Last week’s defection of former Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara to the All Progressives Congress, APC, is due largely to his ambition of becoming President or Vice President of Nigeria in 2023, Senator Walid Jibrin has revealed.

Jibrin who chairs the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, stated this yesterday in a statement issued in Abuja, made available to journalists.

Chiding Dogara for failing to take advantage of the channels of dispute resolutions within the party; Senator Jibrin urged Nigerians to dismiss reasons advanced by the former Speaker for returning to the ruling party for the second time.

He said: “I am beginning to suspect that Mr. Dogara has a plan of becoming President or Vice President in 2023 which he knows he will never achieve in PDP. I want to assure the former Speaker that PDP shall continue to be very strong and united and it’s doors remain open to all Nigerians; therefore, PDP will never accept any plan by anybody to destroy the party.”

The statement read in part: “I have read with mixed feelings the reasons given by former Speaker, House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara for decamping to APC. I am equally sorry for Dogara for not exhausting all avenues available in the party’s constitution for settlement of disputes or complaints by a member of the party.


“I became more disturbed with the reasons given by Mr. Dogara for his decamping considering his position as a former speaker.

“In his position as a member of BoT, Mr. Dogara never laid any complaints to me as the chairman of BoT which is the highest advisory organ of the party and the conscience of the party.

Considering the reasons given by Dogara for his defection, one is compelled to say that Mr. Dogara has other strong reasons for leaving the PDP.”

He pledged BoT’s support for the second term bid of Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state, even as he vowed to work tirelessly for his victory in the September 19 governorship election.

Dogara caused quite a stir last week when he dumped the PDP for the APC. Although he is yet to address the press, the former Speaker has premised his defection on the alleged failure of Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state to deliver on his campaign promises.

He quit PDP to get his own share of the APC lootings as a criteria.

Presidential ambition dead on arrival.

APC has APCed Nigeria without remorse and batting eye lid.

well, if it's for president... jagaban we know...

maybe he might be considered for VP which I doubt shall...

What of Atiku?

Smart move.. Northern Christians like Boss Mustapha and Dogara are top contenders for VP slot

.

In Nigeria, everyone feels they are qualified to be president but the real issues to address should they be president, is far off their intentions & abilities.

I doubt he can be President in APC, maybe they can consider him for VP. Nigerian politicians have no ideologies, they only care about their ambition.

He Is Making The Wrong Move At The Right Time.

Yakubu Dogara would be a top contender for the top job from the North East APC in my opinion but he should kiss that ambition goodbye because 2023 is for the South(SS,SE,and SW)

May be VP position but still how about those who have been nursing same ambition under Apc for years?

Well , part of our yams still dey to waste

The best he can get is to become a Vice President, and partner with someone from the south. What happened to people who have been in APC and have been planning on becoming the president?

Who go dash monkey banana?

A fly that has no one to advice him follows dead body into the grave.

Dogara is a serial betrayer in his political career

Ohh

Hahahahaaa! There are so many upcoming comedians in Nigeria.

Dogara becoming a President or Vice President of Nigeria in 2023?

Greediness at it peak, Na second coming kill mongo park

Pls let all these irrelevant people keep off and free us.

We are still talking of the impossibility of Tinubu becoming the president and another one called Dogara too raising his head anyway as Nigerians Tinubu, Dogara, El Rufall has constitutional right to vie for the presidency but to become the president is what they should forget.

He doesn't want to steal from the Cupboard again, he prefers the main Billion Van and CBN...

Dogara is not part of the list

every politicians will be careful in dealing with him because of nature of politics his playing

HE MAY BE ABLE TO BUY THE N E BACK FROM BOKOHARAMS AND MIYETTI ALLAH FULANI HERDSMEN.

You are living in a fool's paradise: Jagaban can't be grilled by anybody or any government's agency!

Some elements in apc have promised him a vice president to that bullion van vagabon called Tinubu an internally displaced politician whose political career is at the edge of the mountain.

They have successfully brainwashed him.
