Democratic Party, DP, president Nobert Mao has said fallen speaker Jacob Oulanyah was very loyal to the NRM Party.

Norbert Mao said he had met Oulanyah in 1988 and that since then, their friendship blossomed into a brotherhood.

He said this during a special memorial service convened at the NRM party headquarters to pay tribute to the deceased former speaker of Parliament.

“He lived a life of courage both physical and moral to take tough decisions that many may fear to take. If there was anyone with doubts about Oulanyah’s love for his NRM party, you are then misguided. I salute him for loving and serving his party faithfully and gratefully.”

Nobert Mao says his friendship with the late had become a brotherhood much as they were indifferent political parties.

“Friends are those relatives we choose. If we are honest, there are some of our brothers we wish were born in another family. When you choose friends they become your relative. Jacob Oulanyah became my relative. If Jacob were to be alive as speaker and vice-chairperson of NRM and Mao was to lie dead in a coffin and DP was to hold a memorial service, Jacob would not have hesitated to go to DP headquarters to eulogize me,” Mao said.

Richard Todwong, the NRM Secretary-General said the former speaker was an advocate of reconciliation in the party. He says the party should embrace unity if they are to go far.

“Jacob Oulanyah should be a sign of unity to us. We should forgive one another and reconcile. It will take us far and if we do not do it, we will be hurting our party.”
