Dogara, Lawal Meet Wike To Forge All-Inclusive Nigeria …As North-East Leaders Storm PH

The former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal; and the former Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara; last Saturday, held a closed door meeting with Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike.
The strategic meeting held at Wike’s country home in Rumuepirikom, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Speaking with journalists after the meeting, former Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, hinged their visit on the quest and search to build an all-inclusive 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 felt 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 (SGF), Babachir Lawal, explained that their mission was a brotherly visit to the governor of Rivers State.
“We came to visit our brother. He (Wike) is our brother. So, every now and then, the Bible enjoins you to visit one another. That is what we just did.”
Lawal said the interaction with the Rivers State governor had nothing to do with the meeting some northern leaders held in Abuja, last Friday.
“No, there are many things that are in the world for which you need to visit a brother. So, this has nothing to do with our meeting in Abuja”, he added.
