The former president of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, claimed that he is the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, which facilitated the aspirations of governor of the governor of the state of Bauchi, Senator Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir when ensuring that he obtained the ticket of government PDP in 2018.
The last development occurs following the media war between Senator Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir and Nyesom Wike, who has now taken a new dimension with the union of the former speaker, Yakubu Dragara in the war.
Dogara also claimed that the governor of the state of Bauchi, in 2018, towards his governor campaigns raised money as Wike's support as governor of the state of Rivers at that time.
The former speaker made the accusations in a statement that made available to journalists in Bauchi on Tuesday entitled: “Governor Balance vs He Wike: Let the truth be told.”
In the statement, Dangara declared: “The recent outbursts of Governor Bala Mohammed against his excellence, Nyesom Wike, the honorable Minister of the Territory of the Federal Capital, although it is not entirely surprising, it has only served to expand the views of ingratitude and betrayal based on what I know. “
He emphasized: “He had called Wike to beg him to help us in Bauchi without necessarily revealing that it was a Mohammed bullet that we wanted to deliver. His answer to me was that are you sure you have 100 percent process control? I said, I wasn't too sure and he told me, leave me, I will help you solve it. “
“To do so, Wike first made his friend and close ally, the boss Dan Osi Orbih is the president of the panel for the primary and said that he should discuss what he wanted with the boss Dan. We talked and on the eve of the primaries, the boss Dan was in the city of Benin and we needed to take him to Bauchi for the homework, he went to Wike to whom I returned and his answer to me was, my brother. I told you not to bother you for this. “
Yakubu Dogara added: “Tell the boss to come to meet me in Port Harcourt. I did exactly that and, surprisingly, Wike provided the private jet that flew to the boss to Bauchi and out of Bauchi for the task. I can say without fear of any contradiction that Wike had all the expenses for the exercise. Therefore, it is shocking that this so -called transactional character called Wike has not put any condition at all for your support. “
The former speaker added: “That is just the beginning of the story, I hate to say it, but I must do it. After the appearance of Mohammed bullet as the carrier of the party's flag and have promised to sponsor all the candidates of the party if he receives the Ticket, they woke us up with the reality that Bala Mohammed had no money for their own campaigns and much less for other party candidates.
He emphasized: “Initially, I thought it was a kind of fun joke, but as time passed, I realized my absolute bewilder A meeting at my then residence in Wuse 2, abuses to help raise money and we think that from bullying Mohammed was a minister once for almost six years, he must have built enough good will so that we could take advantage of if we organize a collection of funds for him .
“A Committee and Post N20 million was established to organize the collection of funds in the then Lady Kwai Hall, Sheraton Hotels, Abuja. Before that, I had asked Bala Mohammed to give me a list of some of the people I had helped while I had an FCT minister. He forced the list and after calling only four people on the list that I know so well, what they told me shook me and reserve it for some other day. “
“But it is enough to say that I knew that the collection of funds will be a failure, so I was already thinking about alternatives. And as predicted, we had the collection of funds and to shorten the long history, everything we raised from the collection of funds was an insignificant N48 million and if it deduces the n20 million invested in organizing it, it leaves it with a network of N28 million. I have the records and our interested parties are there to testify to this, ”he added.
According to him, “when it was obvious, the masquerade will soon resort to a human being, I told our two senators that they are alive and can testify that the only option we had was to go to a friend and brother, then the governor Wike for help. We received tickets and fly to Port Harcourt with Mohammed bullet without informing Wike that we came with him. ”
He explained more in addition: “It was like, speaker, why did you bring bullet to my house without even worrying about discovering what our mission was? I told him that I thought he was your friend since both served in the same cabinet under President Jonathan. He told me, let me tell you what you don't know. When we were ministers, Bala Mohammed assigned land plots to all ministers except me.
“He also recalled how he humbled him when he went to see him in his office as Minister Collega only to obtain an approval to increase the number of floors in a building in Abuja, not to beg for the plot that he refused to assign him. He said. That Mohammed's bullet kept him in his waiting room for hours and then left the office.
“That from that day he decided to never have anything to do with him again. He added, I wish, you had told me that it is a bullet that you were supporting, but whatever they want, I will help them because I do not tell him not to a brother, but I assure them that he will regret his decision if Bala Mohammed becomes governor. The rest is history.”
Yakubu Dogara added that Wike faced bullet with these problems outdoors and in our same presence. Bala admitted and apologized.
He added: “To shorten the long history, we spent the night in the Government's house and the next morning Wike called and ordered that my cash assistance be given to me to gun. I said: His excellence is better to call him so he can collect the help himself, at least he thinks he is still angry with him. I sent bullet and when I came, the Wike assistant gave him the package and picked it up while he almost kissed the ground.
“Therefore, Wike gave us the lifeguard we needed to start bullet campaigns.”
There, he gave us a private jet to transport us back to Abuja. And I must add that it was not the only time Wike helped bullet with resources and logistics. What is disconcerting is that the so -called transactional Wike did not demand anything in return or placed any condition for everything he did. Believe me, this is not the end of the story, but let's leave here, “he added.
According to the former speaker, “With all this, my bullet question is, what happens to the golden adage that you do not try to break the Calabash that once you suck honey? For bullet, power is a poison and anyone who questions how it exercises it, for that reason, is an eternal heretic that must be crushed at all costs. “
“When Wike was his benefactor, he said he knew that Wike had done better than him and referred to him as” someone who is brave, focused and determined, a qualified and competent person to help save Nigeria. “His words do not mine .
