The spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo; and a immediate past Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, traded words on Sunday over the endorsement of the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, by the President, Muhammadu Buhari.
Recall that Buhari on Saturday, had said he will continue to campaign for Tinubu as the “next president of Nigeria”.
Buhari, on his Twitter handle, described Tinubu as a Nigerian who would give his best to Nigeria.
The tweet read, “Today in Lafia, Nasarawa State, I delivered my message: vote Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next President of Nigeria and vote Governor Abdullahi Sule for a second term. I have known Asiwaju for more than 20 years; he is a committed Nigerian; he will give his best to Nigeria.”
Dogara, who reacted to the president’s comment, however, described it as a satire.
He said, “I know that PMB loves to crack jokes but I didn’t know he will escalate it to the level of satire. Asiwaju will give his best to Nigeria, really? Fake certificates, fake parentage, golden triangle escapades, racketeering. No, PMB. Nigeria does not deserve his best but we get the satire.”
In an exchange that followed, Keyamo said the comment was beneath Dogara, just as he described him as a political prostitute and backstabber.
He said, “My brother and law schoolmate, @YakubDogara, this tweet is beneath you. You are pained by the support of PMB for @officialABAT, two leaders who have stayed true to their beliefs and causes, unlike the political prostitute, wanderer and back-stabber that you’ve always been.”
