The Speaker, Federal House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for conducting a peaceful senatorial bye-election on Saturday

According to Dogara, the peaceful election was an indication that INEC was capable of conducting the 2019 election.

Dogara, while speaking exclusively with DAILY POST in his village, Gwarangah, Bogoro LGA Bauchi state said, “I am impressed by the arrangement put in place by INEC because as at now, there is no news of violence or irregularities throughout the bye-election in almost all the seven LGAs in the state,” said Dogara.

He admitted that initially, there was poor turn out of voters, attributing same to the farming season. He, however, expressed satisfaction with the voting pattern.

That means they can rig 2019 on behalf of APC, that's the implication of the statement

What I make of the statement is that he won't be defecting again. If he was, he'll be complaining about being disenfranchised, how some people were also denied their civic rights bla bla bla etc. You know the drill, just look for something to say and discredit the whole process.

My opinion though.

This confirms, Dogara is not going to defect from the ruling party.

Hello Mynd44, we've now seen Dogara actually voted, can you also share his reaction on the election with Nairalanders

The same Dogara that was not allowed to vote

Don't expect Dogara to give any negative report about his master!

Nigerians which way forward

On the contrary, he actually voted. Premium times lied.
