A socio--political pressure group, Arewa Youth Development Foundation (AYDF), has
declared that no amount of intimidation, harassment, misrepresentation of facts and outright threat from any quarter would make them abandon the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara, even as they described him as their "party".
The group declared that "wherever he goes or whatever party platform he decides to contest for the 2019 elections, we will follow him ".
Speaking at a Press Conference in Bauchi on Monday, acting Chairman of the group, Idris Musa, and the Secretary, Emmanuel Isheni, expressed the group's unflinching support for the Speaker,declaring that "wherever he goes or whatever party platform he decides to contest for the 2019 elections, we will follow him."
The group said the Speaker, who represents Dass/Tafawa Balewa/Bogoro federal constituency, has provided roads, schools, electricity, dams, bridges, empowered youth and women, among many others for the people,adding that Dogara also singlehandedly sponsored the establishment of North-East Development Commission.
According to AYDF, the magnanimity of Yakubu Dogara encompasses those who know him and those who do not know him,stressing that "he has proved beyond reasonable doubt that he is a reliable leader who carries everyone along irrespective of tribe, religious affiliation and geographical location.
"We want to make it categorically clear that we, the Arewa Youth Development Foundation, Bauchi State chapter, are firmly behind him (Dogara), and we pledge our support from now to his future political career."
