Dogara said this while reacting to reports that Yahya Jammeh, the former Gambian President has gone on exile.
The Speaker also commended President Buhari and leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) for prevailing on Jammeh to leave office.
Dogara also added that the intervention of Buhari and the other ECOWAS leaders in The Gambia, saved a lot of lives.

“This would send strong signals to the world that democracy has come to stay in Africa.
“There is no room any longer for tyrants and dictators in the continent.”
