There was an unusual presence of security operatives at the Bauchi State House of Assembly complex in the state capital, three days after 22 aggrieved members of the Assembly passed a vote of no confidence on the leadership of the House, and asked them to resign or be impeached.
Governor Bala Mohammed’s Special Adviser on State and National Assembly Liaison, Sani Burra, who confirmed the situation at the complex in a statement, explained that the takeover by security operatives became necessary in a bid to prevent a breakdown of law and order after an attempt by hoodlums to set the complex ablaze.
The aggrieved lawmakers had on Friday last week passed a vote of no confidence on the principal officers of the House, citing ineptitude and dereliction of duty as the reasons for their decision.
