AS the leadership crisis rocking the boat of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) ahead of the 2019 general elections in Bauchi State heightens, a coalition of political organizations in Dass, Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro Federal Constituency of the State under the auspices of the ‘Dass, Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro’ Youths and Elders Forum (DATABO) have passed a vote of confidence on the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.
While addressing Journalists Friday shortly after a rally in support of the Speaker held in Tafawa Balewa Local Government, leader of the Forum, Alhaji Salisu Musa explained that the demonstration was aimed at countering the recent allegation leveled against the Speaker by factional chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the three local government areas  that Yakubu Dogara was allegedly involved in  a plot to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari.

Salisu Musa who described the allegation as mischievous claimed that the Speaker did not only vote for Muhammadu Buhari at the party primaries in 2015 but mobilized delegates from his constituency to support him and the APC during the general elections.
“It will interest you to know that Dogara was one of Muhammadu Buhari’s agents during the primaries. In fact, he used to say that “if you would not vote for Buhari, don’t vote for me”. Let them provide a proof of video or audio clip where the Speaker spoke ills of the President let alone plotting his impeachment”, he said.
Also speaking, another member of the Forum, Mr Bulus Ishaku said the Speaker deserves support from all constituents in view of the numerous developmental projects he has so far executed or facilitated in the three local government areas that make up the Federal constituency regardless of tribal or political differences.

N igerians must move on together as a breakup is not an option, former Senate President, David Mark, said on Friday. “Those who are agitating for otherwise are missing the point. Nigeria has crossed many crucibles. We cannot reverse ourselves,” Mr. Mark told Kaduna State Acting Governor,  Alhaji Aminu Shagali, in Kaduna. He was at the head of a delegation of the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) 3rd Regular Course Alumni Association on a courtesy visit to the acting governor. “The only option is to move on in a manner that is progressive, peaceful and united,” he was further quoted as saying by his media aide, Paul Mumeh.   “We may have our disagreements. But a breakup is not an option. We can resolve our differences through meaningful dialogue and genuine conversation." “There is no use heating up the polity,” the ex-Senate president added. He noted that no matter the imperfections, the nation is greater and better as an indivisible country.

EMIR OF KASTINA TELLS PRESIDENT BUHARI TO SIGN PEACE CORPS BILL

The Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Usman, has declared support for the Peace Corps bill passed by the National Assembly. The bill, which seeks to turn the Peace Corps, a non-government organisation, into a government paramilitary agency, has elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians. Proponents see it as an avenue to create jobs for thousands of youth while critics describe as a duplication of functions already being performed by existing agencies and creation of another bureaucracy at a time the country is finding it difficult to pay workers' salaries. The bill was opposed by existing military and security institutions in Nigeria and the Peace Corps leader Dickson Akoh is currently being prosecuted for alleged fraud.
