The Defective Dogara Moves Again
Udora Orizu writes that the cycle of defection by the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, justifies the widely held opinion that Nigerian political parties are populated by fairweather politicians, who do not subscribe principles and ethics
This norm, sadly has justified the accepted culture that some politicians allow personal ambition to turn them to political prostitutes. The defection which trended on various social media, got tongues wagging and people airing their views, some opined that he won’t be an asset to APC but a liability, some said his decision to dump the PDP is not surprising considering that he has not been heard of in the party lately.
The source said Dogara is also seen as a candidate that could be sold for the Presidency of Nigeria in the South, being a Christian, in case “the powers that be” decide not to cede power to the South. “The second permutation is that should the Northern establishment be unwilling to cede power to the South in 2023, a Northern Christian with support from across geopolitical boundaries will be a master stroke.”
He assured those aggrieved that the party leadership would ensure that justice prevailed in the rebuilding efforts. “We will do justice to all our members and that’s what will bring peace and that is what will guarantee peaceful co-existence. “That is what will bring the consolidation of the party, the rebuilding of the party. Without doing justice, you cannot achieve that and we are sure of doing justice to all our members.”
