ADDRESS BY HON. SPEAKER, RT. HON. DOGARA YAKUBU HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES ON ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE 8TH HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
ON 9TH JUNE, 2016
Protocols:
1. Honourable Colleagues, today, 9th June, 2016 marks
one year anniversary of the inauguration of the 8th House of Representatives.
2. Permit me to request that we cast our minds back to that
historic day when we were sworn in as members of the House of Representatives
in this hallowed chambers. That event was greeted with a lot of hope and
expectations from Nigerians after a common sense revolution swept aside the
ruling party and ushered in the opposition into office for the first time in
Nigeria’s modern political history. There was not just a change of guards at
the Executive level, but also at the Legislature as well. The change involved
both political parties and personnel.
