All is not well in the camp of Speaker, Yakubu Dogara as one of his aides has tendered his letter of resignation over accusations.
The senior legislative aide to the Speaker House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, Zakariah Yasan Sinimbut has resigned. Sinimbut made his resignation public while chatting with journalists in Bauchi.
His resignation came after he was accused by other Dogara’s aides of working against his interest and siding with his opponents, an allegation he denies.
Sinimbut was the spokesperson of Dogara Campaign Organisation before his resignation.
He explained his reasons in a statement which reads: “I have been working with the speaker with all honesty and I have never worked against any of his interest. It is a known fact that the APC doesn’t have a house member in Bogoro, because we did not win the election there.
“When Honourable Rifkatu Samson Bebi left the PDP, as a member of the APC, I invited her to join the APC and contribute as she has done in the PDP. That was what caused the problem for me.
“The state government has never invited me for anything nor do I go to them for anything. I should have even apologise to them because I have been speaking against them in my attempt to protect the speaker’s interest which I do with all sense of commitment. There is nothing more discouraging than for one to be doing what is not appreciated. That is why I decided to resign my appointment and stop working for Dogara,” he added.
“So in my capacity as the spokesperson of Dogara Campaign Organisation, member Planning and Steering Committee and a Senior Legislative Aide working for him at the National Assembly, I have resigned from the job.” he noted.
