Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the
house of representatives, has alleged that Mohammed Abubakar, governor of
Bauchi state, is plotting to implicate him in criminal conspiracy.
In a letter dated March 21, the
speaker told Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of Police (IGP), and Yusuf
Bichi, director-general of the Department of State Services (DSS), that he has
credible information of an ongoing plot to give motorbikes and cars branded in
his name to some “criminals”.
Dogara and Abubakar fell out
shortly after the 2015 elections but their animosity worsened in the buildup to
the supplementary election.
Dogara is fully behind Bala
Mohammed, governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who
secured the highest votes cast in the March 9 election declared inconclusive.
“I write to inform the Inspector
General of Police that I am in receipt of credible intelligence about an
ongoing plot by Bauchi State government to implicate me in a criminal
conspiracy,” Dogara said.
“The Bauchi State government has
procured hundreds of motorbikes and cars which are being branded in the
Government House Bauchi with my pictures and logo of my party, the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and my name inscribed.
“The plan is that the Bauchi
State government will engage some criminal elements and give them the branded
motorbikes and cars which they will use to commit crime and thereafter abandon
them at the scene so as to implicate me.
“I am, by this letter, putting
the Police and other security agencies on notice so as to be on the watch out
for these criminal elements intended to be deployed by Bauchi State
Government.”
