Stop witch-hunting M.A Abubakar, CSO cautions Bauchi governor

A civil rights group, Bauchi Civil Society Organisation Network, society has accused Bauchi state Governor of witch hunt against the immediate past governor of the state Mohammed Abubakar.

At a press conference in Bauchi today, Mohammed Hussein ask the governor of the state to call to order the excesses of BAUCHI STATE FUNDS AND ASSETS RECOVERY COMMITTEE if he is not behind their action thus far. The group leader accused the committee intention is to ridicule the personality of an accomplished leader who served Bauchi State with sincerity, probity and adherence to rule of law. The primitive actions of the Recovery Committee has woken the group from slumber to map out the required defence mechanisms within the orbit of the law to strengthen the records and put those devils to shame including their sponsors that have pending cases bordering on corruption, diversion and stealing of public funds in the courts.

The group equally wants to use this medium to expose the hatchet plan of the poorly constituted committee against the rising political profile of former governor Muhammed Abdullahi Abubakar and the dare devil intention of the committee to overheat the polity and subsequently cause a breach of the peace enjoyed through the efforts of the former governor.

We will be the first to call to account the former governor if the action of the committee is not premeditated because we abhor corruption and will call him out to face any genuine allegation.

We have vowed as Vanguards of Equity and Justice and no matter the quantum of the consequences to expose to the public the real motive behind the James Bond style of administration now in Bauchi State and the cluelessness of the governor for public judgment and discourse in our desire for justice.

The latest offensive against the former governor by the Funds and Assets Recovery Committee was an attack on his private residences at Bauchi GRA and Fadaman Mada where the main entrance gate to the Fadaman Mada residence was forcefully broken without any supporting valid legal document and in the presence of attached police officers. In the illegal operation spiced with hate and envy, four (4) brand new tractors belonging to a private company that were duly purchased through due process and covered with valid official receipts with private cars were carted away under the guise of RECOVERY OF PUBLIC PROPERTIES.

Hussein said In ideal situations, it is holistic to straighten the records at least for posterity and to put a lie to the many falsehoods peddled by the Bauchi State Funds and Assets Recovery Committee in desperation to achieve a hidden agenda against certain targeted politicians in the All Progressives Congress (APC).
