The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, has warned the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, to avoid trouble by respecting the sanctity of the state House of Assembly.

He gave the warning following the inauguration and election of Speaker of the assembly by 11 of the assembly loyal to the governor out of the elected 31.

Oshiomhole said it was absurd that a minority party shut out 20 of the APC in order to perpetuate the act in the “nocturnal hours”.


The 11 lawmakers – eight of whom were of the Peoples Democratic Party – elected Alh. Abubakar Suleiman while the APC lawmakers returned the Speaker of the Eighth Assembly, Kawuwa Damina, as their own factional speaker.

The immediate past governor, Muhammad Abubakar, led the aggrieved to the APC National Secretariat in Abuja on Friday.

Oshiomhole said, “There is no way the PDP can produce the speaker, the deputy speaker and other principal officers. If the governor insists, then he is inviting trouble for himself. He should have said he is vacating the governorship office until the determination of his case.”

“So if we have not misused federal might or federal instrument or institution to prevent Governor Bala Mohammed from being inaugurated, it is a shame that he would rather sit and use federal institution to undermine the rights and privileges of the APC elected duly by the people of Bauchi State certified by INEC to be inaugurated.”

Oshiomhole said the party would ensure the police did the right thing in Bauchi by providing cover for the parliament and securing lives of .

Oshiomhole lamented that a similar scenario played out in his home state of Edo when nine elect principal officers and shut out 15 others.

“Yours was 6am, Edo was 9.30 pm, all these are unholy hours. Those are nocturnal hours. The working hours for parliament are provided by the rules of the parliament. It is not up to anyone to change those rules only properly constituted parliament can change the rules as they are,” he added.

Meanwhile, a former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, and some chieftains of the party in Edo State have slammed the national Chairman of the ruling party, Adams Oshiomhole, for the recent crisis in the state House of Assembly.

The criticisms came as peace gradually returned to the state.

Nine of the 24-member assembly had met to elect a speaker for the assembly, a development that led to crisis in the state.

Odigie-Oyegun said, “It is a very, very unfortunate situation and it only originates from the breakdown of god-fatherism,” saying the crisis should send a strong message to those he described as “combatants” in the party.

“We saw this happening, we knew it could happen, but, I’m surprised it could happen with this kind of degree of intensity. But, like I told you, god-fatherism does not work with a thinking people who are so diverse.

“Just to remind the combined combatants that if they continue in the path they have set for themselves, they stand the danger of making the APC the opposition party in the state because the division in the party is very deep and if they don’t reconcile quickly, then I can bet them now, that they will lose the state. So, let them not destroy the party and the state because nobody will benefit from it, if that happens, everybody will lose. That’s my only message to them,” he added.

Did they form quorum Mr chairman?

Short man trouble

Short devil, remove the peck in your own eyes first.Your own State has set the precedence, only 9 Lawmakers elected a Speaker in Edo State House of Assembly because of your greed, yet you are saying none sense about Bauchi State. He whose house is on fire does not run after Rat outside.

He should go over to bauchi and start the trouble.

Danku aniyikaye

Oshiomole talks too much and roughly too.

First and foremost, who is Oshiomole to interfere in the matter of state

Isn't it funny that hypocritical Oshiomole can talk about nocturnal activities after all the power tussle they pulled with the 8th assembly

Putting their party interest first above national interest

He must be high on something extraordinary damaging if he think that gov. Bala will place his trust in APC who will be nothing but puppet in the hands of his (Oshiomole) likes!!!

Afterall, their lord and saviour Buhari was the pioneer of all these rubbish

The same way Buhari couldn't trust Nigerians but his kinsmen and ensured he oust Saraki who was duely elected by Nigerians and placed his party there is the same thing Bala is doing!!!

So don't go removing the speck in his eyes when you have yours!!!

But he swore to have Saraki impeached by less than 2/3 of senators he didn't d National Assembly had sanctity abi.. D thunder dat will fire dis man is looking for nuclear energy

they did not break any known law. 1/3 of the house can form a quorum and any decision taken will be binding on who choose to be absent

No difference between oshomole and gorilla

He is inviting trouble for you the capitalist, ehn? God willing no poor youth will be use to settling you differences,ofcourse most of these northern youths are s very gullible but as God live, soon their eyes will open, so that these youths may know that our common enemy in this country are the elites

Or what's the difference between oshomole and chimpanzee?

Double faced man.he is yet to make an official statement on the crises rocking his own state but is here ranting about this.I don't lawlessness but we should criticise all and not part if we must get it right.

This set of politicians in this country are the biggest comedians of all time. We are watching in 5D!!

Have you fixed the one in your state? You cant eat your cake and have it.

Do mind him, he should go and use federal might to unseat a democratically elected governor. Something the man fair and square despite the manipulations of INEC( abi no be their federal might be that).

He is a big fooooooool

modified.....

he is a small foooooooool, midget size

Lol I don't even know why he's complaining. It's not breaking news that APC is a party of the more you see the less you understand.

APC are nothing but a bunch of magicians, manipulators, deceivers, deflectors and other synonyms that depicts dishonesty
