I Was Not Invited For a Meeting with Buhari – Dogara

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, has denied reports that he was invited for a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.

There had been media reports that Buhari would hold a meeting with Dogara and Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila who was the choice of the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership for the speakership position.

Dogara in a statement signed his Special Adviser Media and Public Affairs; Mr. Turaki Adamu Hassan said “Attention of the Office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives has been drawn to some news reports about a purported meeting between Mr. Speaker, the President and some members of the House under the platform of the APC.”

“We wish to make it abundantly clear that there was never a time the Speaker was invited for a meeting with the president on Wednesday July 1, 2015.”

Meanwhile, All Progressives Congress Youth Forum (APCYF) has said that the National Working Committee (NWC) and the feuding leaders in the National Assembly to apologise to Nigerians over the disappointing way they have presented themselves in the wake of the lingering crisis at the National Assembly.

While addressing a press conference Thursday in Abuja, the spokesman of the group, Mr. Ismaeel Ahmed, said the leaders have breached the contract of trust Nigerian people and the APC.
