2019 Elections
I dedicate my victory to God, says Dogora
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has said he dedicates his victory to God and his Constituents.
Dogara, who represents Dass/Tafawa Balewa/Bogoro Federal Constituency of Bauchi State was re-elected Member for the fourth term.
In a media statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen in Bauchi on Monday, by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Turaki Hassan, he said his people have made history.
The statement reads: “I dedicate this victory to God first and our ever peace loving & resilient people of Bogoro/Dass/Tafawa Balewa Federal Constituency who defied all odds to return me to the House of Representatives for an unprecedented 4th term.
“By their uncommon courage, sacrifice and patience in the face of unwarranted provocation, threat & intimidation & attempts to subvert their will by undemocratic forces, they have made history today in Nigeria by breaking a jinx that has plagued the House of Representatives since 1st Assembly as no presiding officer (both Speaker & Deputy Speaker) has ever been re-elected to the House.
“Bogoro/Dass/Tafawa Balewa has also set a record as the first in Bauchi state to return a member to the House of Representatives for a fourth consecutive term.
“Thanks to many friends and supporters who contributed immensely in making this history possible.
“Together we shall continue to defy evil and make Nigeria work again.”
