5. “Dogara! Dogara! Dogara!”
If there was one man who almost stole the entire budget presentation exercise, then it was the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honorable Yakubu Dogara. Dogara who had been quite silent all through the session, became a centre of attention when he was to give the vote of thanks.
In his speech, Hon Dogara assured the leader of the nation that the national assembly would pass the budget in good time. He however, noted that the NASS will hold President Buhari to every word and provision in the 2016 budget. According to the Speaker, the assembly would work towards suggesting a 12-month financial year to enhance the full implementation of the budget.
At the end of the speech, the entire Assembly was on their feet and like a wrestler who had just one a bout, the House began to cheer, chanting “Dogara! Dogara! Dogara!”. One can try so had to deduce why the gesture was made, however every theory is likely to fall short. Perhaps that was a sign to emphatically state that the leader of the lower chamber is well loved and has his own loyalists.
It will be recalled that getting Hon Dogara to be the Speaker of the House of Reps stirred a fierce political battle within the ruling All Progressives Congress, with theAPC initially refusing the election that brought him into leadership.
