Hon. Farah Dagogo, a former member of the House of Representatives and governorship aspirant in Rivers State, recently spoke on his 63-day detention and subsequent acquittal. After a fallout with ex-Governor Nyesom Wike, Dagogo faced trumped-up charges that ultimately fell apart in court. He expressed gratitude to those who supported him during his ordeal, emphasizing the need to safeguard innocent individuals from political persecution. Despite his exoneration, Dagogo remains focused on justice and accountability in governance.
Reflecting on his experience, Dagogo highlighted the importance of upholding the rule of law and seeking consequences for abuses of power. He emphasized the need to strengthen institutions and prevent the concentration of power in the hands of a few individuals. While he considered pursuing legal actions, he ultimately chose to forgive and move forward in the interest of the people.
Looking ahead, Dagogo remains committed to his party and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, keeping the focus on governance rather than premature election discussions. He urged for unity and peace in Rivers State, calling for politicians to prioritize the well-being and development of the state over personal disputes.
As Dagogo contemplates his next political steps, he remains dedicated to his principles and the vision of a better future for Rivers State and Nigeria as a whole.
