Governor Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar of Bauchi State has lambasted Hon. Yakubu Dogara, Speaker, Federal House of Representatives for accusing him of denying him access to traditional rulers in Bauchi State.

The governor speaking through his Commissioner for Information, Alhaji Abdullahi Edrees said: “I am not aware of such development, nobody stopped anyone from visiting any traditional ruler’s palace in the state. As the Commissioner for Information, I am not aware that somebody is blocked from accessing traditional rulers’ palaces. That is a rumour and an unfounded lie to tarnish the government’s image.”
