Hon. Yakubu Dogara, Speaker of the House of Representatives is very angry with Governor Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar of Bauchi State. He’s accusing the governor of denying him access to traditional rulers in the state.

The lawmaker’s aide, Iliyasu Zwall revealed that: “It was reliably gathered that the state government had ordered that Speaker Dogara Yakubu should not be allowed to visit any palace or be received by any of the traditional rulers across the state for reason best known to them. It was in the agenda that if the Speaker came to the state for the flagging-off of Federal projects in his constituency, Bogoro, Dass, Tafawa Balewa on Saturday, he would visit some royal fathers, including the Emir of Bauchi’s palace, Ningi and that of Misau.”

“But we understood that the state government had warned the traditional rulers not to receive the Speaker in their palace. The Speaker shelved the idea of visiting the royal fathers. Instead, he visited the teaching hospital to see the sick, to avoid putting any traditional ruler in government’s bad records.”
