A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr Godfrey Manasseh, says President  Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has forgiven former Speaker Yakubu Dogara for refusing to support his 2023 presidential ambition.
Manasseh ,a die-in- the-wool supporter of Tinubu says the  President  is a kind of person who forgives easily.
It will be recalled that Dogara aligned with some  individuals and Christian groups across the country, particularly in the northern region, to work against Tinubu becoming President in 2023 because of the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC.
But the ruling  party remained resolute on the Muslim-Muslim ticket in the face of stiff opposition, a decision that forced Dogara, a close ally of Tinubu, to express his disagreement with the arrangement saying it was not fair and will promote a bad precedent.
The former Speaker became a strong voice against the Muslim-Muslim ticket, refusing  to support Tinubu.
Dogara instead openly campaigned for and supported former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP for President.
Atiku eventually lost the 2023 Presidential  election election and thereafter went to court  to challenge Tinubu’s emergence.
He lost at the Supreme Court,  with his dream to rule Nigeria in tatters, while Dogara, his associates and Christians who kicked against the APC Muslim- Muslim ticket losing out in the game of power.
Speaking with journalists Monday in Bauchi on the development, Manasseh explained  that Tinubu is a kind of person who forgives in advance.
The medical practitioner, who was a member of Tinubu’s Independent Campaign Council and Chairman of Christians Coalition for Tinubu,  stated that the President had  forgiven Dogara for not giving him the expected support.
“Everyone knows who Mr President is,” he stated.
“President Ahmed Bola Tinubu forgives you before you offend him.
“Dogara and company who fought vehemently against the Muslim-Muslim ticket are forgiven by Mr President.
“When you forgive a child, he has to find his way back to his father.
“I am a Christian and I know the story of the prodigal son.
“When the prodigal son was forgiven, he ran back to his father.
“President Tinubu has forgiven Dogara.
“It is now left for Dogara and his likes to run back to Mr President so that Mr President will take them back”
He opined that Christians are becoming quite aware that the Muslim-Muslim tickets was not meant for religion
“The Muslim-Muslim ticket has fared quite well and in 2027 Christians are voting Tinubu back.
“We will beg some of them not to vote because they will be many Christians that will vote Tinubu again”
He described the president as a great leader who was working tireless to reposition Nigeria towards greatness.
“We said it during campaign that Tinubu is reliable, he is committed, dedicated and can be trusted, so far Nigerians are testifying to that,” he said.
