Bauchi state House of Assembly Speaker, Hon. Abubakar Suleiman has inaugurated special and standing committees that will spearhead legislative functions in the state’s Assembly.
The Speaker’s spokesperson Abdul Ahmad Burra in a statement says the committees will fast tract legislative business of the Assembly.
WikkiTimes reports that insiders in the Assembly accused the Speaker of isolating loyalists of the former speaker, Kawuwa Shehu Damina.
An aggrieved member who pledged anonymity in a Whatsapp message told WikkiTimes that “he just isolated us from holding juicy committees. “All Damina’s loyalists were isolated from good committees”, he said.
The Speaker had earlier in his speech called on aggrieved members who were not satisfied with the committees “to take it in good faith and serve with integrity”.
It would be recalled that Mr. Suleiman emerged as the Assembly speaker following a dramatic and rowdy session that saw warring factions electing two speakers.
