Bauchi Gov. Debunks Allegations Leveled Against Him By Dogara



- I scored votes more than him from his constituency in 2019 election


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

The governor debunked the allegations while answering questions from Government House Correspondents shortly after receiving in audience, communities of Dass, Bogoro and Tafawa Balewa Federal constituency who paid him a solidarity visit at the Government House, Bauchi. 

Governor Bala Mohammed said despite the allegations by the federal lawmaker, he does not hold malice against the former speaker. 


According to him, he joined politics not to make money, but to serve the electorate through good representation. 

"I am highly emotional and I feel 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 a regrettable development, it is unfortunate because he is a young man that we loved 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 Bala Mohammed warned that the state government will take action against those involved.

The governor who expressed gratitude to the delegation for the visit, reassured them of his administration's desire to ensure their safety at all times in addition to the provision of social amenities.

"I must appreciate you for what you did to me in 2019 general election, the votes I scored is more than that of Yakubu Dogara, it shows that you participated fully in my election."

"I am doing politics not for money but for my people, I have never disrespected Yakubu Dogara despite the allegations."

The governor who regretted the defection of Yakubu Dogara, wished him well in his future political ambitions and endeavours.

"I want to assure the leadership of PDP in Nigeria that Bauchi is still in PDP, as a point of responsibility of leadership, we will not allow any security breach. Yakubu Dogara is free to actualizate his ambitions even try to be bigger than what he is now or trying to run away from some fears."

"He will continue to be my brother, but I think he should think that all what he is doing now is not good for him."

The leadership of the PDP in his constituency, who led the communities on the solidarity, said the visit is to 
reaffirm their support and loyalty to the governor.

The PDP leaders assured Governor Bala that despite Dogara's defection, they are in full support of his administration.
