Hon. Yakubu Dogara
Hon. Yakubu Dogara has distanced his emergence as the Speaker of the House of Representatives from the politics of 2019.
There were insinuations in some quarters that Saraki and Dogara are warning up to run under one presidential ticket in 2019.
However, the lawmaker said the ongoing internal crisis rocking the party over the outcome of the national assembly leadership election would in no way affect the party.
He insisted that the change the APC promised Nigerians would be delivered to them in the offing.
Dogara spoke in Abuja when he met with a delegation of the defunct 2014 Presidential Primaries Committee of the APC.
The speaker said, “We are here to work and we don’t have any reason to fail.
“We cannot fail. That is why I pick holes in the ambition of those who have their eyes fixed on 2019.
“We didn’t get here because of 2019. If we do the right things and the people see results, 2019 will take care of itself. We can’t fail because we are here to bring change.”
He claimed that the APC was not in crisis as people were meant to believe, adding that whatever differences that were expressed would be resolved.
“People talk about crisis in the party, I don’t see any crisis. Even if there is, the party has the capacity to deal with whatever issue pertaining to its members and their interests.
“The crisis being perceived by a section of people in the APC is not a crisis, but simply a conflict of ideas because we are not perfect as we are all products of imperfection,” Dogara told the delegation. .
