Dogara slams Tinubu over ‘Emi Lo Kan’
A former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has slammed the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu for always expecting loyalty from others as payment for past favours
Dogara issued this criticism via a series of tweets, on Wednesday, while making reference to the well-worn ‘emilokan’ mantra popularized by the APC candidate.

‘Emilokan’ is a Yoruba phrase which means “it is my turn” — Tinubu had uttered this phrase during a meeting with APC stakeholders in Abeokuta in the run-up to the party’s primaries.
In his tweets on Wednesday, Dogara slammed Tinubu for always expecting loyalty from others as payment for past favours.
“Doing things for others and demanding that they pay you back amounts to doing the right things for the wrong reasons — the very definition of heresy. Is it said that ‘the most truly generous persons are those who give silently without hope of praise or reward. #emilokanisheresy,” Dogara noted.
