youths caution Ex-reps speaker over attacks on governor
A group, Bogoro Youth Vanguard in Bogoro Local Government Area of Bauchi State, has described the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, as a desperate politician.
The group said going through his recent actions, Dogara was seeking notice and recognition from President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
In a statement titled, “Re: Gov. Bala Mohammed’s latest tirade and truculent buffoonery,” signed by the Chairman, Habila Daniel and Secretary, Philip Kimsa, the group said the attack on the governor by the former speaker was unnecessary and uncalled for.
It said an effective and formidable opposition would help any responsible government to brace up and act in the right direction, stating further that bringing in a vendetta and overheating the polity was not the right way to go.
The group said, “When it comes to trivialities, Dogara has proven to have won many awards with his edge-cutting records of childishness when engaging in national political matters.
“Less we forget, there is no politician in this country in the past 20 years that has exhibited a high propensity of betrayal, biting the fingers that feed him like Dogara has done, for the short period of political life he has lived.
“He has firmly masterminded the art of treachery and envy as against service to the nation or loyalty to political beliefs and dogma.”
It lauded the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, for demonstrating capacity in rebuilding Bauchi and ensuring sustainable peace and mutual relationships among the citizens of the state.
The group said it was obvious Dogara still nursed the pains of the last governorship election in the state.
“For many of us at home, we knew that the introduction of Dogara into the campaign team of Air Vice Marshal Sadique was a killer itself, a lesson for any candidate in the future.
“Does he need to be reminded that he has no political structure at home? Whoever Dogara points the hand at is already an apology and lacking the right moral fibre to ride on,” the group stressed.
