INSPITE OF THE HATE AND INSULTS, I CHOOSE TO SEE NO ENEMIES BUT PARTNERS - DOGARA

Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara on a second appeal to Zaar Sons/Daughters

PASSIONATE APPEAL TO ALL ZAR SONS AND DAUGHTERS

I want to appeal to all Zaar sons and daughters on all social media platforms to cease forthwith, posting anything in my defence even if I am attacked or in the face of obvious provocation. I didn't arrive my station in life by sudden flight nor did I spring up like mushrooms. My boast is in God and he is the one that fights our battles. No infantile attacks by paid goons, such as the ones we  see daily on social media, will take away the joy I have to ran the race that God has set before me. I know those behind it all but I have chosen to forgive and forget, so should all my supporters or admirers. I hold no grudge.

 I plead that henceforth, no one should bother to put up a  defense for me because as Mark Twain said, " A lie can travel around the world and back again while the truth is lacing up its boots.” But lies do not survive the truth as surely as darkness does not survive light. Events in the past bear witnesses to this truth. Those trying hard to divide us will soon realise that there is no honour in fighting to bring down our Zaar nation whose destiny is settled and defended by God.

 I beseech you therefore, brothers/Sisters by the mercies of God, that you also halt hurling insults on fellow Zar sons/ daughters as doing so will further polorise zaar Nation and undermine decades of our struggle, to our collective hurt.

I want to reassure us all that inspite of  the hate and insults, I choose to see no enemies but partners. Conflicts are inevitable in any given society and without escalating constructive conflicts and de-escalating destructive conflicts, we cannot make progress.

This is my second appeal to Zaar Sons/daughters to cease hostilities until we work out a consensus.This is the urgent task before us now which we must accomplish inspite of the distraction. We can achieve this without disgracing any Zaar son/daughter. I am confident that we will emerge from this trial stronger than ever before. On Zaar Unity I stand.

God bless Zaar Nation , God bless Bauchi State and our dear nation, Nigeria.

Rt Hon Yakubu Dogara
