Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara submitted on Wednesday night that he is neither a member of the ruling APC nor a member of the PDP.
He has also introduced a new status ‘supporter of candidates’.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Dogara, who represents Dass/Tafawa Balewa/Bogoro Federal Constituency, while appearing on Seun Okinbaloye’s ‘Politics Today’ programme on Channels Television, not only confirmed that the relationship between himself and Governor Bala Mohammed had become frosty but also noted that he had actually taken a decision to retain his parliament seat in 2019 because the governor had threatened to deal with him ‘politically’.
The former speaker also said he is only supporting candidates for now and does not belong to the PDP or APC.
‘I am supporting candidates; I am not focusing on any political party for now, I am supporting candidates.
Everybody knows that I backed Atiku Abubakar for Presidency for reasons I told the whole world but in Bauchi State, before primaries were concluded, I had supported the aspiration of Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who is currently the APC governorship candidate and I have my candidates for House of Assembly in my constituency.
I have Senate and House of Representatives candidates that I had helped them in getting into those positions, and I can’t abandon them to ensure political stability’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com
