Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has rubbished
stories claiming that he is at loggerheads with the Senate President,
Bukola Saraki.
Dogara made this clear in a statement signed by Turaki Hassan, his
Special Adviser (Media & Public Affairs) and made available to DAILY
POST.
“Please beware of evil people, merchants of lies, falsehood and
mendacity whose primary occupation is to concoct, contrive, fabricate
and brew mischief and fake news which they spread and broadcast like
wild fire on social media.
“These paid minions who have sold their conscience and souls to the
devil for a morsel have been broadcasting lies on social media
especially WhatsApp with the sole aim of deceiving and hoodwinking the
public into believing that there is a rift between the two leaders of
the National Assembly – Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki and His Excellency Rt
Hon. Yakubu Dogara.
“To the contrary, Dr. Saraki and Barrister Dogara have enjoyed
harmonious working relationship in the last three years. The Rt. Hon.
Speaker will never ever say those things about the President of the
Senate. But for the unsuspecting members of the public and supporters of
the two leaders, we would have ignored this latest round of fallacious
and fictitious perfidy which is nothing but a piece of devilish fiction
as it will fizzle out and end in the pit of hell where it came from,”
the statement read.
Earlier this week, both leaders of the two legislatives houses, issued a joint statement explaining why the National Assembly could not reconvene.
