A former Member of House of Representatives and chairman, Northern Professionals (NP), Hon. Abubakar Adamu, has faulted the reason given by the Sokoto state governor, Aminu Tambuwal on why he backed Hon. Yakubu Dogara to emerge the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Adamu said although the former Speaker has the right to choose his own democratic path, he should desist from portraying the Northerners as betrayers and ingrates.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Monday by the group, Adamu urged governor Tambuwal to allow the healing process in the House Representatives to complete it cycle, adding that he should also apologize to Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila for his treachery.
Tambuwal had expressed his personal opinion on why he supported Yakubu Dogara as Speaker against Femi Gbajabiamila's candidacy, adding that he believes the Speaker would be able to handle the job.
The statement stated that: "While Tambuwal has the right to chose his own democratic path, he should desist from portraying we Northerners as Betrayers and ingrates. We do not regret our support for the party's speakership candidate, Femi Gbajabiamila because his competency transcends managing members' welfare only.
He defended the masses throughout his minority leadership in the House and led the Opposition for 8 years without blemish. Let's even pretend Tambuwal's explanation on Dogara's competency over Gbajabiamila is genuine, how does he justify his support for Bukola Saraki against his party's choice, Ahmed Lawan in the Senate?
