Former Aides of the immediate past speaker of House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, have said that, they are satisfied with the performance of Bauchi state governor and PDP gubernatorial candidate, Bala Mohammed in revitalizing Bauchi state, they disassociate themselves from the antics of Dogara in the state political space.
Recall that recently Dogara declared his total support to the Bauchi state gubernatorial ambition of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar (rtd) in 18 March elections. He urged the people to toe the path of honour by voting out Bala Mohammed from office.
Speaking with journalists in Bauchi yesterday, the leader of the group, Mr Babaji Ayuba Gobbiya, said that the effort being made by Dogara to make himself a godfather in Bauchi politics is a failed ambition.
He said, “We dissociate ourselves from the antics of Dogara Yakubu, and we want to categorically inform the citizens of Bauchi state that what Dogara is doing is nothing but an exhibition of frustration and failed ambition to be the Godfather of Bauchi state politics.”
Babaji who is a former Senior Legislative aide to Yakubu Dogara said the former speaker who only visited the state three times in four years since 2019 is not in the picture of the laudable developmental projects and programmes executed by the Governor Bala Mohammed led administration.
“Followed the recent happenings and antecedents that clouded our politics in Bauchi state that has generated some barrages of reactions and counter reactions on recent accusations raised by the former speaker who they described as a lost but found son of Bauchi state on Governor Bala Mohammed.”
The aides to the former speaker said that all the allegations raised against the Governor by their ex-principal are null and void.
“They are nothing more than fanning a campaign of hate, division and unfounded propaganda. In case Rt. Hon. Dogara Yakubu is not aware, let us bring it as a reminder that the road he and his APC cohorts followed through Burga, Kundak to Duguri, is one major project of Kaura which we believe they had smooth and enjoyable transit to Duguri", Babaji said.
The former Aides pointed out that without the shortest period of time, Bala Mohammed succeeded in constructing so many roads, building and renovations of schools, renovation of 20 local government Secretariat complexes, renovations of hospitals, the ultra modern Government House and many other things.
“To be specific, Bogoro alone has 3 major roads right now going on, which is more than the single road brought by Dogara from Bogoro to Mbat byu. Therefore, quantifying the roads constructed by kaura alone is more than the single road he kept boasting about in 4 years reign as a speaker”, Babaji said.
Babaji advised the former speaker to concentrate on making a better and acceptable propaganda than joining issues with the private life of the Governor.
“On the deposed Wazirin Bauchi, Baba Bello Kirfi, It's unfortunate that RT Hon Dogara has no true knowledge of things and if he is really aware, we expected him to appreciate the effort of his Excellency in reinstating Baba Waziri , whose attitude refused to change from the reason he was earlier disposed by the former Governor M.A Abubakar.”
Gobbiya opined that the deposed Wazirin Bauchi is expected as an elder statesman to be more concerned in uniting the citizens of Bauchi state rather than dividing them.
Babaji urged people of Bauchi state to come out en masse and vote for Bala Mohammed on March 18th, maintaining that the tremendous successes recorded across the state should not be allowed to be derailed by anyone.
