The National Chairman of the
ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has been
warned to steer clear of the political happenings in Bauchi.
The warning was made by a
Coalition of 30 political parties in Bauchi State, which also asked him to mind
the domestic political affairs of Edo State and stop interfering in the
Speakership tussle of the Bauchi State House of Assembly.
Spokesman of the coalition, Sani
Mohammed Bura, spoke at a press conference held at the NUJ Secretariat in
Bauchi.
He condemned the statement credited
to the APC National Chairman who described the emergence of Abubakar Suleiman
as Speaker of the 9th Assembly in the state as an illegality.
He alleged that Oshiomhole’s
remarks concerning the leadership tussle of the Bauchi State Speakership was
aimed at preventing the smooth running of governance in the state.
“As critical stakeholders in
Bauchi State politics, we are calling on the APC National Chairman to take his
eyes, attention and unsolicited concern off Bauchi state. What we are after
now, is the development of Bauchi state and not party politics,” he warned.
Bura added that “13 members of
the State House of Assembly elected the Speaker on the floor of the House
Assembly with the mace, Clerk and staff, but unfortunately, another faction of
the APC who are House members, came out from their hideout and paraded another
person as Speaker. They conducted themselves in an uncivilised manner likely to
ignite trouble.”
The Coalition spokesman, who
noted that the matter was still before the court of law, accused Adams
Oshiomhole of causing confusion in the leadership of the APC in Edo state and
advised him to first resolve the crisis in his state, stop interfering in the
business of other states.
He said that Bauchi State which
in the last four years did not witness any meaningful development under the
platform of the APC, now has a Governor who has shown willingness to develop
the state, but some persons are against the peace of the state.
He concluded that they as
critical stakeholders will not sit down and fold their hands in seeing that
political stability is maintained in the state and therefore advised Adams
Oshiomhole to go take care of the political problem rocking Edo state caused by
him.
