'Yakubu Dogara Is A Blatant Liar'- Bauchi Governor Reacts To Corruption Allegation

 

The former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara has been decribed by the governor of Bauchi state, Bala Mohammed as a blatant liar.

 

Mohammed made the remark in response to allegations Dogara levelled against him.

 

Dogara, who had recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, had accused governor Mohammed of diverting a N4.6billion loan, inflating contracts sums, and mismanagement of local government funds.

 

However, the governor described the allegations by Dogara as fabricated lies.

 

Addressing members of Dass/Tafawa Balewa/Bogoro Constituency on a solidarity visit to him in Bauchi yesterday, the governor said: “It is a very regrettable development, it is unfortunate, because he is a young man that we so much love and appreciate, including me. Even now I don’t harbour any malice against him.

 

The Governor also assured leaders of the PDP in Nigeria that Bauchi remains “intact” for the party.
