The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has called the bluff of those who are not comfortable by his revelation that the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, prayed for him to become the speaker should go to hell.
Dogara, who made it clear that he did not get any financial support from Fayose, explained the governor only prayed for him.
In his reaction via his Twitter page on Tuesday, told critics who alleged that Fayose might have been part of those who financed him for that position of speaker, that it mattered less for how they feel about what he said..
He said, “I don’t care who is hurt by this revelation. Fayose did not give me anything. He only prayed. Like him or hate him, God can use anybody. God is the giver.
“He prayed before witnesses. I won’t lie. I was rudely shocked because I never expected him to pray for me.
“The truth is that so many people prayed for me and I prayed also. I am thankful to all who stood by me in prayers.
“I don’t care who is hurt by the truth. All I got when I visited Governor Fayose was prayer and nothing else.”
Dogara had during a programme, “A Day with Jesus for Nigeria in Israel,” held in Jerusalem last Sunday, narrated how Governor Fayose prayed and prophesied to him that he would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
