Indication has emerged that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara is set to constitute the principal officers of the chamber when the parliament reconvenes on Tuesday next week.

The speaker, who gave the indication yesterday also expressed optimism that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration would facilitate the expected change for the betterment of Nigerians.

Dogara, who spoke when he played host to members of the All Progressives Congress Youth Forum on a courtesy call in his office, revealed that “ elders of the party had intervened and a meeting had been arranged for yesterday evening where it is expected that the issues will be resolved.

“Everything is being done in conjunction with the party and the leaders to ensure that by the time we reconvene next week all the issues that were there would have been dealt with.

“I am going for a meeting. I hope we should be able to bury our differences so that when we resume announcement will be made for the remaining four leadership positions in the House of Representatives. I’m speaking on behalf of the House of Representatives; I’m not holding brief for the senate. But I sincerely believe that by the time we resume this matter will be a thing of the past,” he assured.

Dogara stated that leadership comes from God and added that “If there were mistakes that were made, we must acknowledge that God in his divine wisdom made those ways possible so that somebody’s destiny would come to pass. I think that is the starting point and that is what we must use in going forward. I can assure you that that problem is almost over.”

The Speaker, who declared that he had trust in the leadership capacity of President Buhari to deliver on his campaign promises however called on Nigerians to pray for the president not to make mistakes as he constitutes his cabinet, saying “if Buhari fails to move Nigeria forward it may be difficult for the present generation of Nigerians to get out of the woods.
