‘Bauchi Governor Wants To Set Me Up’ — Dogara Writes IG

Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house of representatives, has
alleged that Mohammed Abubakar, governor of Bauchi state, is plotting to
implicate him in criminal conspiracy.

In a letter dated March
21, the speaker told Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of Police (IGP),
and Yusuf Bichi, director-general of the Department of State Services
(DSS), that he has credible information of an ongoing plot to give
motorbikes and cars branded in his name to some “criminals”.

Dogara
and Abubakar fell out shortly after the 2015 elections but their
animosity worsened in the buildup to the supplementary election.

Dogara
is fully behind Bala Mohammed, governorship candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), who secured the highest votes cast in the March 9
election declared inconclusive.

“I write to inform the Inspector
General of Police that I am in receipt of credible intelligence about
an ongoing plot by Bauchi State government to implicate me in a criminal
conspiracy,” Dogara said.

“The Bauchi State government has
procured hundreds of motorbikes and cars which are being branded in the
Government House Bauchi with my pictures and logo of my party, the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and my name inscribed.

“The plan
is that the Bauchi State government will engage some criminal elements
and give them the branded motorbikes and cars which they will use to
commit crime and thereafter abandon them at the scene so as to implicate
me.

“I am, by this letter, putting the Police and other security
agencies on notice so as to be on the watch out for these criminal
elements intended to be deployed by Bauchi State Government.”
