Former Speaker of the House of Reps. Hon. Yakubu DOGARA has dropped the contest for the position of the Deputy National Chaimsn North of the APC at it’s Convention currently underway in Abuja.
In a letter signed by him he said in full.
I wish to communicate my decision to withdraw from the race for the position of the national deputy chairman North of our great party
It was thought that by emergence will no doubt strengthen our parties position especially in Bauchi state, the northeast where the party couldn’t hold onto States after just four years and indeed across all the states because of the extensive network and Rich to serving the former members of the national assembly but it turned out that our respective party leaders have better ideas consequently the micros and the position to borno state whose stakeholders under the leadership of our amiable revolutionary leader his excellency Bilal Zulu and senator kashim shettima have endorsed a brother and a long-standing supporter and Ally senator abubakar kyari for the position.
In the lights of President muhammadu buhari is directive to adopts consensus in filling party positions at this convention and as one of those who are comfortably disposed to Mr president’s political philosophy I wish to on equivocally express my on allied support for consensus and also my endorsement of senator abubakar kyari for the position of deputy chairman North.
I call for the secession of bickering over party positions which is unhelpful to the health and unity of our great political family if APC must attract more members it must be united as no one would board a boat of bickering sailors.
It remains for me to thank my friends from the northwest who bought the forms for me these are the true disciplines of the late sage Sedona who believe in 1 North and committed to walk the talk they were in such a hurry that they actually paid twice for one phone may God reward you a thousand folds and may he restore the peace that we once took for granted in the North and across The Nation.
I therefore call on all my team in supporters across the length and breadth of this country to take this decision in good faith and work towards the emergence of my brother senator abubakar kyari wishing us all a successful convention and journey mercies to our respective destinations
Long live the federal Republic of Nigeria.
Long live APC. I remain yours in-service honorable yakubu dogara speaker of the 8th assembly
