Aide: Why Dogara was absent at APC NEC meeting
C.I.D Madabum, deputy chief of staff to Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house of representatives, has explained the absence of the nation’s number four citizen at the national executive committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The meeting, which held at APC national secretariat in Abuja on Thursday, had President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and other party leaders in attendance.
In a letter addressed to Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the party, Madabum said Dogara said could not make it to the meeting because he was out of the country.
“I am directed to acknowledge your letter dated 14th August, 2018 but received on 27th August 2018 inviting His Excellency, Speaker, House of Representatives to the meeting of the APC national executive committee (NEC) scheduled to hold on 30th August, 2018,” the letter read.
“I am further directed to most respectfully inform you that His Excellency, the honourable speaker, is regrettably out of the country at the moment and would therefore be unable to attend
“Please convey the sincere regrets of His Excellency, the Honourable Speaker to Mr. President and all the leaders of the party as he wishes all a successful deliberation at the meetmg.
“Please accept as always the highest consideration and best wishes of his Excellency, the speaker, house of representatives.”
Dogara has really done very well in showing due respect for the ruling party. I can only hope that he will not be persecuted by ‘the elements in the party’
Ngerian politics is really a theatre. Politicians today should understand the words of Wiliam Shakespear that they are just BRIEF CANDLE. Those persecuting others today must really think deep or else posterity will judge them poorly.
The chairman of APC in particular must understand that if he intends to make a change, his strategy MUST be different. I would have expected that he wil focus more on issues rather than the mudslinging format he is using for everything.
PLEASE, MR. CHAIRMAN, THINK DEEP.
God bless Nigeria
