2023: Dogara, Keyamo clash dirty over Tinubu’s endorsement

The Minister of state for Labour and Employment, and spokesman for the Tinubu-Shettima Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, has described the former speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, in a tweet on Sunday as a ‘political prostitute, wanderer, and back-stabber’.

The backlash came after Dogara reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s endorsement of Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, at a campaign in Nasarawa state, as a mockery.

Reacting to Dogara’s response, Keyamo said, “My brother and law schoolmate, @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 & back-stabber that you’ve always been.”

Responding, Dogara said, “My brother, I have a name for you but because it’s not a good one, I won’t say it as a cost of friendship. Yes, we were mates at Law School but I am waiting for you to win a councilorship election first so we can be mates in politics. Learn to punch below your weight category.”
