By ARMSTRONG ALLAHMAGANI, Bauchi –
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Secondus, has commended the Speaker of the Bauchi State House of Assembly, Abubakar Suleiman, for his patriotism and humility towards the growth of democracy in the country.
He made the commendation in his speech while flagging-off construction and dualization of two major roads in Bauchi Metropolis in Bauchi.
Secondus said he is highly impressed by the harmonious working relationship existing between the All Progressives Congress-led State House of Assembly and PDP-led State Executive for the interest and development of the State.
He attributed the cordial working relationship between the two arms of government to the humility of both the Governor and the Speaker.
He said: “We are very proud of the Speaker because it is good to commend somebody who has done very well.’
“One thing we should know in this country is that security does not know political party, infrastructure is not party, desire of the people of Bauchi is not party.
“Indeed the Governor of Bauchi, the Speaker, the entire Executive and the good people of Bauchi are today rejoicing.”
The PDP National Chairman pointed out that Bauchi State has become a reference point and centre of Nigeria’s democracy where the opposition APC is working cordially with the ruling PDP for the interest of the people of their State.
He commended the Governor for the massive infrastructural transformation of the state.
Speaking earlier in a remark, the Speaker, Abubakar Suleiman, told the National Chairman that the secret of the harmonious working relationship existing between them and the Governor is because they have one goal which is development of Bauchi State.
“Mr Chairman, I know you are wondering how we are working together smoothly despite our party differences without any rancour, the entire members of the Bauchi State House of Assembly are patriotic, whenever we are in the House, we put our party differences aside and put Bauchi State and its people before us.
“That’s why the Governor is making this gigantic progress and developmental projects everywhere in the State.
“I know you are aware that he can’t do that without our approval. We will continue to support him in as much as what he will present to us is for the development of Bauchi State and knowing who he is, he will not approach us with anything that is not for the development of Bauchi State.” Suleiman said.
