Speaker of the house of reps, Yakubu Dogara won the Sun newspaper Political icon of the year award yesterday and he dedicated the award to his fellow reps members.

He wrote on Social media;

Last night, I was presented with the Political Icon of the Year 2016 at the Sun Awards Ceremony.
This award is for the entire House of Representatives, as there would be no meaningful leadership without the support of each and every Member and storms could not have been weathered without solidarity.
I would like to sincerely thank the Chief Whip, Hon. Alhassan Aso Doguwa, who led the delegation to receive the award on my behalf, and all Members who showed up in their numbers despite my absence, as I am presently on national assignment outside the shores of Nigeria.


It has been an honour leading the Eighth House and moments like this fill me with appreciation for each and every single Member.


I would also like to thank the editorial board of the Sun Newspapers for deeming me worthy of the honour, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, who presented the award, Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and Governors Amosun, Masari and Wike for the solidarity.


This will be taken as encouragement to do even more.

The SUN is a rogue newspaper own by a rogue ex governor of abia state.

Their end is near

No wonder South Africans are insulting us up and down, we celebrate thieves in this cesspit called Nigeria

Okay

It saddens me to see a man like Emeka Anyaoku mixing in such circles..

Sure.. WASTE BIN ICON on the desktop.. spit on thread..

Between the media and the politicians that feeds them.

Congrats to them.

d VP went to Gambia briefly too,



d budget padders(saraki and Dogara) followed their daura master to London(Nigeria's new capital)


#ThereWasNeverAcountry

To say Nigeria is colossal failure is gross understatement

Well deserved award by Buhari's corruption protege.
What happened to the whistleblower Jubrin?
Meanwhile Alhaji Lai Mohammed is spending billions on a useless app for whistleblowers
I laugh in Spanish.

Sun corruption icon of the year

We have totally lost it as a nation. This man and his fellow crooks should be prison by now but rather they are being celebrated and honoured? Isn't this most unimaginable?

same man that was padding budget?

madridguy:
BUNCH OF ROGUES.

I SEE REVOLUTION AGAINST THIS THIEVES COMING SOONER THAN EXPECTED.

Lead and i go follow

Thieves celebrating thieves. No surprises there.

I am not surprised Sun newspaper has always been a rogue newspaper owned by a thief. So giving award to people that contributed to wrongs in this country will always be from Sun newspaper. Just look at the trend wike, best governor and now dogara best politician . Who dey read the paper set. Shioooo. Nonsense and its ingredients.

Someone that was justifying and defending budget padding. Hmmm God save Nigeria.
