The Director of Media and Publicity for Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, said former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, lost his mind after the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu snubbed him to pick Kashim Shettima as his running mate, for the 2023 election.
“Former Speaker of House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara has apparently lost his mind since he could not realise his self-imposed ambition to be on the presidential ticket of All Progressives Congress,” Onanuga said in a statement on Monday.
Accusing Dogara of delivering hate speech, Mr Onanuga berated the former speaker as “a reprobate and demagogue, delivering hate speeches and whipping up emotions, with the aim of setting our country ablaze.”
Tinubu’s choice of a fellow Muslim, former Borno governor, Mr Shettima, has continued to draw the ire of party members and other Nigerians, especially those professing to be Christians.
A Christian from Bauchi, Dogara had openly criticised the APC Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket, describing it as a “satanic” move that could trigger an uprising and disintegration of the country.
