Dogara said:
"At some point, we feared that peace would never return to the north. Our fears were brought about by the inability of those saddled with the responsibility of protecting lives and properties that seemed handicapped for ethnic, social and political reasons."
"My comrades, there came a ray of hope in 2015 when President Muhammadu Buhari took over the reins of government. His famous speech that emphasized that he belongs to everybody and he belongs to nobody still resonates to date."
"The present administration's actions towards addressing the issues in northern Nigeria have been noteworthy despite the array of conspiracies against it."
Urging Nigerians to join in the partnership for peacebuilding, Dogara said the nation cannot return to the year of serial bombings in Nigeria.
