Gov. Abubakar Diverted N400 Billion Using Ghost Workers - House Speaker, Dogara by PoliticsNigeria: 4:37pm On Feb 09, 2019
@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.

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

Provide the evidence to efcc- one day his immunity would finish - then if they don't do their job- we can say they are covering up the governor- until then no more media trial - write the petition with evidence - if the federal allocation to the state is N4.2b please where did, N400b come from O?
