2023: Ex-SGF Lawal, Dogara hold meeting with Wike

Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara and the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, on Saturday had a meeting with the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike in Port Harcourt.

It was gathered that the epoch making meeting was  held at Governor Wike’s country home in Rumueprikom, Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.

In an interview with newsmen  after the meeting, Dogara said the visit was arranged as part of the move to build a robust and greater Nigeria.

“Everyone agrees with us that Governor Wike is one of those indispensable political leaders. For us, it is a search to build an all-inclusive Nigeria. So we feel that as part of agenda setting, we should meet with him, and that is the reason why we are here. And for the rest, whatever it is, maybe in the future we can discuss that.”

Also speaking,, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation explained that it was a brotherly visit to discuss on way forward for Nigeria.

“We came to visit our brother, Wike). Every now and then, the Bible enjoins you to visit one another. That is what we just did.”

According to him, the meeting with Wike  had nothing to do with the meeting some northern leaders held in Abuja on Friday.

It will be recalled that Dogara and Lawal have kicked against the Muslim-Muslim ticket presented by APC.
