Bauchi Youths Threaten To Recall 17 Lawmakers Over Assembly Crisis

By Rauf Oyewole, 

Bauchi Assembly of Youths Political
Actors (BAYOPA) has threatened to initiate recall process against 17
members of the House of Assembly for rescinding their peace pact
following the crisis in the house.

Central coordinator of the
group, Hashim Pali, told newsmen on Sunday that the youth group would
mobilise the constituencies of the 17 aggrieved members to institute a
recall process, if they fail to rejoin their colleagues in the next
seven days.

The group said it issued the ultimatum to ensure peace among the 31 members of the assembly for the state’s development.

“Seventeen
lawmakers under the All Progressives Congress (APC), after a meeting
with President Muhammadu Buhari and party leaders last week, rescinded
the inauguration they participated in at the House of Assembly few days
before.

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms the
unfortunate, unreasonable anti-people decision by some members of the
house led by Kawuwa Damina in renouncing the truce they had some weeks
ago, which resulted in their inauguration.

“These two-faced
people, who were guests to the president last week, went and presented a
rather defeatist, self-serving and democratically dangerous position to
him as far as the interest of Bauchi is concerned.

“Bauchi
State, as well as its development, is the issue of concern to our
people; hence it is a greater interest that must prevail. It is against
this background that we are serving a seven-day warning to them to
rescind their latest decision on the issue or we shall mobilise our
people to proceed with a recall process against them,” BAYOPA said.

Pali further claimed that the progress of the state was slowed down because of the lingering crisis in the assembly.

“Their
actions are slowing the pace of development of our dear state. We hope
that these members will heed our warning and do the right thing, else we
will be forced to recall them,” he said.
