2019: Group urges electorates to reelect Dogara

ELECTORATES in Dass, Tafawa-Balewa and Bogoro local governments that make up one of the Federal constituencies of Bauchi State have been urged to as a matter necessity re-elect Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara as their representative in the 2019 general to enable continue with his good works not only in the area but the state and country as a whole.

The appeal was made by a political pressure group known as ‘Bauchi Youth Democratic Actors Assembly’ (BAYODA) through its Chairman, Ibrahim S. Aliyu while speaking with newsmen Sunday lauding the Speaker for constructing Mosques, Churches, farmlands, markets in villages and facilitating federal roads in the state worth over N50 billion over the years.

Aside that, Ibrahim Aliyu also hailed Yakubu Dogara for offering free medical treatments to patients across the 20 local government areas of the state on yearly basis saying, “The recent one was conducted in March this year when about 10, 000 patients drawn from across Bauchi State and neighbour states were treated free of charge courtesy of the Speaker.”

“During the exercise, 77 patients suffering from different health problems underwent surgeries free of charge. Of the 77 surgeries carried out, 28 were cataract operations, four patients with goitre and six women with uterus cancers were successfully operated on. This is just as he sponsored the surgery for the separation of conjoined twins at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching Hospital Bauchi,” he also said.

The group further said that although Yakubu Dogara comes from the Sayawa minority tribe, he is loved by all tribes in the state because he has extended his projects to all communities not only in the three local governments he represents but to all parts of Bauchi State.

“I, therefore, call on them to come out massively and vote for Dogara in 2019 as well as members of the House of Representatives to also retain him as the Speaker because he has proved to be a good son, ambassador and representative of the Nigerian masses,” he pleaded.
