The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, has accepted a request by his constituents to recontest the Bogoro/Dass/Tafawa Balewa Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives.
Dogara disclosed this on Tuesday while addressing hundreds of his constituents who paid him a courtesy call in his home in Abuja.
The Speaker said he was already contemplating stepping aside, having represented the constituency for almost 12 years now.
“Some people said they will retire us from politics, but we want to inform them that only God and the electorate can retire us,” he said.
The speaker added, “Because you came, because of your sacrifice, I want to announce to you that I will run to once again represent our constituency. I will soon come to meet you at home to make this formal.”
“I am shocked and surprised because I never thought or imagined that when I woke up today I will see this mamoth crowd in my house.
“I am seeing faces of people we started this journey with since 2007. I pray God to reward you for this scarifice. I was almost tired having been doing the same thing for almost 12 years now.
