Maigida Yakubu, a former loyalist of ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara, has strongly criticized him for accepting an appointment from the very government he actively campaigned against during the recent election period.
In an 11-page open letter addressed to Dogara on Friday, Yakubu accused the former Speaker of being the architect of division and decay in the Zaar land.
He labeled Dogara a “master manipulator who has replaced honour with deceit, unity with chaos, trust with betrayal, and drives the community to the edge of fracture.”
Yakubu further chided Dogara for his actions during the 2023 presidential elections, where Dogara famously broke ranks with his own party over the selection of the President’s running mate.

“You made a grand show of denouncing the APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket, parading yourself as some moral crusader. Yet, for the past two years, you have shamelessly been groveling at the feet of the same political group, begging for political appointments without a shred of dignity.
“To crown the hypocrisy, you went to the extent of importing a rented Christian crowd mostly from the Middle Belt just to help you act out your public yet staged disapproval. Not even a shred of kunya (shame) in your conduct.
“Since when did you become the grand coordinator of Christian political mobilization? Oh, as usual, the moment it serves your selfish interest, you’re suddenly all in, full of energy and commitment, like we saw in 2023.
“Truly, a masterclass in double standards! Let’s remind you that the Tinubu government knows exactly who you are, that’s why the government handed you a token chairmanship of a new agency, not as a mark of honour, but as a convenient muzzle.
“Nothing more, nothing less. Well, these days, you are not busy haunting the offices and homes of power brokers like a political housefly, buzzing around without purpose but making sure everyone notices you.”
He accused Dogara of polarising his constituents and exploiting the vulnerable youths for your ego, with nothing to show for in terms of empowerment.
“Remind us again, just for laughs, is there one Basayi son or daughter who can say he or she was genuinely economically or politically empowered from your celebrated reign as Member and Speaker of the House of Representatives?”
