Either true or not, what am sure of is that Dogara will not return to the house and Gov. Abubakar will be reelected.

Just like APC is hated in the South East that's how PDP is hated in North
Is shouldn't be hate voting. If Buhari has love the East the people will support him mind you not the Politicians. During the 2015 election there was low turn-out you know why the East are frustrated by both APC and PDP, They were not happy hence stay at home. The different between North and South is clear just as the different between the people of East and their politicians as seen with IPOB vs Kanu.

This is how PDP use to lie blatantly without reasoning. The first sensible question is, is the entire budget of Bauchi state up toN400billion in 3 1/2 years(bear in mind Bauchi state is oneof the poor state in Nigeria)? Then how much is their enter workforce that just ghost workers alone will consume N400billion in just 31/2 years....?

It would be recalled that the Bauchi state Government had owed workers more than one year salaries following series of verifications allegedly to remove ghost workers from the state’s payroll by the present administration at its inception since 2015, but sadly, shortly after that, the monthly salary bill increased from N2.6 billion to about N7 billion.

Incase you missed the above Sir..
7billion on a monthly basis for 4years should be close to the estimate.
Assuming your allegation is true, was he embezzling the whole allocation without paying workers?
When a group of people decided that they had a case against the cjn, they simply petitioned him. If what he is saying is true he should petition him and use his power as the speaker to invite him to the house. If he can't do that, he is lying and I don't believe him.
Politicians think we are fools and majority of us always concur.

PoliticsNigeria:
@POLITICSNGR

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara, has uncovered massive fraud and theft perpetrated by Bauchi State government under Governor Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar to the tune of N400 billion from May 2015 when he assumed office to date.

PoliticsNGR gathered that while speaking at a campaign rally in Dass, headquarters of Dass local government area on Friday, Hon Dogara presented documented evidence to a mammoth crowd of his constituents showing how thousands of non-existent people were said to have been employed in 2015 shortly after the governor came into office.

The Speaker challenged Governor Abubakar to take him to court and promised that he will defend the allegations and added that as a lawyer he knows the law and would not level false allegations against anyone if he does not have evidence.

A perusal of one of the documents indicates that not fewer than 1,200 people were said to have been employed and added into the state's payroll beginning from July 2015.

However, one of the ghost employees by name, Bappale Adamu, was said to have been born in 1899, which is 120 years ago and started work with the Bauchi state government on July 24, 2015 and will retire from the service in 2023.

Another startling revelation showed that all the 1,200 workers, though have different names and dates of birth, have the same Bank Verification Number (BVN), meaning that their entire salary was being paid into one and same bank account under different names.

The salaries vary from N39,000 to N86,000 and above.

The speaker also wondered how Bauchi State monthly salary skyrocketed from N2.6 billion per month in May 2015 to N7 billion without recruitment of additional workers, especially as the governor had early in his administration, fired thousands of political appointees engaged by former governor Isa Yuguda, which should have reduced the state's wage bill drastically.

He also accused the governor of diverting billions of local government funds in the last 3 1/2 years.

The Speaker also recalled how the governor chased away contractors renovating Dass Central Mosque but failed to renovate it after repeated promises and revealed how he personally paid for the renovation of the mosque.

It would be recalled that the Bauchi state Government had owed workers more than one year salaries following series of verifications allegedly to remove ghost workers from the state’s payroll by the present administration at its inception in 2015, but sadly, shortly after that, the monthly salary bill increased from N2.6 billion to about N7 billion.

In August 2016, political leaders and stakeholders from the state led by the Speaker sought President Mohammadu Buhari’s intervention on the non-payment of salaries which didn’t yield any result and has been the major source of disagreement between the Speaker, political leaders, stakeholders and the Bauchi state Governor.

Should be closed to? He didn't pay workers at all? They didn't run various offices? no any obligations? No provision of physical infrastructure no matter how small? What about his financial support for JTF?

You should have at least saved yourself the public embarrassment by first reading it. Dogara wasn't referring to "per year" but rather since the governor came to office in 2015. Now go and do your research of Bauchi's budget since 2015.
