[LOCAL NEWS]Bauchi Gov Speaks on Dogara's Defection, Debunks Allegations of Corruption by Former Speaker



Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, Tuesday evening, debunked all the allegations levelled against him by former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara.

The governor debunked the allegations while answering questions from Government House reporters shortly after receiving in audience, communities from Dass, Bogoro and Tafawa Balewa Federal constituency who paid him a solidarity visit at the Government House, Bauchi.
Governor Mohammed who said despite the allegations by the federal lawmaker he did not hold malice against him (Dogara), explained that he joined politics not to make money, but to serve the electorate through good representation.
According to him, “I am highly emotional and with the sense of fulfillment and appreciation to the electorate of Bauchi, especially Dass, Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro without any interventions they brought their leaders in front of Government House Bauchi to affirm their loyalty and readiness to continue in the movement we have started in PDP irrespective of what happened with regards to the defection of our brother, Honorable Yakubu Dogara.”
“Yes his defection is regrettable development, it is unfortunate because he is a young man that we love him so much, but he decided to come to show his true colour as a fabricator of lies against my person who has helped him to reconnect and capture his mandate as a member of the Federal House of Representatives after he was denied opportunity by the former Governor.”
“Look at the contracts Dogara awarded in his constituency, the amount is beyond expectations, but look at the road project we awarded in Burga and the amount budgeted for the project.”
On the plans for the security breach in the constituency, Governor Mohammed warned that, the state government will take action against those involved.
