Yakubu Dogara, a former House of Representatives speaker, has criticised Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike.
Wike had criticised Dogara for endorsing the People’s Democratic Party’s presidential candidate (PDP).
“What I don’t like in life is people that don’t have character. I can’t stand it. At the appropriate time, I would challenge them to a debate,” Wike said.
“Ask Dogara: ‘What made you leave PDP?’ Dogara was to see me. Unknown to me, he gave me an excuse and I was watching Dogara on TV being received by President Muhammadu Buhari that he has gone to APC.”
However, Dogara threatened to make public a private conversation he had with Wike on Monday night in a series of tweets.
“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 was 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 [is] sealed up with me but if you feel it’s okay to throw it to the public, kindly give me [a] written consent to divulge it so that the public can judge who is saying the truth. Thank God there was a witness!”
