Yakubu Dogara, a former speaker of the House of Representatives, has lambasted Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, for his criticism of the latter after the latter endorsed Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

RNN reported on Monday, Wike claimed that Dogara lacked integrity in endorsing Atiku after first insisting that the president of Nigeria return to the South.

Dogara, who recently supported Atiku and left the All Progressives Congress (APC) with a few other disgruntled APC members, responded via his Twitter account and denied being a traitor.

He wrote, “To my brother, Governor Nyesom Wike; if there is anything you are suffering from, I never thought amnesia would be one of them. Why would you think no one, except you, is entitled to a certain set of principles he/she cannot compromise?

“It’s such a pity if you cannot remember what our discussion and agreement were all about. Why should only your own position be respected and followed? I would never betray a friend and a brother that is why I won’t respond to your tirade on live TV.

“The details of our conversation are sealed up with me but if you feel it’s okay to throw it to the public, kindly give me written consent to divulge it so that the public can judge who is saying the truth. Thank God there was a witness!”
