Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on National Assembly Matters, Kawu Sumaila, has expressed solidarity with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.
This happened when Sumaila appeared at a thanksgiving ceremony organised by Dogara’s constituents under the umbrella of Gobbiya Area Development Association, GADA, held at Gobbiya community, Bogoro Local Government.
Sumaila said his presence at that event which was held to appreciate Dogara for the numerous projects he attracted to the area demonstrated that democracy is at work in Nigeria.
Dogara and the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and some other members of the National Assembly recently dumped the All Progressives Congress, APC for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The presidential aide told reporters: “My presence here shows true democracy. I am in APC and I am working in the office of President Buhari but l’m with Dogara.
“I came to celebrate with him because he is our friend, he is our colleague. I’m the liaison between the executive and the parliament and I enjoy the contributions of Speaker Dogara who works for the unity and development of Nigeria.
“He joined us in 2007 and from there, we identified him as one of the emerging leaders of our time because he is respecting the border between the origin and tribe of the House of Reps we belonged to.
“Therefore, Dogara came, embraced this bridge between religious and tribal diversity and state and other differences.”
