Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon (Barr) Yakubu Dogara has paid tribute to the late former Speaker of the House of Reps, Rt Hon Ghali Umar Na’abba.

In a condolence message he signed and made available to Journalists in Bauchi on Wednesday, Yakubu Dogara stated that “Nigeria has lost a rare gem, a leader like no other.”

The former Speaker wrote “With a heavy heart but total submission to the will of God, I pay this tribute to an icon, an advocate of transparency, champion of social justice and rule of law who laid a solid foundation for the independence of the legislature in the Fourth Republic, Rt. Hon. Ghali Umar Na’abba, CFR.”

According to him, “Rt. Hon. Na’abba was a principled man, a patriot and leader par excellence. The 4th Assembly, under his able leadership, served as a bulwark for the advancement and defence of freedom, liberty, and strict adherence to democratic tenets.”

Yakubu Dogara added “He was a repository of knowledge who was always willing to share from his fountain of wisdom whenever the legislature ran into murky waters and needed clarity to proceed.”

“His death is a personal loss to me as he was a big brother and mentor who was always there to offer his wise counsel to me whenever the need arose,” he further stated.

Yakubu Dogara concluded by stating, “I commiserate with his immediate family, the government/people of Kano State, and Nigerians. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.”
