Bauchi: Dogara’s Former Aides Kick Against Attempt To Enthrone Himself As Political godfather
BY ADEYEMI AKANJI, BAUCHI – Former aides of the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, have stated that the efforts been made by their former principal to crown himself as the godfather of Bauchi politics was a failed ambition on arrival.
Speaking to Journalists in Bauchi, leader of the group, Babaji Ayuba Gobbiya, said they were dissociating themselves from the antics of Dogara in the political space of Bauchi state.
The former aides 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”.
They therefore called on the people of Bauchi state to come out en mass and vote for the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Bala Mohammed on March 18, adding that the tremendous successes recorded by Governor Mohammed across the state should not be allowed to be derailed by anyone.
In a statement titlesd; “The unrealistic sojourn of Rt. Hon Dogara Yakubu in establishing himself as a godfather in Bauchi state politics,” Babaji Ayuba said that the former Speaker of the House of Reps, 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 Mohammed administration.
They said that their reaction followed the recent happenings and antecedents that clouded politics in Bauchi state that has generated some barrages of reactions and counter reactions on recent accusations raised by Dogara against the governor of Buchi State.
While describing Dogara as a lost but found son of Bauchi state, the aides declared that all the allegations raised against Governor Bala Mohammed by their former principal were null and void.
According to the former aides of Dogara; “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 him 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.
