape have changed the lives of our people and his achievements, recognized and applauded by eminent Nigerians including the Federal Government,” the leader of the Caucus, Mansur Manu Soro said.
Dogara had faulted Governor Mohammed for criticising President Bola Tinubu over his economic reform, saying that the policies brought more pain to the nation.
