Crisis hits Bauchi Assembly, as lawmakers warn Speaker to resign or be impeached

by Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr

The leadership of the House has failed in its duty to the members, according to the 22 members of the Dambam/Dagauda/Jalam Constituency led by the Deputy Majority Leader, Baballe Abubakar Dambam.

The 22 members urged the leadership to take the noble course of resigning voluntarily from office or risk being impeached at any time.

According to the leader of the 22 members while addressing journalist at the end of their meeting at the Assembly complex, “After our meeting held today, Friday, 1st July 2022, 22 members of the Bauchi State House of Assembly resolved to pass vote of no confidence on the leadership of the House from today”

He added that, “We consider that as it is today, there is no leadership in the State House of Assembly, I am among the leaders but we feel that it is the right time and we must do it. We have therefore passed a vote of no confidence on all the leaders of the Bauchi State House of Assembly”.

“We are calling on the leaders of the Bauchi State House of Assembly to honorably tender their resignation letters to the Clerk of the Assembly. That will allow the Honorable House the opportunity to elect its leaders in order to forge ahead” he stressed.

“We hope that the affected people will tow the path of honor and step aside because this is a right time to change the leadership of the House. We assure the Governor that the change of leadership in the House will not affect his administration and we will do everything possible to see that his government succeeded”, he concluded

The members lamented that many people could not be evacuated due to poor planning by the government and expressed concern over the way the 2022 Hajj operation was organised.

The members were especially enraged that those who paid after 2019 and 2020 weren’t taken into consideration for the exercise, claiming that it was unfair because many of the trained authorities couldn’t make it, making the voyage extremely challenging.

The Speaker of the House, Abubakar Y. Suleiman, is the Deputy Leader of the exercise, and the members specifically expressed discontent that they were not treated fairly and taken along in the conduct of the activity.

In his reaction to the development, Special Adviser on Assembly Liaison to the Governor, Sani Mohammed Burra said that the issue of Hajj is a general problem across the country due to the limited seats allocated to the state.

On the resolution of the 22 members on the leadership, he said that, “It is their internal affairs and they will resolve it amicably among themselves. I just want to assure that the cordial relationship between the Executive and the Legislature will continue”.
