| Speaker Dogara |
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara, has attributed achievements he has recorded as a member and Speaker of the House of Representatives to the trust his constituents reposed in him.
Speaking during a reception in his constituency to celebrate his 50th birthday, he said the people of Bogoro, Dass and Tafewa Balewa gave him the opportunity to become Speaker by re-electing him against all odds and that placed him in a position where he could influence projects of impact to his constituency, Bauchi State, and north east region in general.
He thanked God for making it possible for him to achieve as much as he has, saying he is more propelled by opportunities to be of service to the people than to occupy positions.
"I'm not interested in position, I'm interested in service. Position is useless to me, I just want to serve the people. Whenever my work as a member is finished, God will move me to a position where I can serve my people more and more.
"If it were not for God, it wouldn't have been possible to achieve these things and that is why we are here, to thank God for using you to make this happen. Not because of my birthday, but to thank God.
The Speaker said that the level of devastation caused by years of violence in the north east will take more than 20 years to address.
