The suspension became in connection with attacks on the convoys of the Emirs of Bauchi and Dass, Alhaji Rilwanu Adamu and Alhaji Biliyaminu Othman, respectively on December 31, 2021, by hoodlums on their device to Mwari for the 21st anniversary of the slack leader and crusader, Peter Gonto.

Bauchi Emirate is one of many oldest within the country and I doubt they would elevate a name in accordance with hearsay, especially when I’m accessible and is seemingly to be invited to look sooner than the Emirate council to face any allegations of wrongdoing in opposition to me.

MY TAKE ON MY PURPORTED SUSPENSION AS JAKADAN BAUCHI
The day earlier than this day, January 24, 2022, the Bauchi Emirate Council purportedly offered my suspension as Jakadan Bauchi. As of this day, I’m but to be served with any letter of suspension and extra tenuously, I became by no device urged that there became an allegation of wrongdoing in opposition to me pending sooner than the Emirate Council.
Ordinarily, I wouldn’t be a part of concerns with the Emirate Council on tale of of the honor I enjoy for both His Royal Highness and the Emirate Council. But on tale of there might per chance be a ridiculous and legally inchoate felony complaint filed in opposition to me and others by the Governor of Bauchi Advise and his money fetch lackey who’re at the center of it all, I enjoy determined to swear my hold aspect of the legend as numerous successfully-wishers and even the press enjoy inundated me with a inquire of of to answer to events of the day earlier than this day so that I’m now not convicted within the court of public thought.
Originally, on finish examination, I spotted that the letter of suspension as considered on social media is now not contained within the right kind letterhead of the Bauchi Emirate Council. That speaks volumes. More so, the cause within the attend of the suspension, if good, became that my “determine became mentioned,” which clearly is hearsay. Bauchi Emirate is one of many oldest within the country and I doubt they would elevate a name in accordance with hearsay, especially when I’m accessible and is seemingly to be invited to look sooner than the Emirate council to face any allegations of wrongdoing in opposition to me. This, if good, is proscribed doubt a violation of my constitutionally guaranteed proper to a ravishing hearing. It’s furthermore alleged within the letter below reference that I didn’t sympathise with the 2 Emirs over the wretched incident appealing them, which is entirely wrong. I, attributable to this fact, reproduce below the message I sent to the 2 Emirs within the aftermath of the incident for all to see:
“Allah ya taimaki mai Martaba,
I buy to write and delay my sympathies to you over the wretched incident appealing your entourage whereas making your device from Bauchi to Bogoro earlier this day. It’s miles a huge embarrassment to all of us in my Constituency and the full Advise which I fully condemn and disavow.
It’s rate noting that I’d enjoy loved to individually consult with to delay my apologies on behalf of my constituents nonetheless I know that this kind of consult with might per chance presumably be misconstrued as became the case within the previous when the gates of some palaces had been shut anytime I visited as Speaker.
It’s pointless to stress that the incident became fully avoidable as I had already requested the safety agencies to make security ensures from the organisers of the tournament failing which they ought to peaceable expose them to postpone the tournament within the interest of peace. It became attributable to this fact mindless within the first region, for anybody to enjoy encouraged you to construct your self in harms device, especially when it became glaring that security breach became extra doable than seemingly granted the tension generated by the recklessness of of us who had been speculated to illustrate management.”
This message is distributed thru a proxy for glaring causes.
“Allah ya ja zamanin Mai Martaba cikin koshin lafiya da arziki.”
Fortunately, I enjoy witnesses that this message had been delivered and acknowledged.
It became also acknowledged within the letter below reference that I didn’t demonstrate remorse over the incident. As all of us know, remorse comes as a slay consequence of guilt. The Emirate council can’t convict me over hearsay, without investigation and without sharp me to face any allegations in opposition to me. I take a transparent sense of right and incorrect sooner than God that I haven’t got anything to attain with any mayhem in Zaar land, now not least the incident appealing the 2 Emirs as I had no inkling in any admire that they would presumably be attending an tournament that became already marred by disaster sooner than it started.
I make courageous to instruct, without any equivocation, that I didn’t know the Emirs had been invited to wait on the tournament and despite the indisputable fact that invited, that they would certainly wait on on tale of none of the 2 Emirs is accustomed to attending the kind of tournament in Zaar land. Because of this of this fact, how might per chance presumably I had been accountable for any incident appealing them? These who ought to peaceable demonstrate remorse are of us who insisted on going on with the tournament and unconstitutionally flooded the gap with squaddies whose actions resulted in the breakdown of regulation and uncover within the gap.
Although it looks to be good that the Emirate council did what they need to attain, it’d be no surprise to engrossing watchers of events in Bauchi Advise. I’m aware that both His Royal Highness and members of the Council had been below gigantic tension from the Bauchi Advise Authorities to withdraw the dilapidated title conferred on me for reasonably a whereas now. It’s all segment of a smear marketing campaign to reveal me as insensitive and convict me within the court of public thought for the political positive elements of some determined characters.
