The Ekiti state governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, said the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki and Hon. Yakub Dogara as the Senate President and the Speaker House of Assembly respectively is a showcase that Nigeria can't  be owned by anyone and a lauds the process

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said “in particular, the emergence of Hon Yakubu Dogara as the House of Representatives Speaker is a lesson of life that what goes round will definitely come round. 

”He said; “Today, Nigerians demonstrated to the entire world that our country has come of age democratically.

“Also, President Mohammadu Buhari, by not interfering in the process through which the National Assembly leadership emerged today, further demonstrated that as he said in his inaugural speech, he is indeed for everybody, and he is for nobody.

“What happened at the National Assembly today has rekindled my hope in the Nigeria Nation and my abiding faith in the supremacy of the people over those whose major interest is to assume the sole-ownership of the country. It also shows that it is not in all cases that the soul of this nation can be bought off the shelf with stupendous wealth.

“I congratulate Senator Bukola Saraki, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Hon Yakubu Dogara and Hon Yusuf Sulaimon Lasun for this well-deserved victory and I urge them to see their election as a call to the service of their fatherland.”
