The member representing Lere/Bula
constituency in the Bauchi state House of Assembly, Muhammad Aminu Tukur, has
reacted to the declaration by the All Progressives Congress (APC) against
Speaker House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.
On Saturday, the APC endorsed the
candidature of Mr Godfrey Mannaseh to replace Dogara as member representing
Dass, Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro constituency ahead of the 2019 election.
The party also disclosed that it
had passed a vote of no confidence on the Speaker.
Those who made the declaration
were Haruna Rikaya, APC chairman in Bogoro; Mallam Zubairu, his counterpart in
Dass and Wakili Amadi, the party’s deputy chairman in Tafawa Balewa local
government area.
The party chieftains explained
that their decision was to defend democracy, President Muhammadu Buhari and
Governor Mohammed Abubakar.
They accused Dogara of being a
part of a plot to impeach the nation’s leader.
Reacting, Tukur, in the company
of an APC governorship aspirant, Captain Mohammed Bala Jibrin, said the move to
tarnish the Dogara’s image was being sponsored by some desperate politicians in
the state for political gains.
He said: “It came to our
knowledge that an unknown, clandestine group, suspected to be hired by a
failing politician in Bauchi State is all out to discredit the honour and
integrity of the Speaker for no reasons other than pecuniary, self-serving and
parochial.
“APC chairmen in Dass, Tafawa
Balewa and Bogoro are parading themselves illegally even when the party’s
national chairman is served with court process linking to APC congress.”
According to the lawmaker, Dogara
served as the returning agent for President Buhari at the APC presidential
convention in 2014, and will not do anything to undermine the Buhari-led APC
administration.
He advised members of the public
to ignore the position of the party men, adding that there is no cause for
alarm.
