In his biography titled “A Reed Made Flint” written by Ovation Magazine Boss Dele Momodu, which revealed why he went into politics and emerged speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara claimed the National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu called him into a meeting in his bedroom, asking him to step down for Femi Gbajabiamila, who represents Surulere federal constituency, Lagos State.

As a matter of fact, Asiwaju (Tinubu) is someone that we respect very much and no one can doubt the sterling role he played in the emergence of APC as a government. Asiwaju had through emissaries sought an audience with me and in deference to him, I went to see him along with a colleague, then Right Honourable Kawu Sumaila. When we got to the Asiwaju, seasoned politician that he was, he asked us to come to his bedroom. We held this meeting in his bedroom!

He appealed to us and said what he only wanted, as a leader, as a political father, was for us to please collapse our campaign into Femi’s and declare our support for him. Asiwaju maintained that, as a matter of fact, support for Femi was a support for him. He said if we supported Femi by extension we were actually supporting him and reciprocating the work he did to ensure APC won the Presidency.’

The Cable reports that Dogara further revealed in the book set to be released on December 26, 2017, that he stood his ground;

‘THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY STAND, SIR. IT WAS MY STAND WHEN (AMINU) TAMBUWAL WAS RUNNING FOR THE SPEAKERSHIP AND I RAN FOR THE POSITION FOR DEPUTY SPEAKER. EVEN WHEN MY BOSOM FRIENDS HAD TOLD ME CLEARLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND I KNEW, AS AN EXPERIENCED POLITICIAN, THAT WE WERE RUNNING INTO HEAD WINDS.

I HAD SEEN CLEARLY THE IMPLICATION THAT TAMBUWAL WAS FAVOURED MORE THAN 80% TO CLINCH THE SPEAKERSHIP. BUT I INSISTED THAT I WAS GOING TO RUN BECAUSE THE PARTY HAD SAID THEY HAD ZONED THIS POSITION TO THE NORTH-EAST AND I WANTED TO MAKE A STATEMENT THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE FROM THE NORTH-EAST WILLING TO CONTEND FOR THIS POSITION IN THE INTEREST OF OUR OWN PEOPLE.

EVEN IF I WAS GOING TO LOSE THE ELECTION, LET THE PEOPLE FROM MY ZONE KNOW THAT YES, THEY HAD SOMEONE WHO, WHEN THE POSITION WAS ZONED TO THEM, WAS READY AND WILLING TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. I RAN FOR THAT POSITION TO THE END AGAINST SOMEONE I CONSIDERED TO BE A BROTHER AND A VERY GOOD FRIEND ON THAT PRINCIPLE. IN THIS SITUATION, WE ARE ALREADY BOXED INTO THAT CORNER.

THE PRESIDENT IS NOT FROM NORTH-EAST, THE VICE PRESIDENT IS NOT FROM NORTH-EAST, THE SENATE PRESIDENT WASN’T GOING TO COME FROM THE NORTH-EAST. IF WE FROM THE NORTH EAST NOW CAPITULATE, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANYTHING SERIOUS APART FROM THE POSITION OF THE VICE PRESIDENT THAT ATIKU ONCE OCCUPIED. WE HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THIS CLUB OF LEADERSHIP IN THE COUNTRY.

SINCE YOU HAVE APPEALED TO ME AS A FATHER FIGURE AND I SEE YOU AS A POLITICAL FATHER AND AS A MENTOR, A PERSON WE ALWAYS RAN TO FOR ADVICE REALLY IN THE SEVENTH ASSEMBLY, AND I STILL REMEMBER SO MANY OCCASIONS I HAD TO COME HERE TO SEEK ASSISTANCE ON BEHALF OF OTHERS FROM YOU, I OWE YOU THE RESPONSIBILITY TO LISTEN TO YOUR APPEAL.

BUT I NEED TO GET BACK TO THE MEMBERS WHO ARE SUPPORTIVE OF MY AGENDA AND THEN TO MY CONSTITUENTS BACK HOME. WE WILL DISCUSS AND AT THE END OF THE DAY I WILL GET BACK TO YOU WITH OUR DECISION.’

Big time bad guy

They will tell you it's a lie because it concerns Jagagban.
They will ask for evidence, pictures or videos, because it concerns Jagagban.
They will insult you and call you all sorts of name, because you dare say that Jagagban is capable of doing that....
let me come and be going. Because I cannot come and kill myself.

It's not too early at all, the implosion has begun.

Grown up grand father's? Who have billions to spend on hotels Mansions, jets, yatchs or offices in which they could have held their meeting? But instead chose ones bedroom in the dead of night with no _bitches or wives around?

Anyway make I jejely face front!

What a freaking upstart.

The same people that used over 3,000,000 stubborn Biafran pigs and idiots like you for pepper soup and suya in 1967, and 50 years after the Python is still dancing in your potopoto region.

Hmmmm

This man has refused to understand that "Nigeria is not Lagos"

OK

The more you look, the less you see when it comes to Nigeria politics.
