They should advice those who hired them to tell all those reported to have the funny thought of impeaching President Buhari to have a rethink, because attempting to do that will have consequences of unquantifiable magnitude for them and any one pushing them towards that political clip
Nigeria, July 25, 2016 – The government of Bauchi State has refuted allegations in the media that it was behind a Pro-Buhari rally staged in the state by “Vanguard for Peace and Tranquility” against attempt in the National Assembly to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari, stressing that it has no business with such rallies since individuals are entitled to protest so long as it remains within the confines of the law.
In a statement, Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Abubakar al-Sadique said the allegations made by Youth Enlightenment Forum are just too shallow.
”, What makes them think Governor Abubakar needs to sponsor anyone to “launder his image before President Muhammadu Buhari” as they alleged?, he queried. He said that Governor Muhammed Abubakar is a believer in the ideals of democracy which guarantees the right to peacefully protest for or against anything that touches their interests.
“It is therefore not the business of His Excellency, Governor Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar who stages what rallies in the State so long as such rallies are carried out within the legality of the law”, he said adding that the governor owes it a duty to receive the protesters who tendered their grievances to President Buhari through Governor Abubakar about the conduct of those who represent them at the National Assembly.
“It must also be clearly stated that in a federation such as ours, there is clear demarcation between the work of a national assembly legislature and that of a state governor. It is imperative, therefore, to warn the so-called “Youth Enlightenment Forum”, which obviously addressed the press on behalf of the said National Assembly members that are reportedly nursing the idea of impeaching President Muhammadu Buhari to desist from dragging the good name of Governor M. A. Abubakar into the dirty dealings of whoever their principals are”, he said, adding that Bauchi people are too politically sophisticated to be deceived into believing that their governor is behind the actions, inactions and dealings in the National Assembly.
He explained that as a qualified constitutional lawyer, the governor has good grasp of the law and a loyal party member whose major preoccupation at the moment is finding lasting solutions to the problems his administration inherited in Bauchi State.
“If members of the so-called “Youth Enlightenment Forum” are as serious in defending their principals as they try to make the electorate believe, they should advice those who hired them to tell all those reported to have the funny thought of impeaching President Buhari to have a rethink, because attempting to do that will have consequences of unquantifiable magnitude for them and any one pushing them towards that political clip”, he said.
