In 2018, Sowore returned to Nigeria, floated his own political party, with the intention to run for president in the 2019 elections, but his campaign was drudgery, marked by controversies and challenges. He was arrested and detained on charges of treasonable felony. This perhaps further heat up his grudge against government and the people of Nigeria. He felt his people had not been fair to him not to have voted for him. He could not gather majority votes in any community and never can. He thus resorted to the _kaka-k’eku-ma-je-sese_ approach, turning himself to a bull in the china shop. He has since been battling his real and perceived enemies. In his mind the only way to get noticed and become accepted was to trouble every emerging government. Every Nigerian government must be pulled down until Sowore emerges. After all, it’s a game of thrones and nothing more!

To all discerning and rational minds Amb. Yusuf Maitama Tuggar’s name and incompetence cannot and should not be written in the same sentence.

Though the group didn’t give names of the plotters, they claimed the reason for the fresh plot is that, some people within the state All Progressives Congress, (APC), are worried that the Local Government Election Petition Tribunal Benue State which is to be constituted by the Chief Judge of the state to handle complaints from the forthcoming local government elections may not compromise and decide cases on their merit.

Under Governor Mohammed’s leadership, Bauchi State has witnessed unprecedented growth in agricultural production, with the state supplying over 75% of the agricultural produce consumed in the North-East as of 2023. His forward-thinking policies have also seen more than 500 local farmers undergo advanced training at the CSS Farms in Karu, Abuja, in collaboration with Israeli experts. These achievements have not only uplifted the lives of countless rural dwellers but have also positioned Bauchi State as a model for sustainable rural development in Nigeria.


However, it appears that the commendable progress in Bauchi State has become a target for those who prioritize personal ambition over the collective good. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, in what can only be described as a desperate bid to regain political relevance, has embarked on a campaign of blackmail and incitement against Governor Bala Mohammed. This is the same Dogara who, during the 2023 presidential election, opposed President Tinubu’s Muslim/Muslim ticket and campaigned against him after being denied the position of Vice Presidential running mate.

Our source reveals that following his [Dogara] purchase of the N4.5billion home in Maitama, he purchased five more homes – three in Bauchi and two in Abuja. These purchases came shortly after the arraignment and release of Alhaji Aliyu Abubakar.

“Aliyu and Dogara shared more in common than the public is aware. Dogara and Aliyu are associates”. It is uncertain the extent of relationship between the two but it is certain a relationship exists. The sudden display of wealth by Yakubu Dogara shortly following the detainment and arraignment of Aliyu Abubakar raises eyebrow.

Prior to venturing into politics, Yakubu Dogara had only practiced as a lawyer for nine years immediately after his NYSC in 1994 until 2005 when he was appointed Special Assistant to the Minister of State for Transport. He was not a man of wealth until he became the Speaker of the House of Representative.

His recent sudden move to the APC from the PDP is considered cover up for his shady deals while at the seat of Speaker. Senator Godswill Akpabio’s declaration before the committee investigating the activities of the NDDC propelled the former speaker into enlisting with the APC. This is according to a source who knows the former speaker. “The reason he went back to the folds of the APC is to save his neck, not patriotism, he has no Iota of morality, but for self-preservation”.

In a publication titled, “On Governor Bala Mohammed’s Latest Tirade and Truculent Buffoonery”, the former Speaker of the 8th House of Representatives threw all decorum to the winds by hurling unprovoked expletives at the Governor whose only crime was to have stated that the policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu were inflicting untold hardship on the people of Nigeria.


As usual, the opportunistic political turncoat left the substance of the current national discourse in an ignoble and unpretentious effort to ingratiate himself with a president who, but for providence, would have been a victim of Dogara’s legendary betrayal.

All along, Dogara had been looking for an opportunity to retrace his step after abandoning Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the candidate of his party in the 2023 presidential elections, for another candidate on the pretext that he was averse to a joint Muslim ticket. Unfortunately for the political conman called Dogara, it was common knowledge that his real reason was the loss of the vice presidential slot, which he had severally bragged was already in his kitty. So, what has changed? Or is he now at home with the ticket? Maybe after finding himself adrift due to his inconsistency and treachery.

Yes, in view of the desperation and frustration of the people and the excruciating economic atmosphere, the only way out to escape unscrupulous thoughts is to ensure that the people’s votes and voices always count. That is where the message of several Civil Society Groups really comes to the fore. The clamor for reform assumes devastating dimension when successive administrations in the country compounded the misery of their people and made the situation looked hopeless. At every point in history where people advocate for a revolution, the situations are usually bad. Ab initio, it was a tussle between the colonialist and the colonized but now, it is a battle between despotic/bad governments and the people. How did Nigeria reach that catastrophic stage? A look at the brief history of countries where clamor for reforms/revolution once assumed centre stage can provide answer to this nagging question.

Formation of Associations and Groups by Members*

Members are expressly prohibited from forming unauthorized groups and associations within the House, as well as from setting up and operating unsanctioned social media platforms and tools. Only groups officially sanctioned by the House and approved by the Speaker are permitted.

Members are strictly advised to adhere to the formation of caucuses as recognized by the House Rules. The proliferation of unapproved associations and caucuses undermines healthy parliamentary activity.

Therefore, Leadership advises Members to immediately discontinue all unauthorized groups and associations. Non-compliance with these guidelines will result in disciplinary actions.
