Keyamo to Dogara: You are a backstabber, political prostitute

179

Mr Festus Keyamo (SAN) has hit back at the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara, for describing President Muhammadu Buhari’s endorsement of APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, as a satire.

Keyamo, who is the Minister of State Labour and Employment, and spokesman for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, described Dogara as a backstabber and political prostitute.

Persecondnews recalls that Dogara in an earlier remark after the APC campaign in Nasarawa, had derided President Buhari’s support for Tinubu.

He had said: “I know that PMB loves to crack jokes but I didn’t know he would escalate it to the level of satire.”

Dogara, in his statement, vehemently disagreed with the President on his support for the APC Presidential flag bearer, saying “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.”

Keyamo had fired back at the former Speaker and law school mate via his official twitter handle.

He tweeted:”My brother and law school mate, @YakubDogara, this tweet is beneath you. You are actually 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.”
