“These paid minions who have sold their conscience and souls to the devil for a morsel  have been broadcasting lies on social media especially WhatsApp with the sole aim of deceiving and hoodwinking  the public into believing that there is a rift between the two leaders of the National Assembly – Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki and His Excellency Rt Hon. Yakubu Dogara

“To the contrary, Dr. Saraki and Barrister Dogara have enjoyed harmonious working relationship in the last three years. The Rt. Hon. Speaker will never ever say those things about the President of the Senate

“But for the unsuspecting members of the public and  supporters of the two leaders, we would have ignored this latest round of fallacious and  fictitious perfidy which is nothing but a piece of devilish fiction as it will fizzle out and end in the pit of hell where it came from.”
