At a news conference in Abuja on
Friday, Oshiomhole insisted that Dogara was not like Senate President, Bukola
Saraki.
“I have absolute confidence in
Right Honourable Yakubu Dogara. I said something earlier that it was Sen.
Saraki that complained. He did not only complain that he was not given juicy
appointments but that Rt. Hon. Dogara was also not given and I wondered aloud
whether Saraki thought that Dogara is not capable of speaking for himself,
afterall he is the Speaker.
“So, if those were the views of
Rt. Hon. Dogara, it was not for Sen. Saraki to parrot because Hon. Dogara is capable
any day of speaking for himself.
“The point I tried to make is
that Saraki wants to drag everybody along with him.
“The APC as a party and myself as
Chairman, we have confidence in Hon. Dogara. I have had very useful
interactions with him. We have had couple of meetings. He had shared with me in
trust, his concerns that have to do with issues in Bauchi state and I have
taken steps to address those issues to the best of my ability and I have shared
with him that I am excited that we are getting very positive results.
“So, Hon. Dogara has no problem
whatsoever with the APC and he did not do anything similar to what Sen. Saraki
did. He emerged as Speaker and he also ensured as a patriot that an APC member
emerged as Deputy Speaker. He was not so desperate as to mortgage that position
to PDP in order to cling on to his speakership. He knew the difference between
personal interests and his party interests,” Oshiomhole said.
Pit mouth Oshiomole...when dogara finally defects, I know your narration will change...