The phrase; “Goje uban Kaura” torments the Governor and rents his sleep. Since I dropped love a fetch of weed, in uncover to procure at me, he procured the providers and products of a money fetch lackey in Zaar land who can be a sufferer of the identical delusions of grandeur about destroying my political occupation as within the event that they, now not God, made me who I’m. It’s a pity that they’ve didn’t study the laborious lessons from others who enjoy tried doing so sooner than them. It’s extra tragic for them to imagine that they can’t see what others sooner than them saw by doing what they did. Is there any wise particular person available within the market who believes that he can unmake what God has made?
For their sadistic leisure, the Governor had sooner than now illegally revoked two titles to my land proper as he did to my colleague and namesake, Hon Yakubu Shehu Abdullahi and a broken-down Governor of the Advise who also doubles as his mentor and benefactor. Suspension of dilapidated titles of political opponents at the behest of the Governor has change into routine now. Before mine came, our father, the Wazirin Bauchi, had been suspended. Likewise, my comrade within the APC, the Wakilin Birni, had been also been suspended. The Emir of Misau became also suspended by the Governor. The request is who’s next? This has change into the emblem of infantile politics of the kleptocracy in Bauchi Advise. We need to now not simplest witnessing the brazen decimation of our Advise resources, of which laborious proof abounds, nonetheless our revered dilapidated Institutions and custom.
Fortunately, for any Pharaoh there might per chance presumably be a Moses and I’m elated to be one of many Moses in Bauchi who will lisp with this Pharaoh unless the reproach that has change into our lot is lifted. This mission can’t be deterred or delayed by the full shenanigans of this contemporary Pharaoh and all his puppets. Because of this of this fact, I rejoiceth as a acquire man to hurry this bustle. We should now not simplest elevate attend our swear from these maniacs nonetheless also our dilapidated institutions so that our of us might per chance presumably hurry to them to make justice in cases of want as became always the case.
In admire of the tournament in request, for 2 acquire days resulting within the tournament, there had been demonstrations in Tafawa Balewa metropolis. On the eve of the tournament, females came out in their numbers in exercise of their constitutional rights to peacefully mutter in opposition to the accumulate hosting of the tournament nonetheless
squaddies had been unconstitutionally deployed to beat up and maim the females. I’m sure the Commander- in -Chief who has the prerogatives below the Structure didn’t uncover the deployment of squaddies into Tafawa Balewa. The actions of the illegally and unconstitutionally deployed squaddies modified into the restful mutter violent on the eve of the tournament. The suppose became now not the identical when squaddies had now not been unconstitutionally deployed within the gap as the mutter then became very restful. These squaddies had been procured by the Advise Governor and his acknowledged money fetch lackey who need to endure the elephantine responsibility for the fracture down of regulation and uncover within the gap.
As a leader and elected member representing the gap within the Nationwide Assembly, I had cleared my sense of right and incorrect by beautiful my constitutional responsibility when I alerted security agencies of the undercurrents that might per chance presumably consequence in breakdown of regulation and uncover if the tournament is allowed to head on without some ensures from the organisers of the tournament that it will per chance presumably proceed peacefully. But since the Advise Governor and a money fetch had been the organisers, the spirit of mammon became let loosed, which blinded each and each operator.
Otherwise how might per chance presumably anybody enjoy disregarded the intelligence freely given by someone who has represented the gap for a couple of decade and half of? Not simplest that, they peaceable disregarded the full red flags of pre-tournament protests tournament after violence had ensued. How can any cheap particular person turn round to construct the blame of the teach penalties of the unconstitutional actions of the Advise Governor and a money fetch who went to war with their very hold of us in uncover to host an tournament; if now not politics? No leader wherever will enjoy performed what they did, now not least in a democracy whose custom is consensus and compromise which became what I called for nonetheless which regrettably all of them crudely disregarded. The million Naira request is between me who alerted the safety agencies of the threats posed by the tournament and those that disregarded the full red flags, who showed terrible judgment and pathetic management?
I’m elated to confront anybody in court over the rubbish filed in opposition to me and my brothers as felony complaint. As a attorney, I’m but to see a felony complaint filed in opposition to anybody without the proof of proof. No surprise they’ve been unable to support the rubbish on anybody. Why are they so inept in concocting even a proof of proof nonetheless so alive when it involves lying, stealing and deploying public funds? I had always considered apply of dictators to label political opponents with treason and sadly, the mini Pharaohs in Bauchi enjoy fallen into that rap nonetheless thanks be to God, the Crimson Sea stands between us.
Very soon, the full of Bauchi and certainly Zaar land shall bid ; “the horse and its rider He hath thrown into the sea!”
Prolonged dwell Zaar land
Prolonged dwell Bauchi Advise
Prolonged dwell the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Rt. Hon Yakubu Dogara
Speaker of the eighth Assembly.
