Atiku’s endorsement: You’re suffering from amnesia, Dogara tells Wike

The former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, has lashed out at Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, saying the latter is suffering from amnesia.

Dogara said this via a series of tweets on his Twitter account on Monday, in reaction to Wike’s statement about his endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

The former House of Reps Speaker said he had an agreement with Governor Wike which he said he won’t reveal to the public because he “is not a betrayal”.

He stated that Wike is self-centered, noting that the governor has been insisting only his positions should be respected and followed.

“To my brother, Governor Nyesom Wike; if there is anything you are suffering from, I never thought amnesia would be one of them. Why would you think no one, except you, is entitled to a certain set of principles he/she cannot compromise? It’s such a pity if you cannot remember what our discussion and agreement was all about. Why should only your own position be respected and followed?

“I would never betray a friend and a brother that is why I won’t respond to your tirade on live TV. The details of our conversation is sealed up with me but if you feel it’s okay to throw it to the public kindly give me a written consent to divulge it so that the public can judge who is saying the truth. Thank God there was a witness,” Dogara said.
