Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, has congratulated Alhaji Nasir Yahaya-Daura, for emerging as the new Deputy Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria.
Radda’s congratulatory message was contained in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed.
Alhaji Yahaya-Daura, over the weekend, emerged as Deputy Chair of the State Legislatures’ Speakers Conference, at an election in Abuja.
This was sequel to the consensus reached by the aspirants to step down in favour of Yahaya-Daura in view of his outstanding leadership qualities.
Governor Radda described Alhaji Yahaya-Daura as a consummate and thoroughbred lawmaker, whose legislative track record as Katsina Assembly Speaker is simply world class.
The Governor said the Katsina Assembly Speaker’s leadership capacity has never been in doubt.
He noted that the government and people of the State received, with profound delight, the news of his latest elevation in the comity of Nigerian Assemblies’ Speakers.
“Over the last three months, you have steadily and progressively steered the affairs of Katsina State House of Assembly in a manner that can only be described as purposeful and inspiring.
“You have already demystified the art of parliamentary leadership. Mr. Speaker, I have no scintilla of doubt that your emergence as the Deputy Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria, at a time like this, is divine.
“However, it is as a result of the overwhelming confidence your colleagues have in your leadership pedigree. In celebrating your new position, I charge you to repose the confidence of your colleagues.
“Back home, I wish to assure you that the government and good people of Katsina will always support and fervently pray you succeed in your new role. Once again, accept my hearty congrats, Mr. Speaker,” said Governor Radda.
